Yes, with either a reformer system or an electrolyzer system.

Roughly 50psi, the equivalent of a truck tire.

No. It is optional (to maximize the H2 production cycle if desired.)

Yes, it can operate on a flex-fuel basis. With a standard reformer system, it can handle a wide range of “lighter” carbon-based feedstocks, such as methane/natural gas, propane, butane and methanol. With an upgraded catalyst and reformer, it can run on “heavier” feedstocks, including diesel and phenols (aromatic compounds).

A pressurized Solid Oxide Fuel Cell (SOFC). It cannot operate with a PEM fuel cell.

Through extensive cyber-physical testing, it is estimated that the hybrid H2PWR SOFC will have a useful life that lasts better than 7 times a stand-alone unit.

Yes. Please see the Locational Benefits section, as well as the three Markets sections.

Yes. Please see the Utility Markets section.

Basically, sources of generation placed throughout the distribution grid, augmenting the large centralized power plants (such as nuclear and coal-fired plants). DG can be strategically located by a host utility and/or it can be added on the consumer-side of the meter. Please see the “DG” Section.

For the utility industry, it is essentially operating reserves that can be deployed to basically “jump start” the bulk grid when there has been an extended black-out. The H2PWR System – when deployed as a utility-based DG asset – can aid in providing “black-start” capability.

Yes. The method is called “Methane Pyrolysis” and it is in more-or-less in the research stage –  it is reaching the prototype stage at a federal lab. RPW is watching this technology closely.
