The energy management model assesses the efficiency benefits of stationary fuel cell applications. Use the interface below to select the stationary fuel cell output and then select the fuel type to see the fossil fuel equivalent for the potential energy savings using a fuel cell to replace conventional electricity generating technologies.
Choose Fuel Cell Power Output:
Btu/kWhr
Oil Equivalent Savings (Gal/Year)
Coal Equivalent Savings (Short Tons)
Natural Gas Equivalent Savings (CF)
Propane Equivalent Savings (gal)
Potential Fuel Cell Specific Savings (MMBtu/Year)
Potential Energy Savings from Replacement of Oil-Fired Generation
4,609
Potential Energy Savings from Replacement of Coal-Fired Generation
4,288
Potential Energy Savings from Replacement of Natural Gas-Fired Generation
3,976
Potential Average Energy Savings from Replacement of Conventional Fossil Fuel Generation
