Molten Carbonate Fuel Cells

Name: Molten Carbonate Fuel Cells
Brand: Ecospray Technologies

Molten Carbonate Fuel Cells (MCFC) for ships that generate power and capture up to 90% of CO2 from engine exhaust fed to the cathode; run on LNG, bio-LNG, hydrogen, ammonia or syngas.

Description

Ecospray Molten Carbonate Fuel Cells (MCFC) combine high-efficiency power generation and carbon capture in the same equipment. With no moving parts in the fuel cell, maintenance requirements are low.

How it works onboard

CO2-rich exhaust gas from the ship's power generation system is fed to the fuel cell cathode, where up to 90% of the CO2 is captured. The CO2 transferred to the anode outlet can then be separated and liquefied for further use. The technology captures CO2 efficiently even at very low concentrations.

Key features

Fuels: methane (LNG, bio-LNG), hydrogen, ammonia, syngas and others, with reforming/cracking external or inside the cell
Compact, with reduced opex
Can be integrated with other Ecospray systems such as DeSOx scrubbers, particle filters and oxidation catalysts

Applications

All ship types, especially in combination with bio-LNG or super-bio-LNG.
