"Systems that increase efficiency with near-zero emissions will be the cutting edge of America's energy competitiveness in the coming years and decades," said Acumentrics CEO Gary Simon. "This recognition from the ASC underscores the important role fuel cells will play in converting old and new fuel sources into the clean, flexible, efficient, distributed energy resource that America's homes, businesses and transportation sector will need to maintain our living standards and compete globally."
Acumentrics is a leader in applying advanced solid oxide fuel cell (SOFC) technology to highly efficient, clean power-generating systems that run on hydrocarbon fuels such as methane or propane, or on "green fuels" like bio-diesel. The company's tubular ceramics-based fuel cell technology has exceeded performance standards in U.S. Department of Energy Solid-State Energy Conversion Alliance (SECA) Phase I tests, demonstrated the ability to operate for extended periods on synthetic JP-8 fuel, and been the first biogas-fueled SOFC system installed at the innovative GlashusEtt environmental information center in Stockholm.
The ASC award, named in honor of industrial quality consultant Philip Crosby, designates Acumentrics as the organization's 2008 selection for multi-year tracking of its technology, market performance and global competitive leadership.
