Innovative Company Transforms Waste into Hydrogen, Electricity, and Water

Toyota and FuelCell Energy have deployed the world's first "tri-gen" system at Toyota's Long Beach port facility in California, which converts methane-rich waste gas into clean hydrogen, electricity, and water. The system, powered by a molten carbonate fuel cell, is capable of producing 2.3 megawatts of electricity, 1,200 kilograms of hydrogen, and 1,400 gallons of water per day. Toyota will use the hydrogen for its fleet of fuel cell trucks and vehicles, while the electricity will power all port operations. The project is expected to eliminate over 9,000 tons of CO2 annually and may have future applications in other industries.
