Figure 12. Fuel cell efficiency. IFC 1999
Notes:
If a fuel cell system utilizes the heat that it generates, than it is twice as efficient than gas electric motors, micro turbines, and diesel electric motors.
- Converts 40 percent of available fuel to electricity (80 percent with heat recovery) compared with 20 percent conversion for traditional combustion power plants
- Reduces fuel costs and conserves natural resources
