FuelCell Energy, Inc. announced the award of $3,767,380 in funding from the South Coast Air Quality Management District (“SCAQMD”) to enable the development of a renewable fuel cell project. This specific project is aimed at producing renewable hydrogen and power from onsite biogas while avoiding NOx and VOC. The SCAQMD is the air pollution control agency for all of Orange County and the urban portions of Los Angeles, Riverside and San Bernardino counties. This area of 10,743 square miles is home to over 16.8 million people–about half the population of the whole state of California. It is the second most populated urban area in the United States and one of the smoggiest.
