Project Description | Alberta Innovates has contracted FuelCell Energy to carry out an engineering study of a megawatt-scale molten carbonate fuel cell facility at the Husky Energy Lloydminster site. The fuel cell will generate electricity from methane while capturing 43 tpd CO2 from flue gas emitted by the gas-fired steam generation plant. No word on transport or storage, but if the pilot progresses, CO2 may be combined with current supply trucked from existing capture plant at site for EOR use by Husky. The study will also consider the Scotford bitumen upgrading facility near Edmonton as a second potential site. The study is part of the ongoing COISA Joint Industry Project on molten carbonate fuel cells which mentions plans for a 1.4 MW pilot. (Location marked arbitrary on Husky site.)
