The first choice for a quick reliability option to fill the power gap today is often diesel generators, but climate commitments at the federal, state and company level as well as local air quality regulations make them less viable moving forward. A better Microgrid Gap Solution also fills the fit gap and sustainability gap.
Stationary fuel cells can run on natural gas, which is readily available and cleaner than the diesel used by diesel generators, and they are 1.5-2 times more efficient than diesel…
