IdaTech's Fuel Cell System Provides Power and Reduces Carbon Footprint at COP17 Conference
(firmenpresse) - BEND, OR -- (Marketwire) -- 11/30/11 -- IdaTech, a global leader in the development and manufacture of Proton Exchange Membrane (PEM) fuel cell products for telecommunications and other critical backup power applications, is pleased to announce its contribution to worldwide sustainability by providing clean energy, for communications equipment, at COP17 in Durban, South Africa.
IdaTech's ElectraGen® ME fuel cell system is providing power to a Base Transceiver Site (BTS) that is supplying cellular phone coverage during the event for COP17 participants. United Nations Climate Change Conference (COP17) runs from 28 November to 09 December in Durban, South Africa.
The ElectraGen ME fuel cell system has many benefits that support the environment including reduction of carbon footprint and significant exhaust emissions savings which would normally be emitted into the atmosphere. When compared to a diesel generator, there is a 50% reduction in CO2 and more than 95% reduction in CO, NOx, and SOx emissions, as well as no particulate matter (PM) emissions. In contrast to diesel generators, fuel cell systems are reliable, efficient, and a clean technology which directly supports global sustainability.
Network operators are increasingly implementing clean technology solutions to lower their environmental impact, improve network reliability and reduce operating expenses through the use of more efficient equipment. Today, IdaTech has more than 75 fuel cell systems installed in telecom networks throughout South Africa.
