POWER GENERATION<br />
Braintree Municipal Landfill, Braintree: A UTC Power 200-kW PAFC was installed at<br />
the Braintree Landfill, running on methane gas. Partially funded by the Massachusetts<br />
Division of Energy Resources.<br />
U.S. Coast Guard Air Station, Cape Cod: <strong>Fuel</strong>Cell Energy 250-kW fuel cell CHP plant<br />
was installed with funding from the Green Power Initiative of the Renewable Energy<br />
Trust (administered by the Massachusetts Technology Collaborative), DoD’s Climate<br />
Change <strong>Fuel</strong> Cell Program and KeySpan Energy.<br />
Verizon Switching Station, Woburn: Verizon installed a Nuvera <strong>Fuel</strong> <strong>Cells</strong>’ 5-kW<br />
proton exchange membrane (PEM) fuel cell to provide critical power to a remote<br />
switching station in Woburn, MA. Partially funded by the Massachusetts Technology<br />

The Michigan Economic Development Corp. and Michigan Automotive Partnership study<br />
that identifies tactics to position Michigan as a leading candidate for potential fuel cell<br />
manufacturing facility investment.<br />
Based on discussions with fuel cell manufacturers and suppliers, the study recommends<br />
five key areas that Michigan must address to better position itself as a leader in<br />
alternative powertrain technology and to become a viable candidate for fuel cell<br />
manufacturing:<br />
• The creation of the Michigan Advanced Automotive Powertrain Technology<br />
Alliance.<br />
• An investigation on the feasibility of creating a power electronics “Center of<br />
Excellence.”<br />
• Establish a Michigan Hydrogen Infrastructure Working Group to include the<br />
investigation of necessary changes and lead time requirements for service<br />
and repair of infrastructure related to fuel cell and alternative technology<br />
vehicles.<br />
