8. STATE AND LOCALLY-SUPPORTED DEMONSTRATIONS<br />

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 />

Collaborative Premium Power Program (part of the <strong>Fuel</strong> Cell Initiative).<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 />
