On March 7, Fujitsu America, Inc. announced its selection of UTC Power, a United Technologies company, to provide a PureCell™ Model 200 fuel cell to power and heat a portion of its Silicon Valley Campus in Sunnyvale, California. UTC Power will also service the unit for 15 years. This makes Fujitsu the Silicon Valley’s first long-term user of this environmentally-friendly technology. According to Marty W. Engh, Sr., Facilities Services Director of the Fujitsu Silicon Valley Campus, “Because fuel cells are among the cleanest power-generating technologies available today, this installation is only the beginning of our relationship with UTC Power. Fuel cells operate without combustion. Hydrogen fuel and oxygen from the air are combined in the fuel cell to produce electricity, heat and water. We are pleased to bring this green alternative energy solution to Silicon Valley and make our contribution to the Valley’s critical clean air initiative.”  Fujitsu expects this fuel cell unit to pay for itself in about three years because of the energy savings it will generate. It offers an extremely attractive, sustainable, reliable and efficient on-site energy solution that the company requires.  To read the complete press release about Fujitsu and its latest demonstration of environmental commitment, click here.
