In
2006, California State University Northridge (CSUN) enacted one of
the most comprehensive university policies on clean energy in the
U. S. As part of the new policy, the university sought a new
power generation system that was efficient, secure and environmentally
friendly. CSUN installed the single largest fuel cell at any university
in the world in February 2007 - a one megawatt (1 MW) stationary
fuel cell power plant system from FuelCell Energy®. The system,
comprised of four Direct FuelCell® 300 (DFC300®) power plants,
reforms hydrogen from natural gas to power the 1 MW fuel cell.
CSUN
invites all interested students, professors, alumni, and professionals
from the fields of environmental and occupational health, chemistry,
engineering, biology, and public health and safety to attend this
stimulating presentation on Sustainability Initiatives.
