38 United Technologies Corporation
UTC Power
Operations Review: Climate change, rising
energy costs and the environment are major
global concerns. A leader in efficient,
reliable, sustainable energy alternatives,
UTC Power delivers innovative, practical
solutions to customers around the world.
UTC Power launched the PureCell Model
400 fuel cell, a 400-kilowatt system that
doubles the output and life of the PureCell
Model 200, which has led the market in
durability. In 2008, the New York Power
Authority selected UTC Power to supply
12 PureCell Model 400 fuel cells for the
Freedom Tower and three other towers
under construction at the World Trade
Center site in New York City. Samsung
Everland also purchased 12 of the same
fuel cell systems for installation at a
GS Power plant in South Korea.
Corporate Responsibility Progress and
Challenges: Rising fuel costs and
urbanization create a growing demand
worldwide for green onsite power and
transit solutions. The PureCell Model 400
power system completed development in
2008 and its first deliveries will take place
in 2009. UTC Power continues its work
developing the PureMotion power plant
for the fleet bus market. In 2008, it received
the largest U.S. order ever for fuel cell
systems to power transit buses from
AC Transit.
In 2008, AC Transit of Oakland, Calif., announced the largest ever procurement in the United States of fuel cell power systems for
public transport buses. UTC Power will provide 12 PureMotion Model 120 fuel cell systems to AC Transit to power next-generation
hybrid-electric, fuel cell buses, scheduled for delivery in 2009 and 2010. In addition to fuel efficiency, the benefits of fuel cell
buses include zero tailpipe emissions and smooth, quiet operation. The clean operation means these buses have an immediate,
positive impact on street-level emissions.
