Sprig Electric Installs Pilot Fuel Cell Project

A massive hydrogen fuel cell that offsets about $300,000 in campus heating costs annually, is now installed at San Francisco State University by Sprig Electric as part of a pilot project under the auspices of PG&E. The fuel cell, which sits in a decommissioned steam boiler plant, attached to the gym, generates 1400 KW of electrical power and also significantly reduces SFSU’s greenhouse gas emissions. Electrical power generated by the fuel cell is fed to the campus main substation and has the capacity to be fed back to PG&E’s power grid.
