Bobcat implements fuel cells across two North Dakota production facilities
(WDAY Radio) — Bobcat is using innovative clean energy technology to help power both of its North Dakota plants.
Fuel cells convert natural gas into electricity and heat. The cells were produced by HyAxiom, and have supplied facilities across the country with similar energy options. While the plants don’t run entirely on the fuel cells, each one puts out around 460 kilowatt-hours of power, which makes a big difference and allow for the plants to largely supply for their own energy needs.
“We are proud to be at the forefront of sustainable energy solutions with the installation of these new stationary fuel cells,” said Mike Ballweber, president, Doosan Bobcat North America, in a statement to WDAY Radio. “This is just one example of our commitment to advancing our facilities today for a better tomorrow.”
The Bismarck plant has three cells, while the Gwinner plant has eleven.
