Rolls-Royce Fuel Cell Systems Awarded Third Frontier Grant

4/2/2008 1

Rolls-Royce Fuel Cell Systems, headquartered on the campus of Stark State College of Technology, was awarded a $1 million Third Frontier Grant this past week. The grant was awarded for the development of a High-Pressure Stack Block Test System that would be placed in a Fuel Cell Power Module Overhaul Facility. Rolls-Royce is developing a mega-watt scale solid oxide fuel cell for stationary power generation. Both Stark State College and the Stark Development Board were collaborators on the grant request. The creation of this facility will assist Stark State in developing its fuel cell technician training program. They will assess the training needs of facility personnel and incorporate them into future curriculum. The Stark Development Board will be working with Rolls-Royce and Stark State College of Technology on the development of the Overhaul Facility.
