The IPFC Process Integrates Two Technologies:Hydrogen Plasma Black Reactor – HPBRwith Direct Carbon Fuel Cell – DCFC
The IPFC Process Integrates Two Technologies:Hydrogen Plasma Black Reactor – HPBRwith Direct Carbon Fuel Cell – DCFCn Lower Production Cost Resulting from:
• High Efficiency• Lower Capital Investment
n Low Pollution Discharges• Half CO2 in concentrated form• 5 to 10X less pollution (NOx and SOx than
conventional power plantn Varied Applications Resulting from:
• Adaptability of Process• Scalability of Process

Highest Powerplant Thermal EfficiencyHighest Powerplant Thermal Efficiencyn When compared to other systems, the IPFC promises the
highest powerplant thermal efficiencies --- ranging from a low of 70% to a high of 92%! (Values vary depending upon the type of fuel, the amount of hydrogen produced in relation to the amount of electricity, and the heating value of the fuel.)
n Natural Gas Combined Cycle powerplants typically achieve 60% thermal efficiency for electricity production.
n Integrated Gasification Combined Cycle plants typically achieve 50 - 55% thermal efficiency for electricity production.
n Current fossil powerplants (Rankine Cycle) generate electricity in a range of 35 - 40% thermal efficiency.
