United Technologies Corporation -- New York Aquarium Installs UTCFC Fuel Cell As a New York Post article notes, the virtually emission free fuel cell will not only decrease the aquarium's reliance on traditional sources of electricity, but it will provide enough waste heat to warm the boiler that supplies water for the building and the tanks, further decreasing energy needs. A spokesman from the New York Power Authority, the agency who installed the fuel cell, notes that although the aquarium has a number of backup systems, the fuel cell is unique because of its high dependability. Director of the aquarium Dr. Paul Boyle claims that the New York Aquarium, as a member of the Wildlife Conservation Society, is committed to finding ways to "conserve energy usage and promote the use of clean energy sources". www.utc.com /press/highlights/aquarium.htm   (515 words)
