Highly efficient and climate-friendly The T-cell has electrical efficiency of over 65% and is therefore particularly climate-friendly.

This efficiency is achieved through the novel combination of a turbo engine with the innovative high-temperature fuel cell technology. The proportion of fuel energy that the fuel cell does not convert into electricity is available to the turbo engine as heat for further power generation. Additional power is therefore generated and a significantly higher level of efficiency is achieved in comparison with a pure fuel cell process.

Furthermore, the waste heat produced from the decentralised position of the T-cell can be used to meet surrounding local needs for heating, air conditioning or processes. The resulting overall efficiency, which includes the use of waste heat, is therefore over 97%.

By using the waste heat from the T-cell systems, which it is expected will be powered increasingly by fuels from power-to-X sources or other climate-neutrally generated hydrocarbons, the 30% thermal capacity currently emitted into the environment via power plant cooling towers can be used effectively in local district heating systems. Furthermore, the use of power-to-X or biogenically produced fuels in the T-cells results in a reduction of CO₂ emissions from fossil sources. In addition to the environmental friendliness achieved as a consequence of the efficiency, the T-cell can also be operated entirely CO₂-neutrally, depending on the fuel used.
