AGT001 Centerville Fuel Cell - Small-Scale Gas Power Plant in Centerville, United States

AGT001 Centerville Fuel Cell is a small-scale gas power plant located in Centerville, United States, with a capacity of 1.3 MW. The facility uses natural gas as its primary fuel and is classified under the gas power plant sector. It is owned by 2016 ESA Project Company LLC and is currently operational. The plant operates under the regulatory framework of the US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), including the Clean Air Act (CAA) and its associated programs such as the National Ambient Air Quality Standards (NAAQS) and the Acid Rain Program. As a small-scale fuel cell facility, it likely employs advanced combustion technology to minimize emissions compared to traditional gas plants. This facility plays a niche role in the local energy grid, providing distributed generation capacity. Its small size and fuel cell technology contribute to lower environmental impact, supporting grid stability and potentially serving as a model for clean energy integration in the region.

The plant's use of natural gas as a fuel results in lower CO2 emissions compared to coal, but still contributes to greenhouse gas emissions. Its small capacity (1.3 MW) limits its overall environmental footprint. The facility's location in Centerville, a populated area, means local air quality considerations are relevant, though fuel cell technology typically produces fewer pollutants like NOx and SOx than conventional combustion.
