MUMBAI, India, June 19 -- Intellectual Property India has published a patent application (202617056645 A) filed by Nuovo Pignone Tecnologie S. R. L. on May 04, 2026, for Dual Purpose Energy Plant Having A Fuel Cell System.
Inventors include Henning, Carlos; Madden, David; and Pandey, Maneesh.
The application for the patent was published on June 05, 2026, under issue no. 23/2026.
Abstract: A system for generating electricity with reduced or negative carbon emissions includes a power plant section having an electricity generating unit that includes a solid oxide fuel cell (SOFC) system. The SOFC system includes a SOFC fuel cell reactor and a combustor with an energy exchange path. The combustor is coupled to the fuel cell reactor to combust unutilized fuel. The system also includes a direct air capture (DAC) section having a carbon dioxide (CO2) adsorption device having a CO2 adsorbent material and a ventilator electrically coupled to the electric generator for flowing ambient air through the CO2 adsorption device in a carbon capture mode. The CO2 adsorption device is coupled to and in energy communication with the energy exchange path for releasing adsorbed CO2 in a carbon release mode.
