VERSA POWER SYSTEMS

Versa Power Systems (VPS), based in Littleton, Colorado and Calgary, Alberta, is developing solid oxide fuel cell (SOFC) technology. VPS was founded in 2001 as a joint venture between the Gas Technology Institute, Electric Power Research Institute, Materials and Systems Research, Inc., and University of Utah. Fuel Cell Energy has since acquired an equity position in VPS, transfering to VPS the former solid oxide fuel cell development team and assets of Global Thermoelectric Inc. Versa Power Systems is developing advanced SOFC cells, stacks and power plants for various stationary and mobile applications. The company is currently focused on pre-commercial development of its SOFC technology with 2 kW – 10 kW prototype systems for field trial demonstrations.
