January 10, 2022 – The Yaphank Fuel Cell Park at the Town of Brookhaven landfill is open, generating 7.4 megawatts of energy from three SureSource 3000 carbonate fuel cell power plants, Supervisor Ed Romaine announced.\u00a0 Since this electricity is made from RNG and solar panels, it’s 100% green.\u00a0 It could even be argued that this facility is carbon negative because it uses GHGs to make energy that would have otherwise been vented to atmosphere.
\nAccording to Brookhaven Township, the fuel cell facility will provide continuous reliable electricity to the Long Island Power Authority (LIPA) system in Yaphank and will provide sufficient power for 7,500 homes.<\/p>\n
