Colorado State University hereby gives notice of its intent to purchase a 2G Energy Inc., Agenitor 408 ct0 Combined Heat and Power (CHP) Flexible Fuel Cogenerator system via sole source. The Powerhouse Energy Institute at Colorado State University intends to purchase the cogenerator system for the Decarbonized District Energy System with Renewably Fueled Combined Cooling, Heating, and Power system project. A combined cooling, heating, and power system (CCHP) is an integrated unit that can generate power (electricity), provide heat to a process or building, and provide cooling for a process/building. CSU will do a field demonstration of an internal combustion engine, recover the waste heat from that engine, and use the heat to either provide space conditioning to a building or recover the heat in the turbo-compression cooling system to generate chilled water for a building without any CO2 emissions (decarbonized). CSU must run the CCHP system on pure hydrogen fuel which will have no CO2 emissions during the combustion process. Running on pure hydrogen fuel in an internal combustion (IC) engine is extremely challenging due to the chemical and physical differences of hydrogen compared to traditional gaseous fuels and is a requirement of this research.
