Now in Queensland!
A fuel cell gas system (FCGS) is a Type B gas device in QLD.
A FGCS is a device that uses the chemical energy of fuel gas (hydrogen) to produce electricity.
They can be:
- Mobile FCGS, used in vehicles and vessels to power an electric motor for propulsion.
- Stationary FCGS, in fixed applications or packaged units for electrical power generation.
FCGS are Type B gas devices that include a fuel cell and any of the following:
- Hydrogen production unit and storage containers
- Ventilation
- Instrumentation and process controllers
- Pipes, fittings and/or flues
All gas devices must be approved/certified before install and use. The Petroleum and Gas Inspectorate regulates the gas industry by applying the Petroleum and Gas (Production & Safety) Act 2004 (the Act). The purpose of the Act is to facilitate, regulate and develop a safe, efficient, and viable fuel gas industry.
The three below GDAAs have been approved by the Chief Inspector as able to approve the supply, installation, or use of industrial type B gas devices (fuel gas used by way of electro-chemical reaction). Scope/restrictions for each approved body as follows: * Stationary fuel cell gas system * Mobile fuel cell gas system
