After rigorous testing and evaluation for compliance, Australian Gas Association (AGA) has certified the BlueGen to a new safety standard for fuel cell appliances. BlueGen is the first product to comply with this new standard in Australia.
BlueGen is now certified as a ‘Type A’ gas appliance, which allows BlueGen units to be installed by a licensed and trained plumber or gas fitter as for any other typical gas appliance in Australia. BlueGen has also been certified for both indoor and outdoor installations. Previously, the installation of BlueGen was restricted as a ‘Type B’ appliance, meaning that the respective State Technical Regulator was required to inspect and approve each installation.
BlueGen uses patented ceramic fuel cell technology to turn natural gas into electricity and heat for hot water, with the highest electrical efficiency of any small-scale generating technology in the world.
In Australia, BlueGen units are installed in Melbourne, Sydney, Adelaide, Canberra and Brisbane.
