PD IEC TS 62282-9-101:2020

This standard PD IEC TS 62282-9-101:2020 Fuel cell technologies is classified in these ICS categories:

• 27.070 Fuel cells

This part of IEC 62282 provides a streamlined methodology to assess major environmental impacts of stationary fuel cell power systems for residential applications. The fuel cell power systems can be complemented with a supplementary heat generator and/or a thermal storage system such as a hot water tank. The analysis can include the import of electricity from the grid or the export to the grid. The analysed systems are intended to meet the electricity and heat demand of a given household.

NOTE This document intends to provide a streamlined life-cycle approach. A more comprehensive life cycle assessment (LCA) for environmental product declaration (EPD) is described in IEC TS 62282-9-1021.

This document provides a set of specific rules, requirements and guidelines based on life cycle thinking for the description of relevant environmental impacts of fuel cell power systems that can be complemented with a supplementary heat generator or a thermal storage system. This document also provides guidance on how to communicate these environmental impacts to consumers.

This document covers the following two environmental aspects:

• greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions in the use stage; and

• utilization of abiotic resources.

This document focuses on residential applications, but can also be used to assess systems in commercial applications such as small retailers or service shops.
