According to a press release by the company, it will construct a plant in Europe to produce high quality ceramic powders, which are a key component of solid oxide fuel cells, using its patented technology. The powder plant is scheduled to be commissioned in the first quarter of2007 .

The alloys, which are highly corrosion resistant and inexpensive to produce, will allow CFCL to continue to reduce the cost of commercial appliances using solid oxide fuel cells, it said.
