Hydrogen Energy Applications

Back-Up Power

◆ Fragile electricity

grids

◆ Hurricane Sandy:

fuel cell systems mandated for telecoms

◆ Hydrogen

infrastructure is lacking

Domestic Power

◆ Ubiquitous growth of

renewables (IPCC)

◆ Intermittency threatens

grid stability

◆ Local energy -

generation, storage and consumption

3rd World

◆ Primary power for

remote communities

◆ Critical national

infrastructure investment

◆ Renewable power

storage

Hydrogen is the perfect energy store

Automotive Fuel

◆ Electric vehicles ◆ Fuel from renewables ◆ Fuel cell vehicle

fleets launching in 2015

Where is the Hydrogen Infrastructure?

5

◆ But there is a problem: the lack of suitable hydrogen infrastructure

◆ How do you generate the hydrogen? ◆ How do you get it to the point of use?

70% of hydrogen cost is delivery cost Wouldn’t it be great if hydrogen could be generated on site instead?
