Canada’s Hydrogen Highway and the 2010 Olympic Games

The BC Hydrogen Highway •The Hydrogen Highway: – Demonstration and deployment of hydrogen infrastructure and technology – Applications include: • Automotive • Transit buses • Shuttle buses • Materials Handling vehicles • Back-up power • Stationary power • Micro-hydrogen applications – Objectives: • Build hydrogen infrastructure • Develop codes & standards • Media and public awareness • Accelerate commercialization – Partnership • Government of Canada • Province of British Columbia 5 • Industry

Hydrogen Infrastructure •A Network of H2 Stations: – A network of 7 fueling stations will be operational by 2010 – Five stations operational today • Surrey • Vancouver (NRC/UBC) • Victoria • North Vancouver • Whistler – Additional locations • Vancouver Airport – Mar 2010 • Powertech 700b Portable 6

Hydrogen Infrastructure •Pacific Spirit Station: – Location: NRC-IFCI – Capacity: 35 MPa, 67 kg/day – Participants: NRC-IFCI, Plug Power, Linde •Powertech Station: – Location: Surrey, BC – Capacity: 35/70 MPa, 90 kg/day – Participants: Powertech Labs, Linde •Victoria Station: – Location: Langford, BC – Capacity: 35 MPa, 90 kg/day – Participants: BC Transit, Powertech Labs, Linde 7

Hydrogen Infrastructure •Northlands Station: – Location: North Vancouver, BC – Capacity: 35 MPa, 90 kg/day – Participants: Sacré-Davey Engineering, Powertech Labs, Port Metro Vancouver •Vancouver International Airport (YVR) – Location: Richmond, BC – 700 bar 85 kg/day – Participants: Air Liquide, Air Canada, YVR, Government of Canada, 8

Demonstration Programs •Demonstration Programs: – 5 Ford Focus FCV’s – 9 Hydrogen ICE pick ups – 2 Ford ICE Shuttle buses – 4 Hydrogen H-CNG buses – Fuel cell powered car wash – Fuel cell powered forklifts – Back-up & supplemental power – Micro hydrogen devices •Local H2 Production: – Integrated Waste Hydrogen Program (IWHUP) – Purification, distribution and dispensing of waste H2 9

Vancouver Fuel Cell Vehicle Program •Description: – Collaboration with the Government of Canada, the Province of British Columbia, Ford Motor Company and the Canadian Hydrogen and Fuel Cell Association – Evaluate Ford Focus fuel cell vehicles under “real world” conditions – Deployment of 5 cars since 2004 to today – Over 1,200,000 real-world miles for the fleet – Cars in Vancouver and Victoria, BC 10

Integrated Waste Hydrogen Utilization Program (IWHUP) Hydrogen Production & Supply: – H2 Purification Plant • Operated by HTEC • Sourced from vented Sodium Chlorate by-product streams • Purification of 20kg/ hr H2 at 99.999% purity (Questair PSA) • 1,000 kg/ hour available capacity – H2 Distribution • 450 barg compressed hydrogen cylinders (Dynetek Industries) • Transport Canada approved • 89kg of Hydrogen per “powercube” (6 per truck) – H2 Fuelling Stations • Light-duty vehicle fuelling station (North Vancouver) • Heavy-duty vehicle fuelling station (Port Coquitlam) 11

Integrated Waste Hydrogen Utilization Program (IWHUP) Fleet Vehicle Demonstration: – Light-Duty Vehicles • Nine (9) 100% H2-ICE-powered GMC Sierra 1500 HD trucks • Converted by Powertech, ETEC and Roush • Partnering with US DOE for emissions and degradation monitoring – Shuttle Buses • Three (3) 100% H2-ICE-powered V10 E-450 Ford shuttle buses – Transit Buses • Four (4) Translink CNG transit buses converted to HCNG • Regular fleet service in Port Coquitlam 12

Integrated Waste Hydrogen Utilization Program (IWHUP) Stationary Fuel Cell Power: – Easy Wash Car Wash • Located in North Vancouver • 150 kW PEM fuel cell system (Nuvera Fuel Cells) installed at car wash facility provides electricity and hot water • H2 fuel supply from North Vancouver waste hydrogen • Grid-tie net-metering to balance loads 13

Canada’s Hydrogen Highway 2010 Olympic H 2 i Campaign

The Goals • The opportunity of the incredible global reach of the media coverage of the 2010 Olympic and Paralympic Games • Focus on tangible products in real world conditions. • Educate, encourage support, and drive further investment • Drive attention to web site: www.poweringnow.ca • Attention on media, governments and early adopters The H2i “bubble” stands out on a hydrogen fuel cell forklift at the Hydrogen + Fuel Cells 2009 Conference in Vancouver. • Social media presence facebook, twitter, and

Branding and Advertising Transit advertising • Sky Train banners • Bus tails and interior cards – “my other bus is Hydrogen powered” – “fuel cell electric cars are twice as efficient, with zero emissions. All huff, none of the puff” – “fuel cells power all sorts of things, all over the place. Who knows maybe this internet thing will take off too.”

Buses BC Transit 20 Fuel Cell Buses • World’s largest fleet of FC electric buses • Air Liquide fueling station 1000kg/day capacity, liquid H 2 • Less than 10 min fuelling time • Fleet operating 22 hours per day in Whistler Village • Evaluation until 2014 • New Flyer, Ballard, ISE Corp

Cars Fuel Cell Electric Cars • 15 FC electric cars during Olympics
