Our Team • Jonathan Hawthorn BOC/Linde • Dennis Hayter Intelligent Energy Ltd • John Jostins Microcab Industries Ltd • John Lidderdale Logan Energy • Natalia Zglobisz Energy Generation and Supply KTN
Our aims for today • To showcase some examples of key potential applications of fuel cells capable of enhancing the experience and legacy of London 2012 for the audience, athletes, officials, organisers and subsequent users • To explore the practical opportunities and how the fuel cell community can help these to be realised.
Overview • Why fuel cells? • Revolutionising the energy landscape • Transport opportunities • Stationary opportunities • Portable / battery replacement opportunities • Fuel cells in the Olympics
Why fuel cells? Fuel cells Fuel cells can: operate on a • Reduce CO 2 emissions range of fuels: • Enhance energy security • Hydrogen • Facilitate a shift to distributed • Natural Gas generation • Methanol, Ethanol • Improve grid resilience Fuel cells are: • Methane • Generate new wealth • Safe • Other • Clean • Efficient • Quiet • Reliable • Available • Cost competitive
Game-changing energy In power and heat: • Remote power • Back-up power • UPS Courtesy of Daimler Chrysler Courtesy of NEC • CHP In transport: In portable power: • Cars • Battery • Buses replacement • Motorbikes • Replacement of • Specialist portable generators Courtesy of UTC Fuel Cell
Transport opportunities (1) • Zero tailpipe emissions at point of use • Greater range and duty cycle flexibility than electric vehicles • Triple operational travel of BEVs, when deployed as range Courtesy of Intelligent Energy extender Courtesy of Microcab Courtesy of Intelligent Energy Courtesy of Microcab
Transport opportunities (2) • ~200 refuelling stations currently operational worldwide • European Commission envisages 30 sites and 3000 vehicles by 2015. • OEMs have programmes aimed at commercial launch of tens of thousands of fuel cell vehicles by 2015 Diesel APU.
