  1. Hydrogen for Energy – Pure and SustainableAn update from the fuel cell world Amanda Lyne, ACAL Energy, VP Strategic Business Development October 2011 for SuperGen Event

  2. Fuel cell technology is starting to penetrate niche markets$500M Today Growing to $1B in 2014, Potentially Even Faster Growth After 2015 Example: Ballard Yearly Unit Sales Growing Rapidly in B/U and Materials Handling Total 3,014 Total 1,700 Total 1,177 Total 849 Total 462 • Stationary market growing rapidly • 1-5kW size for telecom back-up in emerging markets • But, larger size applications beginning to accelerate • Materials handling also growing • Driven largely by Plug Power, recently placed 3,000 unit order from Ballard • Size range increasing, now up to 20kW • CHP continues to grow in Japan • Recently nuclear problems have accelerated interest • German commitment via Callux project

  3. Global auto rollout is happening for 2015 Automotive demands will drive supply chain development, currently assuming initial roll out based on reformer technology

  4. Move to Renewables is Creating New Opportunities for FC & Hydrogen

  5. Global examples of small scale stationary deployment Hydrogenics Date centre & UPS IdaTech Telecoms back up (Liquid fuel) Dantherm Power Telecom’s back up Altergy Telecoms Back Up

  6. Fuel Cell products for CHP BaxiInnotech PEM micro CHP UTC SOFC CHP systems HEXIS SOFC Ene Farm PEM CHP CFCL BlueGen SOFC

  7. Fuel Cell Products – Materials Handling Plug Power Gendrive Hydrogenics Nuvera

  8. Challenges remain to achieve mass market take up • Cost down • Mass market supply chain • More cost effective durability • Re-fuelling Infrastructure • For automotive & transport • For niche application (packed gas logistics) • For integration in renewable systems • System Integration and increased awareness • Investment in innovation • Reduction in development risk versus investment payback

  9. A fundamentally lower cost, more reliable PEM Fuel Cell System ACAL Process Flow Diagram Proprietary Catalyst Solution Air, Water Vapor, Heat * PEM Fuel cells are proton exchange membrane fuel cells which are most the commonly used type for automotive and stationary power applications Fuel Cell Stack Regenerator FlowCath® replaces up to 90% of the expensive platinum catalyst found in a PEM Fuel Cell with a safe, low cost, water-based catalyst solution. Which eliminates the need for membrane dehydration, has no peroxide attack, and no catalyst deactivation that leads to improved reliability and robustness At the same time it eliminates the need for humidification, air and fuel pressurization, and a separate cooling system. Provides cost savings of 40% and greater over conventional PEM Fuel Cell systems. Technology can be applied to PEM Fuel Cells from 1 to 200kW+ in size. Blower Air Hydrogen or Reformate Fuel Pump

  10. First system will be installed by end of the Summer 2011 Pipeline supplied hydrogen Net 1kW (Gross 2.5kW) power for environmental remediation plant pump Uninterrupted power supply (UPS) and continuous running duty cycles Subsequent units in the planning stage
