  1. EUROPEAN UNION SUSTAINABLE ENERGY WEEK Brussels, January 28th – February 1st, 2008 ‘Don Qhyxote: A company strategy towards sustainability’ Carlos Velasco Hydrogen Division Sales & Marketing Director

  2. Agenda • AJUSA: ICE components manufacturer • Car industry evolution due to: • Pollutant emissions and climate change • Oil scarcity • AJUSA evolution: adaptation to sustainability • PEM Fuel Cells and Hydrogen Technologies • Don Qhyxote Projects • Conclusions • Future

  3. AJUSA presentation • Founded in 1972, AJUSA is today a world leader ICE components manufacturer • Exports 77% of production to 80 countries • Headquarters in Albacete (Spain), branches in Los Angeles, Mexico D.F., Sao Paulo, Moscow and Shanghai • Most complete catalogue for Head Gaskets, Head Bolts, Hydraulic Lifters and Camshafts

  4. Today’s ICE

  5. Unsustainable transport sector • Transport sector emissions represent a high percentage of the total pollutant emissions to the atmosphere • Car industry is responsible for the transport sector to be the one whose emissions have increased in the highest percentage in the last few years • Oil based fuels used in ICE emit huge amounts of greenhouse gasses every year, day after day • Situation is becoming critical in urban areas: Madrid city hall has recently recommended not to practice any outdoor sports until pollution levels decrease somehow (BUT HOW…?????) • Additionally, seems like we are facing a new era of oil scarcity: before 2015 demand might widely exceed supply

  6. Car industry evolution • Oil crisis, announced oil shortages, and the need to reduce CO2 emissions, will bring new technologies into the car industry for vehicle propulsion, which will be very different from today’s ICE • Hydrogen and PEM fuel cells: SUSTAINABLE SOLUTION • Hydrogen: alternative fuel to oil based fuels. Will solve environmental and supply problems, it is extremely clean and inexhaustible • PEM fuel cell: electrochemical device which transforms the hydrogen energy content into electricity • All main car manufacturers have developed hydrogen electrical vehicle prototypes, running on PEM fuel cells.

  7. AJUSA evolution • If car industry evolves to new technologies, AJUSA must evolve in the same way in order to keep its competitiveness in the near future • More than 10 years researching and developing hydrogen technologies • First PEM fuel cell manufacturer in Spain • One of the main promoters of the hydrogen infrastructures in Europe, basic for the implantation of the hydrogen economy

  8. AJUSA adaptation: PEM fuel cells • 35 years of industrial experience, synergy of production processes of four product lines and strong researching capacity: development of optimal processes for manufacturing PEM fuel cells • Current manufacturing processes (machining, molding, stamping, injection, sealing techniques…) are not difficult to adapt to the requirements of the manufacturing processes of the PEM fuel cells • AJUSA is able to manufacture all the components of the PEM fuel cell, ensemble the stack, and develop the required BOP to supply power units for transport, stationary and portable applications

  9. PEM fuel cell models MODEL FC005 • MEA active area: 25 cm2 • Power: 250W • Cooling system: air or water • Hydrogen supply: dead-end • Air supply: continuous flow

  10. PEM fuel cell models MODEL FC006 • MEA active area: 100 cm2 • Power: 3000W • Cooling system: air or water • Hydrogen supply: dead-end • Air supply: continuous flow

  11. PEM fuel cell models MODEL FC010 • MEA active area: 150 cm2 • Power: 5000W • Cooling system: air or water • Hydrogen supply: dead-end • Air supply: continuous flow

  12. PEM fuel cell models MODEL FC012 • MEA active area: 300 cm2 • Power: 10000W • Cooling system: air or water • Hydrogen supply: dead-end • Air supply: continuous flow

  13. Demonstration projects: Hydrogen Scooter Project First vehicle powered by a Spanish PEM fuel cell!! PEM fuel cell and self rechargeable battery hybrid system

  14. Demonstration projects: Hydrogen Scooter Project 100% Spanish Technology • PEM fuel cell model FC010 – 1000W • Hydrogen supply: two metal hydride tanks • Loading capacity 100 Kg, speed 10 Km/h, range 45 km • BOP developed by AJUSA

  15. PEM fuel cell and self rechargeable battery hybrid system Vehicle weight: 800 kg Electric engine power: 4kWe PEMFC power: 5kWe Hydrogen supply: gas - 350 bar Loading capacity: 4 passengers Speed: 30 Km/h Range: 120 Kms Refueling time: 3-4 minutes

  16. 1st PHASE: 350 bar dispenser: TK 16 (cars) y TK 25 (buses) 2nd PHASE: 700 bar dispenser (standardization process) 3rd PHASE: Hydrogen production on-site

  17. 5kWe (electric) and 7kW (heat) PEM fuel cell CHP system, in combination solar thermal and photovoltaic and wind energies

  18. Hydrogen City in AJUSA industrial complex I+D TH

  19. Other Projects PROYECTO EPiCo DEVELOPMENT OF FUEL CELLS IN SPAIN SINGULAR AND STRATEGIC SCIENTIFIC-TECHNOLOGICAL PROJECT ENERGY NATIONAL PROGRAM

  20. Other Projects FUEL CELLS AND THEIR COMPONENTS RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT PROJECTS Funds: PROFITfrom the Science and Education Ministry Energy National Program Strategic action for more efficient and less pollutant energy systems R&D PROJECT Castilla-La Mancha Autonomous Region Government Regional Industry Ministry

  21. Conclusions • AJUSA’s Don Qhyxote Projects show that PEM fuel cells and hydrogen technologies WORK • Hydrogen technologies represent a viable solution to present environmental problems • Viability of hydrogen technologies depends on cooperation between Governments and private industry • A hydrogen economy will allow our society to maintain social, economic and industrial growth in a sustainable way

  22. Future • AJUSA will further promote its Don Qhyxote projects as a sustainable alternative to current energy production-supply models, in an effort to accelerate the implantation of the hydrogen economy • Hydrogen technologies introduces AJUSA in new markets different from the car industry (stationary and portable applications) • NOIL: PEM fuel cell power units in 2008 • Look forward to new cooperation projects and strategic alliances to keep developing hydrogen technologies

  23. THANK YOU FOR YOUR ATTENTION WAY TO HYDROGEN, WAY TO GO! www.ajusa.es
