  1. co-operative Fuel Cells Development in Eastern Germany Options for Biogenous Gases Dr. Georg Wagener-Lohse, Centre for Energy Technology Brandenburg • What is going on in Germany – roughly speaking • Examples from Mecklenburg, Saxony-Anhalt and Saxony • Fuel Cell for Biogas in Potsdam Bornim • A proposal for the 3rd FP6 call • Some information on CEBra

  2. roughly speaking • Developments are going on in the fields of portable, stationary and mobile fuel cells. • Most Technologies (PEMFC, DMFC, SOFC, MCFC) play a role in R&D work. • Scientific institutes and companies are work-ing in close collaboration. • Several Bundesländer have formed networks to coordinate their developments. • Market actors in the Eastern Bundesländer have founded a network “AFG” under the leadership of co-ordinators and FEE recently.

  3. the race is on HIAT – Hydrogen Institute for Applied Technology, Schwerin ZBT – Centre for FC Technology Duisburg Clean Energy Project, Vattenfall Europe, Berlin Vaillant, Remscheid Biogas based fuel cells, ATB, Potsdam IZES – Institute for Future Energy Systems, Saarbrücken TGZ – Technology and Start-Up Centre, GlaubitzIKTS – Institute for Ceramics, Dresden ZSW – Centre for Solar and Hydrogen Research, StuttgartDaimler-Chrysler Start-Up companies, Munich ISE – Institute for Solar Technology, Freiburg MTU, Friedrichshafen

  4. all in one boat Members of the working and research community AFG 3.4 Mio. 2.6 Mio. 1.8 Mio. 4.5 Mio. 2.7 Mio. 2.5 Mio.

  5. target oriented German Associations for Hydrogen and Fuel Cells Started to Prepare Roadmap • In recent years several associations for the promotion of the “hydrogen society” have been formed. • On the initiative of Prof. Garche, ZSW, and the world fuel cell council all parties met in Ulm on March 26th for the foundation of an informal platform to define a German roadmap within the EU Hydrogen networking activities. • AFG took part in most of the working groups for industrial, home and mobile applications. • Brandenburg has a considerable interest to promote all biomass related applications (solid, liquid, gaseous). • European programs like EIE, 6FP or PHARE should form the basis for future cooperation.

  6. market development • Different projects before or in pilot phase • Limited range of unique developments for main components • Core competence mostly in the US and Canada • Ready configured FC-appliances • Regional, national, global market with strong dynamic • Annual needs in Germany for reconstruction 400,000 and for new applications 300,000 units,expected market share 15,000 • Need for stand alone solutions, APU, combinations

  15. manifold Benefits of interrelated own production • Basic innovation in decentralized energy production • Develop core competences in Germany (stack, reformer, peripheral parts) • Innovative push by interrelated development of components • Cooperative development of SME´s with R&D institutions • Customer oriented adapted appliances • High job creation potential (10 plants one job)

  16. renewable The growing use of Bioenergy is one of the objectives of Brandenburg’s Energy Strategy 2010 The Agro-Technology Institute Potsdam-Bornim is working on Fuel Cells utilizing Biogas 1 kW Test facility with S&R Fuel Cell

  17. interrelated

  18. promising The influence of CH4-content is low at low power densities (0.2 W/cm²) A high difference in single cell performance was found Max. H2 yield is reached under partial load Steam reformer Results functional tests
