  1. Materials Innovations In An Emerging Hydrogen Economy February 24th, 2008 Title: Global Perspectives Towards the Establishment of the Hydrogen Economy Jose Ignacio Galindo – CEO

  2. Agenda Global Overview Oil dependency Alternatives ALSET Proposal Transition Plan Conclusions

  3. Next 40 years (World Oil Production) Control 3% 97% Global Overview The Economy is driven by Politics International Energy Agency (IEA) Estimations: Investments are 20% below (20,000 billion investment) needed to assure suitable supply during the next 25 years. The Market

  4. Global Overview 2006 2008 $ 2.81 per gallon $ 3.14 per gallon 2 years – 12% The US Market

  5. Global Overview 45% of the OIL consumed in the US GASOLINE Automobileindustryisextremelyimportant Introduction

  6. Global Overview There are 600 million passenger cars in the world, 97% gasoline powered. Source: worldmapper.com The Market

  7. Petroleum dependency The more dependent a country is on foreign fuel, the more interested it will be in an alternative source of power. There is need for fuel independency Energy Independency becomes a National Security Issue. Thounsands of barrels per day. Source: International Petroleum Monthly The Market

  8. Other problems… Environmental trends Global Warming Acid Rain Investors’ concern for their company’s impact on the environment The US Market

  9. Alternatives: WHAT ARE THE ALTERNATIVES? Competitive Analysis

  10. Alternatives: Bio-diesel and Ethanol • Both technologies are food based products. Some agricultural products can be converted into fuel. • Biodiesel required Diesel engines (less than 2%) • Their price is tied to that of the commodity. Severalcountries, likeBrazil, haveinvested in thesetechnologies. Competitive Analysis

  11. Alternatives: CNG • CNG issubstanciallycheaper. • Itisalreadydistributedallovertheworld • CNG isstill a fossil fuel. • Thetechnologyisyearsold and itnevertook off in the US Competitive Analysis

  12. Alternatives: Hybrids Although gasoline powered, hybrids have a secondary electric engine that runs on recovered energy from braking. THEY STILL DEPEND ON FOREIGN FUEL Theysave up to 50% in gasoline! Competitive Analysis

  13. Alternatives: Hydrogen Oil price dramatic increase Oil’s imminent shortage Rising environmental concerns Need for a new energy carrier HYDROGEN • Available all over the globe • Clean • Fossil fuel independent Introduction

  14. Alternatives: Fuel Cell & H2ICE Fuel Cell cars Internal Combustion • Hydrogen consuming baterry • Electric engine • Zero emissions! • Mature Technology • Allow Bivalent Operation • Near Zero emissions Introduction

  15. ALSET’s Proposal There is a need for The development of Technologies that allow the transition from fossil fuel to Hydrogen Introduction

  16. Transition Plan H2 Policies R&D Technology Development For transition New Economic Model Strategic Planning Education Safe & Efficient Systems Access to H2 @ Competitive Price Available Adequately Communicated Introduction

  17. H2 Transition Plan WE HAVE TO CREATE A WAY TO GO BACK TO ECONOMICS The Economy driven by Global Market The Economy driven by Politics Source: Financial TImes

  18. Transition Plan THERE HAS TO BE CONSENSUS AMONG

  19. Transition Plan For a successful Implementation of the Hydrogen Economy, industry and future consumers have to: ACKNOWLEDGE HYDROGEN AS A VALID ALTERNATIVE TO GASOLINE HAVE ACCESS TO HYDROGEN AT COMPETITIVE PRICES WE NEED TO START TODAY TO DO THE TRANSITION

  20. Transition Plan Alset Technology: Alset is working on technologies for the transition to the Hydrogen economy: • State of the art Technology for Internal Combustion of Hydrogen • Hydrogen Production

  21. Conclusion LEADERSHIP ISSUE THE UNITED STATES HAS THE CAPACITY TO LEAD THIS TRANSITION TO THE HYDROGEN ECONOMY H2 ECONOMY SHOULD BE The Next Shared vision of America…
