The BC Hydrogen Highway

• The Hydrogen Highway:

– Demonstration and deployment of hydrogen infrastructure and technology – Applications include:

• Automotive
• Transit buses
• Shuttle buses
• Materials Handling vehicles
• Back-up power
• Stationary power
• Micro-hydrogen applications

– Objectives:

• Build hydrogen infrastructure
• Develop codes & standards
• Media and public awareness
• Accelerate commercialization

– Partnership

• Government of Canada
• Province of British Columbia
• Industry

• A Network of H2 Stations:

– A network of 7 fueling stations will be operational by 2010 – Five stations operational today

• Surrey
• Vancouver (NRC/UBC)
• Victoria
• North Vancouver
• Whistler

– Additional locations

• Vancouver Airport – Mar 2010
• Powertech 700b Portable

Integrated Waste Hydrogen Utilization Program (IWHUP)

Hydrogen Production & Supply:

– H2 Purification Plant

• Operated by HTEC
• Sourced from vented Sodium Chlorate

by-product streams

• Purification of 20kg/ hr H2 at 99.999%

purity (Questair PSA)

• 1,000 kg/ hour available capacity

– H2 Distribution

• 450 barg compressed hydrogen

cylinders (Dynetek Industries)

• Transport Canada approved
• 89kg of Hydrogen per “powercube” (6

per truck)

– H2 Fuelling Stations

• Light-duty vehicle fuelling station

(North Vancouver)

• Heavy-duty vehicle fuelling station

(Port Coquitlam)

12

Integrated Waste Hydrogen Utilization Program (IWHUP)

Fleet Vehicle Demonstration: – Light-Duty Vehicles

• Nine (9) 100% H2-ICE-powered

GMC Sierra 1500 HD trucks

• Converted by Powertech, ETEC and

Roush

• Partnering with US DOE for

emissions and degradation monitoring – Shuttle Buses

• Three (3) 100% H2-ICE-powered

V10 E-450 Ford shuttle buses – Transit Buses

• Four (4) Translink CNG transit

buses converted to HCNG

• Regular fleet service in Port

Coquitlam

13

Integrated Waste Hydrogen Utilization Program (IWHUP)

Stationary Fuel Cell Power: – Easy Wash Car Wash

• Located in North Vancouver
• 150 kW PEM fuel cell system

(Nuvera Fuel Cells) installed at car wash facility provides electricity and hot water

• H2 fuel supply from North

Vancouver waste hydrogen

• Grid-tie net-metering to

balance loads

Canada’s Hydrogen Highway 2010 Olympic H2 i Campaign

The Goals

• The opportunity of the incredible global

reach of the media coverage of the 2010 Olympic and Paralympic Games

• Focus on tangible products in real world

conditions.

• Educate, encourage support, and drive

further investment

• Drive attention to web site:

www.poweringnow.ca

• Attention on media, governments and early

adopters

• Social media presence facebook, twitter,

and

Branding and Advertising

Transit advertising

• Sky Train banners
• Bus tails and interior cards

– “my other bus is Hydrogen powered” – “fuel cell electric cars are twice as efficient, with zero emissions. All huff, none of the puff” – “fuel cells power all sorts of things, all over the place. Who knows maybe this internet thing will take

• ff too.”

Buses

BC Transit 20 Fuel Cell Buses

• World’s largest fleet of FC

electric buses

• Air Liquide fueling station

1000kg/day capacity, liquid H2

• Less than 10 min fuelling time
• Fleet operating 22 hours per day

in Whistler Village

• Evaluation until 2014
• New Flyer, Ballard, ISE Corp

Cars

Fuel Cell Electric Cars

• 15 FC electric cars during

Olympics

Fuel Cell Electric Cars

• 15 FC electric cars during

Olympics

Other Vehicles

• Bus display at the

Vancouver Art Gallery

• ICE Ford Shuttle Bus
