Our Team

Our aims for today

• To showcase some examples of key potential

applications of fuel cells capable of enhancing the experience and legacy of London 2012 for the audience, athletes, officials, organisers and subsequent users

• To explore the practical opportunities and how

the fuel cell community can help these to be realised.

Overview

• Why fuel cells?
• Revolutionising the energy landscape
• Transport opportunities
• Stationary opportunities
• Portable / battery replacement
• pportunities
• Fuel cells in the Olympics

Why fuel cells?

Fuel cells can:

• Reduce CO2 emissions
• Enhance energy security
• Facilitate a shift to distributed

generation

• Improve grid resilience
• Generate new wealth

Fuel cells are:

• Safe
• Clean
• Efficient
• Quiet
• Reliable
• Available
• Cost competitive

Fuel cells

• perate on a

range of fuels:

• Hydrogen
• Natural Gas
• Methanol, Ethanol
• Methane
• Other

Game-changing energy

In transport:

• Cars
• Buses
• Motorbikes
• Specialist

In power and heat:

• Remote power
• Back-up power
• UPS
• CHP

In portable power:

• Battery

replacement

• Replacement of

portable generators

Transport opportunities (1)

• Zero tailpipe emissions at point
• f use
• Greater range and duty cycle

flexibility than electric vehicles

• Triple operational travel of

BEVs, when deployed as range extender

Transport opportunities (2)

Hydrogen refuelling station - Courtesy of Linde Group

• ~200 refuelling stations currently
• perational worldwide
• European Commission envisages 30 sites

and 3000 vehicles by 2015.

• OEMs have programmes aimed at

commercial launch of tens of thousands

• f fuel cell vehicles by 2015
• Mayor of London committed to hydrogen

• Efficiencies of 80-90%

(compared with 35% for conventional power)

• Over 11,000 small scale units

now deployed

Portable / Battery replacement opportunities

• Able to meet increasing

demand

• No re-charge time
• Silent operation
• Over 10,000 units in
• peration

Fuel Cells in the Olympics

• Torino 2006

Fuel cell powered bus and venue showcasing the role of hydrogen in producing sustainable energy

• Beijing 2008

Fleet of 20 fuel cell powered cars

• Vancouver 2010

Largest fleet (20) of fuel cell powered buses in the world Development of 8 refuelling stations, forming part of North America’s hydrogen highway

• London 2012

20 passenger transport vehicles? 20 off- grid / back-up power installations?

Enhanced Olympics Experience

• Leading edge technology
• Reliable, durable and silent
• Low or no emissions
• Revolutionised energy landscape
• Better than batteries and cleaner than

engines
