Shipments
U.S. Strengths Leading fuel cell manufacturers – Bloom Energy, FuelCell Energy, Plug Power CHP/Tri-generation Component/Supply Chain U.S. strong leader in several market sectors – telecom backup, material handling, large-scale stationary Hydrogen fueling in CA ($46.6 million for 28 new stations), dispensers at warehouses ZEV Action plan – 8 states
DOE Funding Recent awards: $20 Million for Hydrogen Production and Delivery $7 million for Hydrogen Storage SBIR/STTR for components ARPA-E - $33 Million for Fuel Cell Distributed Generation Recent RFPs: $2 million for Supply Chain $4.6 million for incubator projects (non-PGM catalysts, hydrogen storage, production
Patent Leader
Japan’s Strengths Fuel cell vehicles – Honda, Toyota, Nissan Hydrogen infrastructure support – funding nearly 4x U.S. 100 stations by 2015 (goal) HySUT – 19 companies JHFC – funded by NEDO Residential fuel cells – >60,000 Ene-Farm units Panasonic Toshiba Aisin Seiki JX/Nippon Oil
U.S./Japan Partnerships GM – with Honda to develop a next-generation fuel cell system and hydrogen storage technologies, aiming for 2020 Bloom Energy – with SoftBank in new joint venture, installed 200 kW in Fukuoka Air Products – with Nippon Steel & Sumkin Pipeline & Engineering Co. Ltd. for hydrogen infrastructure Mesa Del Sol project – Fuji Electric demo’d fuel cell in New Mexico smart grid community, funded by NEDO
Potential Opportunities 2020 Olympics in Tokyo – FCEVs/buses for athlete, VIP transport Starting to get back into large-scale installations (Fuji, Bloom) Chiyoda – looking for large quantities of hydrogen to export to Japan Airports – Kansai project with forklifts/hydrogen Fueling station technology – metering, pressure, lower cost solutions Ene-Farm – expanding to Europe, looking for cost reduction of fuel cell, BoP Partner in Japan Micro Grid RFP?
Korea Strong FuelCell Energy – $181 million, multiyear order for 121 MW ordered by POSCO Power, 70 MW already delivered for Korea, world’s largest fuel cell park open (59 MW) Plug Power Inc.
