1 Large Scale Stationary Fuel Cell Commercialization Using Existing Hydrogen Infrastructure Louisiana Energy Summit Andrew Thomas Case Western Reserve University HydroGen Fuel Cells

2 Fuel cells generate high quality, efficient, reliable, emission-free power from hydrogen

3 Fuel cells: Status of commercialization TypeStatusRemark PAFCMarket entryOver 350 systems delivered AFCCommercialSelected applications only PEM / SPFCSemi-commercial prototypes in demonstration Mainly transportation applications MCFCPrototype commercial demonstrations Complicated systems have long learning curve SOFC [tubular]Advanced prototypes100 kW system successfully tested SOFC [planar]Initial prototype demonstration Small [1 kW] systems may go fast "We are going to take advantage of the downturn in the fuel cell market and spend more time qualifying key process technologies for the first commercialization… …We are going to remain in the pre-commercialization phase through March 2006," Ms. Forbrick said. "We have not made a decision about when we're moving into the building." Nov 8-14, 2002

4 What is the problem with PAFC?! The only fully commercial fuel cell for large stationary applications –Over 300 systems delivered (UTC, Fuji) –Excellent product has established performance, emissions benefits of fuel cells But they cost too much! –Small packaged systems (~100kW order magnitude) suffer from diseconomies of scale for the hydrogen plant UTC got out of the business (2000)… …or so everyone thought (2004)… …while Fuji has quietly been improving their technology  75,000 hour operating life achieved Both UTC and Fuji are trying to engineer the capital and life cycle costs out of their system, while staying focused on commercial cogeneration markets PAFC is the proven technology for stationary applications: The only challenge remaining is to get the cost down!

5 Cost reduction: THE issue Fuel cell system cost depends on: Simplicity of fuel cell technology Fuel processing method Size of system Incumbent fuel cell manufacturers have:  Complex fuel cells  Miniaturized, integrated fuel processing  Small systems  <1MW Another approach (HydroGen, LLC):  Simple, robust Westinghouse 400kW stack technology  Unbundled fuel processing, using mature hydrogen plant technology or existing H2 infrastructure  Large systems  3-10MW

6 HydroGen unbundled approach Byproduct hydrogen Source Phosphoric Acid Fuel Cells (PAFCs) DC/ AC inverter Hydrogen gas DC power AC power Heat Water HydroGen Fuel Cells Existing H2 infrastructure With standard multi-MW H2 plant

7 Economies of scale and serial production of standard hydrogen plant technology

8 There is a large, existing industrial hydrogen infrastructure TEXAS LOUISIANA HYDROGEN AIR SEPARATION PLANTS NITROGEN OXYGEN INDUSTRIAL AREA GALVESTON BAY GULF OF MEXICO BAYTOWN MONT BELVIEU CHANNELVIEW LAPORTE HOUSTON GALVESTON TEXAS CITY PORT ARTHUR PASADENA DEER PARK BAYPORT SULPHUR LAKE CHARLES NEDERLAND SABINE LAKE NEW ORLEANS GEISMAR BATON ROUGE 245 miles of pipeline serving 50 major customers BEAUMONT

9 Value proposition of the unbundled approach in multi-MW systems Cost: Economies-of-scale of mature hydrogen plant technology, and large niche applications with no fuel processing –Capital cost reductions –Fuel can be low opportunity cost in certain locations –Multi-MW approach also gets you on fast path to volume production of the fuel cell stacks! Reliability and low technical risk: A 10MW system has 25*400kW generators – redundancy offers system reliability even in market introduction –Use of standard H2 plant technology eliminates technical risk for a major component of the fuel cell power plant

10 The Gulf Coast market opportunity – emissions driver Multiple non-attainment areas State Implementation Plans (SIPs) call for significant NOx emission reductions (in HGA, approximately 70% of the projected 2007 inventory; 90+% for point sources) HGA SIP also calls for VOC emission reductions (approximately 25% of the projected 2007 inventory)

11 The Gulf Coast business case Available hydrogen is well over 250MW – enough to support market penetration at very high production volume (at least for fuel cells!) Delivered electricity costs for zero-NOx, zero- VOC, etc. power are “very cheap” Very attractive generation cost for utilities and chemical companies who must reduce NOx under the SIP

12 Delivered energy costs $0.039$0.042$0.11 Net electricity cost Capital = $1500/kW Natural gas = $4.50/MMBtu Spreadsheet available upon request
