Fuel Cells – A Sustainable Energy Solution Tor Geir Engebretsen CEO / Nordic Power Systems
2
NPS Business Drivers Growing demand for electric power in mobile and off grid stationary applications Need for increased fuel efficiency Stronger emission restrictions Alternative fuels Higher hydrocarbon prices
3
Fuel cells – what is it all about A chemical power generator / motor Running on hydrogen Very environmental friendly Much focus from the automotive industry
4
Fuel cell technologies with a slow adaption Hydrogen a main challenge: –Infrastructure –Volume and safety –Environment / production very energy consuming –Cost
5
The NPS technology is unique: Fuel cells running on conventional fuels HT PEM fuel cell stack (Chemical processing of gas to electricity and heat) Cool Flame Reformer (Converting fuels to hydrogen reformat gas ) Diesel/ Bio – diesel / Bio oils Military diesel/ Aircraft fuels Ethanol / Other fuels System efficiency: El power: Up to 30 % El + heat: Up to 90 % 4 kW system (pre industrial prototyp) 1 kW system (target < 25 kg / 20 ltr)
6
Environment No emissions of NOx, soot / diesel particles, CO. Significant reduction of CO2 due to high efficiency Renewable when using bio fuels High efficiency Silent / no smell
7
The NPS system is the ideal power source for a variety of markets, both for mobile and stationary use, on board on demand.
8
Hoyanger, located at Sognefjorden, the worlds longest fjord Høyanger is a wide spread community, located on both sides of Sognefjorden, on the West coast of Norway.
