A few words about hydrogen demonstration projects…

Building an Industry Takes Years Comparison of Gasoline’s market growth with that projected for Hydrogen (NAS 2004 Study)

Role of Demonstration Projects > See what works and does not work in a controlled environment > Establish safety and reliability > Help set conformance standards > Results can influence: – – Technology Direction Policy and Funding Consumer Expectations Future commercial performance features

Zero Emissions Transportation for Texas University of Texas, Center for Electromechanics / GTI Partnership Install and operate the first hydrogen-fueled vehicle fleet in Texas anchored by a state-of-theart hydrogen fueling system.

UT-CEM / GTI Joint Program for Texas Hydrogen Fleet and Infrastructure > Technology Partners – – – University of Texas, Center for Electro. Mechanics Gas Technology Institute Green. Field Technologies (A Division of Atlas-Copco) Ebus, Inc. Mobile Energy Solutions, LLC > Funding Providers – – – Texas Commission on Environmental Quality U. S. Dept. of Transportation (Federal Transit Agency) Gas Technology Institute University of Texas State Energy Conservation Office (SECO) Center for Transportation and the Environment

Project Site University of Texas, J. J. Pickle Research Campus

Program Elements > State, Federal, University, and Private Sponsors – UT-CEM and GTI combined a federally funded clean-bus project with state-funded hydrogen vehicle project. – Strong commercialization component > Unique technical goals – Performance Testing – vehicle and infrastructure – Modeling – useful for future applications – Indoor storage and maintenance facility > Public Outreach – University site provides excellent education and outreach opportunities.

Lessons Learned (1) > Funding: – Multiple sponsers required – Each sponsor has unique requirements – More participants dramatically adds to timeline for design, testing, installation, & commissioning > Technology: – Bringing commercialization partners provides real-world “anchor” to a program – BOP represents 90% of all problems

Lessons Learned (2) > Local Issues – Get AHJ’s on board early – Safety reviews need experienced AHJ’s – Engage local contractors for site work and permitting – Frequent meetings and updates are helpful > Other: – Adverse weather is a good time to test durability – Simple is good. – Pre-engineering and testing work prior to installation is worth the effort.

Final Observations > Universities are EXCELLENT partners for demonstrating advanced energy technologies – Expertise and technicians to handle “unscheduled” maintenance – Controlled environment for designed operations – Intellectual curiosity to determine “why” – Offer solutions for technology advancement – There are some downsides: > Contracting > IP protection
