Still on Probation or Ready for Take-Off ?• Fuel Cells technology using Hydrogen or another energy carrier has

been on worldwide probation for the last 30 years…• Billions of US $ – both from Private finance and Government funds -

have already been invested • Adoption was announced several times

but often postponed…• Critical Issues:

– How long will it take to be commercial?– Will H2/FC be on probation for another 30 years?

Not Technical Possibilities but Consumer Demand

• The future of an Hydrogen economy will not be dependent on the replacement of existing energy-powered products, but rather in products and/or services unknown today which will benefit our daily life tomorrow…

• Because of the “added value” benefits of thesenew products and/or services, this development is going to happen…

…sooner than many “experts” are thinking today!

Actual Worldwide Hydrogen Production (2000)

The coming Hydrogen Economy can only be realised with Hydrogen produced from

Flow of Hydrogen from Argentina to supply the world

Go to Where the Market is! Future Hydrogen produced from Renewable Energies

-Electrolysis: splitting water into hydrogen and oxygen with the help of electricity which should be produced by renewable primary energies such as wind power, solar energy, hydro power

-Biomass Reforming: a way of producing hydrogen from renewable energy without using electricity but gasification of biomass and steam reforming

-Photo electrolysis: uses sunlight to split water directly combining a PV cell with an electrolyser; incl.photo biological, photo

electrochemical and photochemical processes

Hydrogen can be implemented as a storage or leveling technology for Renewable Energies
