1 Power-to-Gas Presentation to the Department of Defense Panel Asia Pacific Clean Energy Summit, Hawaii August 13, 2012 Rob Harvey Director, Energy Storage 1

2 DoD s Path Forward for Energy Overall Targets 2013 Increase use of renewables by 7.5% 2020 Achieve 30% reduction in petroleum in non-tactical vehicles % of total electricity from RE sources Department of Navy % of total energy consumption from alternative sources 50% of bases NetZero Energy installations Similar targets for Army, Air Force and Reserves Need Power-to-Gas to Reach Targets 2

3 Only grid-scale energy storage can accomodate the capacity of renewable generation needed to meet even DoD s short-term RE energy use targets Integrating Renewables Weeks Scale Energy Storage Needs Hours Cycling Thermal DR Grid-Scale Energy Storage Minutes Seconds Response Source: GM presentation, Freese, May 13, 09 3

4 What is Power-to-Gas? Power-to-Gas Solution Integrate Renewables Shift Power A Store & Transport Energy Integrates renewable generation while helping to stabilize the grid Uses surplus power to produce hydrogen using electrolyzers Stores and transports energy using the existing natural gas system 4

5 Power-to-Gas bridges the power, gas and transport fuel networks to unlock new options for energy storage Grid Scale Power-to-Gas Integrate Renewables Power Network Shift Power H2 Fueling Store & Transport Energy CO₂ FCEV or CNG Vehicle Power Methanation Process (optional) Synthetic NG CNG Fueling Dispatchable Load 1 Hydrogen 2 3 H2 CH4 Natural Gas System Electrolyzer 5

6 Power-to-Gas Value Proposition Benefits of Power-to-Gas Integrate Renewables Shift Power A Store & Transport Energy Unparalleled storage capacity (TWh) to handle 25% RE use targets Rapid, dynamic dispatch response Flexible deployment where you need it Uses proven electrolyzer technology Produces green hydrogen Scalable solution Energy storage for H2 or Synthetic NG already exists Can help meet petroleum reduction targets by CNG vehicles and/or FCEVs 6

19 Remote Community Energy Storage Applications HySTAT -A Hydrogen Station at Ramea Island, Nfld. PROBLEM STATEMENT Cost and storage issues associated with intermittent/ renewable energy generation OUR SOLUTION Wind-hydrogen advanced power system Combine wind turbines with hydrogen generation to maximum contribution by the intermittent wind resources Provided continuous high quality power BENEFITS Excess wind power is stored and used when needed Option of turning off diesel generators when demand is low Can run solely on wind and hydrogen 19
