6 Fuel cell drive concept What is the motivation for LMH? Unique energy efficiency concept Advantages Very high level of efficiency The only waste product is pure water Fuel cells work cleanly and quietly We have developed practical solutions together with experienced partners Hydrogen generation with regenerative energies offers an excellent ecological balance Renewable energy Fermentation, conversion into gas Water Compression/liquefication 03/05/2012 / 6

7 Anode Cathode Fuel cell drive concept High level of efficiency with zero emissions What is a fuel cell? The chemical element hydrogen (H2) is used as the fuel Fuel cells consist of two electrodes that are supplied with hydrogen and oxygen Electrical energy is released by splitting hydrogen molecules The generated electricity powers an electric motor The only waste product is pure water Electric motor Electrolyte (membrane) 1 Water supply 3 Excess water 2 Oxygen supply 4 Electric motor 03/05/2012 / 7
