2 Fuel Cells Are Part of All-of-the-Above Energy Strategy We ve got to invest in a serious, sustained, all-of-theabove energy strategy that develops every resource available for the 21st century. President Barack Obama President s Climate Action Plan Released June 2013 Plan to cut carbon pollution and combat global climate change. "Fuel cells are an important part of our energy portfolio deployments in early markets are helping to drive innovations in fuel cell technologies across multiple applications." - Dr. David Danielson Assistant Secretary for Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy, Fuel Cell Technologies Office eere.energy.gov

3 All-of-the Above Strategic Benefit: Reduced Well-to-Wheels Petroleum Use Analysis by Argonne National Lab, National Renewable Energy Lab and EERE (Vehicles, Fuel Cells, & Bioenergy Technologies Offices) shows benefits from a portfolio of options Updated, peerreviewed analysis (EERE multi-office coordination) BEVs and FCEVs provide the greatest reductions in petroleum use.

9 DOE Leveraging Activities Effort: Hawai i Hydrogen Initiative (H 2 I) A public/ private effort that seeks to be a major component of the solution to Hawaii s energy challenges Letter of Understanding signed on Dec 8, 2010 by DOE and DOD, among others State of Hawaii, the Hawaii Gas Company, University of Hawaii, General Motors, Fuel Cell Energy, and others Mission is to fill a strategic role that supports Hawaii s transformation to a clean energy economy Part of a portfolio approach of technologies and fuels for reducing emissions and petroleum use Supports the deployment of fuel cell vehicles to Hawaii as a means of reducing petroleum consumption as well as green house gas emissions Takes advantage of the existing gas pipelines to deliver hydrogen for dispensing hydrogen to fuel cell vehicles 9 Fuel Cell Technologies Office eere.energy.gov

10 Activities to Support Launch of FCEVs and H2 Fueling Infrastructure Pursuing strategic interagency approaches to leverage public sector support and help catalyze early markets for fuel cells and hydrogen infrastructure. Hawaii Early Market Roadmapping Lift Trucks Key actions: Demos of various motive fuel cell technologies Leverage activities to maximize impact with federal agencies, states, municipalities and private industry example: focus government fleets as customers of FCEVs Conduct key analysis to guide RD&D and path forward Continue path to commercialization: strengthen hydrogen and fuel cell motive technologies 10 Fuel Cell Technologies Office eere.energy.gov

11 DOE Leveraging Activities Effort: Forming H2USA Mission: To promote the commercial introduction and widespread adoption of FCEVs across America through creation of a public-private partnership to overcome the hurdle of establishing hydrogen infrastructure. Current partners include (additional in process): 11 Fuel Cell Technologies Office eere.energy.gov

12 Key Early Market Challenges for FCEVs and H2 Infrastructure Station Cost Reduction - Fueling resources & delivery - State and local regulations Station Locations - Identify and prioritize markets - Regulatory barriers (zoning) - Station rollout timing Investment and Finance - Private sector financing - Government support Market Support and Acceleration - Product launch and timeline - Codes and standards (non-vehicle related) - Public education Photo Credits Top: NREL, Middle: NREL, Bottom: Hexagon Lincoln 12 Fuel Cell Technologies Office eere.energy.gov
