1 National Hydrogen Association March 2007 Conference Hydrogen Transportation Systems in New York State

2 The Problem Global Warming Energy Security –US consumes 26% of the world’s petroleum Export of Dollars –$268 billion are exported each year US EIA Forecast for 2025 –37% increase in petroleum imports –55% increase in LNG

3 The FreedomCAR Program In $1.2 billion committed for fuel cell vehicles and infrastructure –Decide by 2015 if commercial Hydrogen - fueled internal combustion engine vehicles not considered Quantum in 2003/4 converted 30 Prius hybrid vehicles to hydrogen

4 New York State’s First Effort Proposed to New York State Power Authority –Convert internal combustion engine vehicles to hydrogen –Fuel at a dedicated fueling station associated with a motor pool –Locate in Buffalo near Niagara Falls Hydroelectricity is a renewable resource

5 NYSERDA’s First Hydrogen Solicitation New technologies are funded through NYSERDA Funds were provided for a project at the SUNY Campus at Buffalo –Two Quantum modified Prius vehicles, a fueling station and commercial source of hydrogen

6 The SUNY Buffalo Project

7 New York’s Hydrogen Road Map Most stakeholders focused on 2015/2020 AWP&H’s near term solution –Buffalo - the “Electric City” in 1900s because of Niagara Falls –Buffalo - could be the “Hydrogen City” in 21 st Century –Niagara Falls’ hydropower is a renewable resource

8 Niagara Falls Power Co. 1895

9 NYPA’S Buffalo/Niagara Falls Project Niagara Fall’s Hydropower to Hydrogen Initiative –One electrolysis facility at Buffalo’s transit operator’s maintenance depot –A second electrolysis facility at a Niagara Falls State Park site A $21 million project including buses and pickup trucks
