✦ Synopsis
Japanese order for Hydrogenics' HyPM
Canadian-based Hydrogenics has recently supplied a major -but unidentified -Japanese corporation with a 10 kWe HyPM fuel cell power module, as well as a newly developed fuel cell power module diagnostic stand.
Hydrogenics delivered a HyPM 10 power module specially designed to run in combination with the customer's proprietary reformer technology. The system is being installed and operated at the customer's site, and serviced locally through Hydrogenics' Tokyo office.
'Working with this important client, one of Japan's largest corporations, is an important step into this market for Hydrogenics,' says Pierre Rivard, president/CEO. 'By developing a clean power generation system around a reformer, we hope to increase the number of potential fuel sources, which will expand our opportunities to work with companies in the oil and gas industry.' New education effort for hydrogen power US energy secretary Spencer Abraham has announced a series of workshops to educate state and local government officials on the promise and challenges of a hydrogen economy. The workshops will take place in six cities across the nation, and started in Lansing, Michigan in March. Working with regional, state and local partners, DOE will offer 'Hydrogen 101' to state and local officials with no technical background, but who are interested in learning more about hydrogen and fuel cell technologies, hydrogen safety and the challenges to achieving the hydrogen vision.
After Lansing the workshop will go to Austin, Texas and then four major cities in the Northeast, Mid-Atlantic, Southeast and West through the summer. The workshops are a cornerstone of DOE's public education strategy for hydrogen, as recommended in President Bush's National Energy Policy.
