Power Plug installs two GenSite hydrogen generators
by Mike Adams, the Health Ranger, NaturalNews Editor
Power Plug has decided to take advantage of fuel cell technology by installing hydrogen generators that allow for electricity without creating airborne pollutants. As well, the company is partnering with American Honda Motor Co., Air Products and Chemicals, and Homeland Energy to enable them cars powered by fuel cells.
Plug Power announced today that the company intends to install two GenSite hydrogen generators under two recently awarded programs sponsored by the New York State Energy Research and Development Authority.
"Under the strong leadership of Governor Pataki, NYSERDA has been helping to advance hydrogen and fuel cell technologies, with Plug Power being a key player," said NYSERDA President Peter R. Smith.
Under the first program, Plug Power will partner with award winner American Honda Motor Co., Air Products and Chemicals, and Homeland Energy to provide the refueling infrastructure necessary for fuel cell vehicles, including two Honda FCX's recently leased by the State of New York.
The program calls for Plug Power to install a GenSite hydrogen generator at the Company's Latham location capable of directly fueling fuel cell vehicles and the Air Product's HF-150 mobile refueler which will be located at the State's Harriman Campus in Albany, NY.
According to public sources, as of Nov 2004, there were more than seventy hydrogen-refueling stations installed for hydrogen refueling projects.
As part of the second project, Plug Power will partner with Albany NanoTech a leading global center for nanotechnology research and development based at the University at Albany, SUNY to integrate a GenSite system into the existing hydrogen infrastructure.
The NanoTech Center utilises hydrogen in research and development of semiconductors and this project will enable the partners to explore the applicability of on-site hydrogen generation within the semiconductor industry while gaining critical applications knowledge at a highly visible site.
Based on Plug Power's auto thermal reforming technology, which has been proven in more than 400 field installations and two million hours of field run time, GenSite systems reduce the need for transportation and storage of hydrogen gas cylinders and tube trailers, lower the cost of supplying hydrogen gas, and provide a secure source of hydrogen on site.
