"The United States currently offer companies with innovative solutions the
best potential", says Ines Freesen, Managing Director of Freesen & Partner
GmbH. "The 1.2 billion dollar program announced by President George W.
Bush is being implemented step by step. The program's focus is on hydrogen
infrastructure, storage technologies and fuel cell applications, which
opens up an attractive market both for domestic and international
vendors."
Recently, a number of projects for groundbreaking, clean energy supply
were announced in the State of Texas. In November 2005, Gas Technology
Institute signed an agreement with the State's Commission on Environmental
Quality (TEQ) for the development of hydrogen fueling station technology.
In February 2006, scientists from the University of Texas at Austin and
RTI International released information about a new material designed for
hydrogen purification. In April 2006, Praxair announced the construction
of a hydrogen storage facility in Liberty County, TX. Fuel cell system
developer General Hydrogen plans to deliver one of their units to Houston,
TX-based Cat Lift Trucks to power a forklift. Also, the Center for Fuel
Cell Research and Application at HARC (Houston Advanced Research Center)
is engaged in a number of additional projects.
Hydrogen Expo US attendance is predicted to benefit from local Texas
industry, such as the electronics manufacturers. These companies are
interested in the integration of energy conversion via fuel cells into
their end-products. The "Portable Power and Small Fuel Cells" theme
pavilion in the exhibit hall will bring a focus to this sector and other
near-term products.
Mobility and clean, reliable hydrogen energy for residential and
commercial heat and power are further topic areas at Hydrogen Expo US.
Already now, some 40 exhibitors are signed up for the 2007 event,
including: Air Products, Ballard, BMW, BOC, Chevron, DaimlerChrysler, Fuel
Cell and Hydrogen Network North-Rhine Westfalia, Gas Technology Institute,
Honda, Hydrogen Power, Hydrogenics, Linde, Praxair, Proton Energy Systems,
Shell Hydrogen, South Carolina Hydrogen & Fuel Cell Alliance, Toyota, UTC
Power, among many others.
Companies applying for exhibit space now also have the opportunity to sign
up for a free speaking opportunity in the expo seminar forum. For further
