12 13 offering is a great opportunity to test the latest fuel cell vehicles that are on the market around the world today and to learn more about them. These vehicles offer quick fill-ups in three-five minutes, they average about 265 miles to 366 miles on a fill up and like any electric vehicle have good torque, quiet drive and zero emissions.” “H2+FC North America offers a terrific opportu- nity to demonstrate and to learn from the auto- mobile makers who are involved and committed to fuel cell technology,” adds Keith. LARGEST PRESENTATION OF ELECTROLYZERS IN NORTH AMERICA Many of the electrolyzer technology firms at- tending H2+FC North America have exhibited at the Hydrogen + Fuel Cells show in Hannover and are excited about bringing their innovations to Solar Power International in September. “H2+FC North America is a great fit for ITM Power as we have a subsidiary in California.When we heard the same organizers as the show in Hannover are hosting the trade show in the U.S., we knew we wanted to exhibit,” says Steve Jones, Managing Director of ITM Power. ITM Power will be launching a series of large scale refueling station designs at H2+FC North America, includ- ing its new refueling station with capability to produce up to 20 tonnes of hydrogen per day and refueling systems for heavy duty vehicles and port applications. “In our business, the key thing at the moment is scale. The technology is mature and ready for scale, but we need to see real world projects OPENING LINES being deployed that demonstrate the value of the technology. Fuel cell vehicles are being deployed for passenger vehicles, trucks, trains and vessels and these industries require large volumes of hydrogen at low cost, which is ITM Power’s focus,” adds Steve. ITM Power will be discussing green hydro- gen production linked to solar and wind power and how this can be an economic alternative to gasoline or diesel or hydrogen fuel derived from fossil fuel sources, such as natural gas. Hydrogenics, a hydrogen technology com- pany that has been exhibiting at the show in Hannover for more than 20 years, will also be exhibiting on the floor of H2+FC North Ameri- can. “Due to the increased interest in hydrogen technology across North America, H2+FC North America is a great opportunity for Hydrogenics to continue to showcase its leadership in this market,” says Daryl Wilson, President & CEO of Hydrogenics Corporation. Hydrogenics’ solutions are based on two main platforms, fuel cells for power and elec- trolyzers for onsite hydrogen generation and storage. Hydrogenics’ HyPM™ fuel cell power modules apply hydrogen as a power source for everything from heavy duty mobility including buses, trains, planes and commercial fleets to backup, stationary and continuous power. The company is the leading supplier of PEM and alkaline electrolyzers for on-site and on-de- mand renewable hydrogen production, fueling stations and Power-to-Gas energy storage systems. One of the key initiatives in the hydrogen and fuel cells industry is that government and industries are focused on reducing their carbon emissions. Adds Daryl, “On the fuel cell side, we
