Sid, what do you think about these hydrogen goals taken from the NHA website? ttcorp.com Transportation Goals Hydrogen Vehicle Demonstration Goal By 2000, establish at least three new hydrogen vehicle demonstration projects, including local hydrogen production by small-scale steam methane reforming or small-scale electrolysis, and dispensing to service at least 10 hydrogen-powered vehicles each. Vehicles may store gaseous or liquid hydrogen, and the fuel might include mixtures of hydrogen and natural gas. At least one demonstration project will produce hydrogen from a renewable resource (solar, wind, or biomass) or from municipal solid waste (MSW). Hydrogen Bus Goals 1.By 2005, operate at least 100 hydrogen-powered buses on regularly scheduled routes. Cost goals include hydrogen-fueled ICE hybrid or fuel cell power train systems at less than US$500/kW and dispensed hydrogen costing less than US$4/kg (US$9.45/1,000 SCF) for bus refueling. 2.By 2010, 50 percent of all new buses shall be powered by hydrogen. Cost goals shall include hydrogen-fueled ICE hybrid power train or fuel cell production costs less than US$80/kW3 and delivered hydrogen costs of less than US$3/kg (US$7.09/1000 SCF), made from natural gas at US$4/MBtu (US$4.05/1,000 SCF) or from renewable resources, including municipal solid waste. Hydrogen-Fueled Passenger Vehicle Goals 1.By 2010, produce enough hydrogen to supply 50 percent of all new vehicles sold under the California Zero-Emission Vehicle (ZEV) program (including other opt-in states), on the assumption that half of these vehicles will be hydrogen-fueled.4 2.By 2015, produce enough hydrogen to supply 25 percent of all new passenger vehicles. Cost goals include hydrogen-fueled ICE hybrid power train or vehicle fuel cell systems at less than US$35/kW and delivered hydrogen at less than US$2.50/kg (US$5.91/1000 SCF) from natural gas at US$4/GJ (US$4.05/1000 SCF). Fixed Power Plant Goals Grid-Connected Goals 1.By 2002, install at least 50 MW (cumulative) of hydrogen-powered5 fuel cell electricity for distributed, grid-connected power in the world. 2.By 2015, 10 percent of all new electrical generation capacity shall be from hydrogen-powered fuel cell [cogeneration] systems. [Alternative: By 2005, hydrogen-powered fuel cells will supply 50 percent of new market “High Quality Power” applications, replacing the need for onsite “emergency” generators and UPS systems.] Remote Power Goals 1.By 2005, establish at least two remote village power demonstration projects using intermittent renewable energy sources and hydrogen to store energy. Cost goal for the energy derived from hydrogen storage shall be less than the cost of battery storage for storage periods longer than four days. 2.By 2015, install at least five megawatts of remote renewable power systems with hydrogen storage. Cost goal for hydrogen energy shall be less than the cost of battery storage for storage periods longer than two days. [Should remote power systems have higher MW goal than grid-connected, since remote power can afford higher initial costs and may be a faster growing market in the developing world?]
