Nice find Jr., Enbridge updated their web site recently it looks like they're expanding their GLE residential fuel cell market to Quebec, New Brunswick, Alberta, in addition to Ontario. ... New Business: Fuel Cells Enbridge established a strategic alliance with Global Thermoelectric Inc. in July 2000 to develop and distribute natural-gas-fueled fuel cell products suitable for the supply of electric power and heating to individual residential homes. Fuel cells are an evolving new technology capable of transforming certain fuel sources directly into electric power and heat with high efficiency and reduced emission of greenhouse gases. Under terms of the alliance, Enbridge has invested Cdn$25 million in Global to fund further technology, design and product development work required to reach a commercial launch of the residential units. Enbridge will provide commercial input into the product design and development phase with respect to the residential market, and will have exclusive distribution rights for the resulting products for all of Canada. Global will retain control over the development process and will own the technology, designs, patents and trademarks. Global's solid oxide fuel cell (SOFC) technology operates very effectively when fueled with natural gas and therefore complements Enbridge's increasing focus on natural gas delivery and services. The additional gas required to supply residential fuel cells will directly benefit Enbridge's gas distribution businesses in Ontario, Quebec and New Brunswick, and the company's affiliates in Quebec and Alberta, through increased efficiency from higher volume. It also will benefit the company's gas gathering and processing and pipeline investments. In addition, fuel cells as a product will be a significant opportunity for Enbridge's home services business for growth in sales, installation and servicing revenue from exclusive distribution rights throughout Canada. enbridge.com ... original link to Enbridge report Global Thermoelectric's updated their trade show, conference web page, ufortunately I couldn't get the links to work directly so here's the SOFC 7 Japan schedule and link if anyone is interested ...
