Bob, the most recent indication from Ballard re portable fuel cells is that, given widespread interest in portable fuel cells from a variety of manufacturers, the company wishes to avoid limiting its relationship to one or a few manufacturers through a narrow partnership. Instead they are going to throw the door open to anyone who wishes to buy the fuel cells from them and incorporate them into their own products, from portable generators to leaf blowers to lawn mowers. The markets are limitless at this point. One thing I've learned is that lawn mowers contribute significantly to air pollution. I understand we could soon see some prototype products of this type. Regards

from hyweb.de Shell goes into hydrogen business HyWeb, 99-01-19: The Royal Dutch/Shell group will invest in the development of hydrogen technologies in order to secure a leading position in the hydrogen business. In the course of this year, a new company will be founded that will work exclusively on hydrogen. Also Deutsche Shell AG, the German branch of the group, will be active in this area. The first activity is the cooperation in the project WEIT - Hydrogen Energy Iceland Transfer (Wasserstoff-Energie Island Transfer). In this framework, Europe's first public hydrogen filling station has been inaugurated just recently (HyWeb, 99-01-19). The Shell group will be active in the areas of hydrogen production and application technologies as well as in the development of a hydrogen supply infrastructure in order to help hydrogen find its equal place among the conventional energies. One activity mentioned in a recent Shell press release is the development of graphite nanofiber and other hydrogen storage technologies. Fritz Vahrenholt, member of the board of Deutsche Shell, proposed already in November to put a "solar Pfennig" on fossil energies in order to foster the introduction of renewable energies. According to a Shell scenario, 50% of world energy consumption will be from renewable sources around 2050, half of which will be stored in the form of hydrogen and transported to the end of user.
