    companies to: developHICE vehicles, engage in

    R & D partnerships, andestablish a H2infrastructure

    Funded research into

    Problems H2 policy should address:

    Consumer access to a H2/ LH2

    infrastructure (centralized ordecentralized)

    Government investment into HICE

    vehicle development

    Government funding for H2 production

    Establishment of uniform safety rules for

    CONCLUSIONS HICEs are a viable alternative for bridging

    the gap to the H2 fuel cell economy

    HICEs may be a viable long-term

    possibility as the ICE has undergone 100years of refinement

    To lessen greenhouse gases and foreign oil

    dependence, the government shouldencourage the transition to the H2 economy

    with large investments in R&D, subsidies

    and tax incentives, and CAA amendments

    How HICEs Work

    2H2+02= 2H20 + heat H behaves like octane

    Compressed H2 takes

    up more room than gas

    Unlike gas, which needs

    strict air-fuel ratio More explosive than

    gas, timing critical

    H2 at higher temp./pressures

    Heat released whenH2 absorbed, sameheat required to

    release H2

    D-B used radiator heatto de-bond H2 but

    Toyota*, Mercedes, D-B experimented with

    The Musashi

    Institute ofTechnology has also

    investigated this

    Requires an

    extremely

    pressurized tank to

    keep the LH2 in

    liquid form

    Other Possible Storage Methods: CARBON-BASED FUEL EXTRACTION:

    depending on the availability of H2/ LH2,for both HICEs and FC vehicles, the

    onboard production of hydrogen is a

    possibility, from carbon-based fuels

    NANOTECHNOLOGY:graphite nanofiber

    tubes store 65% H2 by weight.

    -DOE funded, then withdrew-Ford continued the R&D

    -GM later questioned the 65%

    Making H2 from Natural Gas

    Stripping H2 from natural gas is

    called reforming

    Reforming natural gas emits CO2

    Outfitting a gas station with a machine

    to reform natural gas would cost$400,000 (building a conventional gas

    Challenges facing HICEs:

    To reduce Nox, the air/fuel ratiocan be increased, reducing poweroutput to half a gasoline engines

    To compensate for lost power,HICE engines are usually larger orhave superchargers

    parked indoors Stringent, universal safety regulations are

    almost no pollutantsand are 25% morefuel efficient than gas

    ICEs H2/ CH4 mixed fuel

    emits extremely lowNOx

    DISADVANTAGES:

    NOx emissions = that of

    gas, can be lessened with

    additional control

    equipment

    Even without after-

    Barriers to Commercial Availability H2/ LH2 infrastructure needed Low cost H2 production needed

    Economics of H2 cars are ill-defined

    ICE-HICE conversion availability

    Like current vehicles, H2/LH2vehicle designs will likely vary

    Lack of uniform regulations of H2

    Commercial HICE Availability Shell: marathon, not a sprint, and the race has

    just begun,H2 fuel network by 2030-2050.Others estimate 10-50 years to the H2 economy

    BMWs HICE cars are available today

    John C. Anderson, Pres. & CEO of AFS says:(1) the existing ICE infrastructure

    (2) the demand for clean emissions; &

    (3) H2s flammability characteristicsmake H2 the ultimate low cost fuelwhich,

    when widely available, can be adapted to

    conventional autos and diesel engine vehicles

    ARE FUEL CELLS BETTER? Fuel cells are more

    efficient than HICEsbut less efficient whenoperated on methane

    Barriers exist to FCs asdual fuel vehicles, andthus may be less

    feasible than HICEs inthe near future unlessH2 onboard conversionmaterializes

    FCs cars are the

    best for zeroemissions

    FC cars average 60more mpg than

    BMWs HICEs

    FCs cars are far

    more costly than

    HICE vehicles

    THE EU IS DOING MORE

    March 2003 DOE-EU joint effort

    EU: 20% alternate energy fuelsources by 2020, plans to develop

    H2 tech while sharply tighteningfuel efficiency standards

    California Fuel Cell Partnership

    California Fuel Cell Partnership Corporate members have 6 H2

    stations; at least 8 H2 filling

    stations in southern California 12 more planned

    The partnership has cut the

    number of H2 vehicles it plansto require car companies toproduce

    Centrally Fueled Fleet Program (CFFP)

    H2 is a CAA CleanFuel

    The CFFP applies tostates with serious or

    worse O3 non-attainment

    Requires fleets to use a% of clean fuel vehicles

    Not vigorously

    enforced; voluntary

    as of 1995

    EPA of 1992: CFV

    purchase incentives

    for public/private

    fleets & incentives for

    fuel suppliers

    CAA California Pilot Program (CPP) Increases CFV availability

    (requires 300,000 yearly) Credit program (excess

    CFVs or buy credits)

    SIP mandates sufficient

    clean fuels be produced,

    distributed by fuel

    suppliers (profit incentive)

    CARBs LEV programdiffersclean fuels must be

    available, not produced

    Serious/ worse O3 non-

    attainment states may

    opt in

    Opt-in states cannotmandate CFV sales or

    alternate fuel production

    and availability

    (incentives instead)

    H2/LH2 INFRASTRUCTURE

    Centralized or

    decentralized?

    Assuming a centralized

    infrastructure, oil

    companies estimatethat consumer interest

    depends on a new fuel

    being available at 30%of gas stations

    180,000 gas station in

    the U.S

    Centralized Distribution

    Centralized Distribution Infrastructure cost: $100 billion+

    H2 storage (or stainless steel tanks for convertiblemethanol), manufacturing tankers

    Exxon-Mobil: the verdict is still out on whether H2 willever become a mainstream fuel

    Predicted route of development: Centrally fueled fleets

    Dispersed locations

    Gas stations conversion

    Rate regulation? Local variation by

    optimal source

    Decentralized H2 Infrastructure Retrofitting CH4 pipelines favors

    centralization; long term localizedproduction will favor decentralization

    Honda & GM are discussing bypassing

    gas stations in favor of letting consumersbuy/ lease home H2-fueling machines

    For consumers, the ability to refuel at

    home may justify higher fuel costs Some advocate onboard stripping of H2

    from carbon fuel to avoid H2 transition

    difficulties

    Conclusions Regulatory mandates;

    CFFP, CPP nationally? Tax incentives,

    subsidies for HICE

    R&D,investment Incentives and

    regulatory

    mandates to
