25 June 2012 - Germany is spending more than 40 million Euros to build a network of filling stations for hydrogen and fuel cell cars. The network is to be completed by 2015, when hydrogen and fuel cell cars are expected to be widely available. 

The 5th European PEFC & H2 Forum is the 19th Conference in the Series to include an Exhibition & Demonstration Area. Since 2011 EFCF has been fully dedicated to these subjects and fosters them exclusively to be able to claim that after 2013 to be the leading European meeting place. 

TOPICS:

- HYDROGEN FUEL CELLS like PEFC, HTPEM, AFC, PAFC
- DIRECT ALCOHOL FUEL CELLS like DMFC
- MICROBIAL FUEL CELLS
- HYDROGEN Sustainable PRODUCTION, STORAGE & INFRASTRUCTURE

VENUE

30 June – 3 July 2015
Kultur- und Kongresszentrum Luzern KKL
Lucerne, Switzerland

CONFERENCE INFORMATION

The 5th EUROPEAN PEFC & H2 FORUM will be a highlight of the year for those involved with HYDROGEN FUEL CELLS (H2FC like PEFC, HTPEM, AFC, PAFC,…), DIRECT ALCOHOL FUEL CELLS (DAFC like DMFC) and for the first time also MICROBIAL FUEL CELLS (MBFC). HYDROGEN production, storage & infrastructure (H2PSI) are also fully included. In 2013, the EUROPEAN PEFC&H2 FORUM was Europe’s largest event dedicated to these H2FC, DAFC and H2PSI topics exclusively and has evolved to the leading European meeting place.

The Topics of science, engineering, materials, systems, testing, applications and markets will range from:

• FC catalysts – FC membranes & other components
• Characterization of FC materials
• Durability and degradation mitigation strategies
• FC diagnostics & modelling
• Stack and system integration, operation strategies
• H2 production with emphasis on electrolysis techniques, e.g. PEM and alkaline
• H2 storage material and systems including theory and modelling
• H2 infrastructure and demo sites systems, operation and costs
• Fuel processing and hydrogen purification
• FC power trains and vehicles
• Portable applications and early markets
• Combined heat and power
• Major regional & company developments
• Demonstration and deployment – success stories
• Assessment, applicability & education

The venue is once again the attractive "Kultur- und Kongresszentrum Luzern" - KKL on the waterfront of the charming Lake Lucerne in the heart of Switzerland.

Mercedes-Benz already offers a zero-emission fuel cell B-Class compact, called the F-Cell, that is already available for leasing in Germany and in California. The Honda FCX Clarity fuel cell sedan also is available for leasing in California. The FCX Clarity won the Green Car of the Year Award in 2009.

The 5th EUROPEAN PEFC & H2 FORUM CONSISTS OF:

> a Fuel Cell and Hydrogen TUTORIAL on Tuesday, June 30th,

> two parallel Lecture Series from Wednesday, July 1rd to Friday, July 3th and

> a Fuel Cell EXHIBITION open from 4pm Tuesday to 12pm Friday.

FUEL CELL STORE

Fuel Cell Store features some of the newest products and technologies from renowned international vendors in educational, science, or leisure applications. Founded in Boulder, Colorado in 1999, Fuel Cell Store is a pioneer of and the longest operating retail site of the fuel cell industry. They offer a diverse and expansive fuel cell and renewable energy product line on the web, including products catering to educational, research and testing, and industrial applications. 

FCS CONTACTS

Fuel Cell Store
1902 Pinon Drive, Suite B
College Station, Texas 77845

Monday - Friday: 8:00am to 5:00pm  (GMT: -6 Hours)

USA Telephone: +1 (855) 251-0016
International Telephone: +1 (979) 703-1925 

A 5kW PEM stack from Horizon, is available from the Fuel Cell Store via the internet. It operates at 72 volts and weighs 32.5kg all in at a retail cost of £22,000 dollars. Such a system cannot begin to compete cost wise with lithium batteries. An EV would need at least 10kW, and that is with batteries to cope with acceleration demands. A 20kW/hr lithium battery cartridge would cost in the region of $15-20,000, including controllers and mechanics.

PATENT SYSTEM - The Ecostar DC50 hydrogen car on the drawing board @BMS. Using hydrogen fuel instead of lithium batteries, could give this electric car a significant range advantage over the Tesla S EV for the Cannonball Jogle. At the moment the Bluebird™ cartridge system is the only way a car can swap between technologies as the flick of a switch. BMS are looking at methods of implementing hydrogen refueling in their designs for service stations of the future. One obvious disadvantage with hydrogen cars, is that they cannot store energy collected from sunlight.
