Cost Advantage: Storage pressure of less than 150 psi compared to 5000psi high-‐ pressure systems. The cylinder is designed to meet ISO and US DOT standards. Solves the problem of high-‐pressure equipment cost. The hydride canister system has been successfully launched in Europe and Asia in scooter programs. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RRUWjXVUlLc. The canister, and system technology has been in production for over a decade with 350,000 kilometers on scooters, CE and ISO 901 CE certified. Less Expensive Infrastructure -‐Lower Annual Cost

Bio Reforming Hydrogen Hydride -‐Renewable Hydrogen:
Hydride SOFC Backup Fuel Cell Bio Reformer Prototype
Bio Reforming addresses the four drawbacks of the NG SMR process and offers the following key advantages:
• Conversion of renewable fuels, liquid phase reformation, low-‐temperature operation

• Elimination of water gas shift, pure H2 gas creation and carbon dioxide at any scale
A doubling of the world’s energy consumption over the next 50 years will require significant changes in the way we produce, distribute, store, and use energy. A crucial step in this process will be reducing our dependency on carbon-‐based fossil fuels.
• No need for additional H2 purification processing steps • No Gas Swing Absorption [PSA] are required • Low cost of hydrogen production • Scalable up or down or down to size is appropriate for localize production
[eliminates expensive distribution] • Low temperature reaction makes materials of construction less expensive
resulting in smaller overall size and expense Back up Power Fuel Cell Power -‐: [Rugged-‐Reliable -‐Intelligent] Works in conjunction the Hydrogen Bio Fuel Reformer System A total “Packaged Power Solution” 3 in 1 Application:
• Power Generation • Power Conditioning • Emergency Backup • Hydride Hydrogen Fuel Canisters • ETI metal hydride fuel cells have been demonstrated up to 5,000 W • Integrated UPS, Fuel Cells & Power System Control
The Fuel Cell Power Pl features global outputs (120/220 VAC, 50, 60 or 400 Hz: 12, 24, 48, 72 or 125 VDC) allowing it to be deployed anywhere in the world and used with any electronic equipment. Additional hydrogen fuel canisters can provide several hours to days of continuous operation. Increasing demand for extended runtime backup power Higher power 10,000 W versions are in the works Metal hydride fuel cells can provide cost and performance advantages for extended runtime backup power Reduced CO2 footprint
