Diese Technologie ist langfristig Zukunbftsweisend für Automobiler. Die Lobbyisten müssen erst noch gefunden werden. Vielleicht schafft es ja Mr. A. Schwarzenegger wenn er Präsident wird. Dies ist in USA gut möglich, da Erfahrung im Showgeschäft oberste Priorität ist. In Deutschland könnte das Erbe Merkel ja vielleicht von Herrn Gottschalk mit seiner Bärenfraktion übernommen werden.

MHT. Hy9 Corp, a producer of membrane and fuel processing systems, is to provide membrane technology for ExxonMobil’s on-board fuel cell reformer project.


Exxon Mobil Corporation is partnering with QuestAir Technologies, Plug Power Inc. and Ben Gurion University with plans to commercialise an on-vehicle hydrogen production system for use in a fuel cell-powered lift truck application.


While the initial work may only be carried out on forklifts, it may have far-reaching consequences as the partners seek to bring such technology to passenger vehicles.


Plug Power will seek to commercialise technologies developed by ExxonMobil, QuestAir Technologies and Ben Gurion University that take liquid fuels, such as gasoline, diesel, ethanol or biodiesel, and convert them into hydrogen onboard the vehicle.


The on-vehicle hydrogen fuel system comprises of an advanced reformer developed by ExxonMobil and hydrogen separation, using QuestAir Technologies’ Rapid Cycle Pressure Swing Adsorption system. Sulphur is controlled by an ExxonMobil proprietary S-Trap, developed in conjunction with Ben Gurion University.


Dr. Emil Jacobs, Vice President of R&D at Exxon-Mobil Research and Engineering, is believed to have suggested that onboard reforming in passenger vehicles could be 80% more fuel efficient than current engine technologies, and cut CO2 emissions by 45%.

PLUG 1.23, +0.08, +7.0%) announced today that Central Grocers, Inc. has purchased 220 GenDrive(tm) fuel cell units to power the entire lift truck fleet at their new distribution center. The center is currently under construction in Joliet, Illinois, and is expected to be operational by the end of the first quarter of 2009.
Central Grocers chose the hydrogen fuel cell power units, rather than traditional lead-acid batteries, for a new fleet of Yale lift trucks. By using Plug Power's GenDrive fuel cells, Central Grocers expects enhanced productivity within its distribution center. Powering the entire lift truck fleet with GenDrive will eliminate the need to invest in a battery charging and changing infrastructure, reducing operational costs and opening up valuable floor space for the distribution business. The use of fuel cells also reduces the carbon footprint of the distribution center and removes the storage and handling of toxic materials associated with the use of lead-acid batteries from the workplace.
"Central Grocers represents the first greenfield site to incorporate our GenDrive solution into its operations. Greenfield sites offer the potential for the greatest financial and operational benefits to our customers by eliminating the need for capital investments in batteries and the associated chargers, storage and changing systems," said Andy Marsh, CEO of Plug Power. "This purchase also helps Central Grocers green their supply chain as well as their business operations."
The GenDrive units will be fueled by compressed hydrogen gas, which is converted from liquid hydrogen. The units are fueled by the lift truck operator at a conveniently located dispenser, much like fueling an automobile. Air Products (APD:Air Products and Chemicals, Inc

APD 53.49, +0.60, +1.1%) will supply both the liquid hydrogen storage compression system as well as multiple indoor fueling dispensers. GenDrive can be quickly refueled by the lift truck operator in less than two minutes. This completely eliminates the need to change, store, charge and maintain multiple lead-acid batteries per lift truck.
Yale Equipment Services, located in Rosemont, Illinois, will service both the lift trucks and GenDrive fuel cell units. The Yale lift trucks provide unique features such as regenerative lift and lower on stand-up units to improve energy efficiency and power steering on pallet trucks to enhance operator productivity.

{"s" : "plug","k" : "c10,l10,p20,t10","o" : "","j" : ""} The Company has adjusted the first two of its 2009 milestones to reflect activities and progress in realizing opportunities for its GenSys(r) product to support power needs in the Indian telecommunications industry. The revised milestones are:



* Secure 1,000 orders consisting of both GenDrive(tm) and GenSys fuel
  cell units (previously stated: secure 500 unit orders)
* Contain net cash used for operating expenses to the range of $38-42
  million for the full year (previously stated range: $33-37 million)
* Release GenDrive class 2 product in the fourth quarter, broadening
  the GenDrive product portfolio
* Announce path and timeline to profitability in the fourth quarter

``The first quarter of 2009 was an important transitional period for our Company as we continued to drive fuel cells toward commercialization,'' said Andy Marsh, Plug Power's CEO. ``It was exciting to see so many of the purchase orders collected in 2008 come to fruition as GenDrive units were put to use across North America.''

During the first quarter of 2009, Plug Power shipped 186 GenDrive units as customers across the country adopted fuel cell power units into their operations. Most notably, 140 class 3 GenDrive fuel cell units were shipped to Central Grocers for the grand opening of its state-of-the-art facility. Operators at the $90 million Central Grocers facility will handle all goods with hydrogen fuel cell powered lift trucks.

``Plug Power recognizes that there are multiple solutions to meet customer energy needs, and we also recognize the places where fuel cells are the best option,'' Marsh continued. ``Plug Power has been a leader in the fuel cell industry for over a decade and our reliable products for the material handling, prime and residential power markets will allow us to continue to drive commercialization.''

Financial Results

Revenue for the first quarter of 2009 was $2.6 million. This compares with revenue in the same period of 2008 of $3.7 million.

Net loss for the first quarter of 2009 was $8.2 million, or $0.06 per share on a basic and diluted basis. This compares with a net loss of $20.7 million, or $0.24 per share, for the first quarter of 2008.

Product Orders, Shipments and Backlog

Total (GenDrive, GenSys and GenCore(r)) product shipments in the first quarter were 198 units. Total product backlog at March 31, 2009, was 284 units. As noted in the milestone update, the Company has adjusted its expectation upward to 1,000 unit orders and remains committed to meeting this by year end.

Revenue

Product and service revenue was $1.3 million for the first quarter of 2009, and research and development (R&D) contract work also contributed $1.3 million to the quarter's revenue total. These amounts compare to $0.9 million of product and service revenue and $2.9 million of R&D contract revenue for the first quarter of 2008.

Deferred product and service revenue at March 31, 2009 was $4.5 million. This compares to $3.7 million at March 31, 2008. Plug Power defers recognition of product and service revenue and recognizes revenue on a straight-line basis over the service period of each sold system. Accordingly, Plug Power expects to recognize the deferred product and service revenue over future periods as service commitments are fulfilled.

Operational Results

Total cost of revenue for the first quarter of 2009 was $2.7 million, comprised of $0.5 million for product and service cost of revenue and $2.2 million for R&D contract cost of revenue. This compares to total cost of revenue of $6.6 million in the first quarter of 2008, which was comprised of $1.6 million of costs of product and service revenue and $5.0 million of cost of R&D contract revenue.

R&D expenses for the first quarter of 2009 were $4.5 million compared with $10.0 million for the first quarter of 2008.

Selling, general and administrative (SG&A) expenses were $3.2 million for the first quarter of 2009 compared with $6.5 million for the same period in 2008.

Cash and Liquidity

Net cash used in operating activities for the first quarter of 2009 was $12.8 million. On March 31, 2009, Plug Power had cash, cash equivalents and available-for-sale securities of $88.7 million and net working capital of $80.7 million, compared with $146.8 million and $145.5 million, respectively, at March 31, 2008.

Conference Call

Plug Power has scheduled a conference call today at 10:00 am ET to review the Company's results for the first quarter of 2009. Interested parties are invited to listen to the conference call by calling 877.407.8291, or 201.689.8345 for international participants.
