Hydrogen and Fuel Cells at
the Hannover Fair 2002
With full power to the future
Fuel Cells are the solution for new stationary
and mobile energy supplies. Hydrogen belongs the future.
At the Hannover Fair 2002, 15-20 April, the leading
manufacturers and suppliers worldwide display the current
state of an up and coming industrial sector on the joint
stand "Hydrogen+Fuel Cells" (Hall 13, Stand
F68). Over an area of 3,000 square metres the visitors
to the fair can see commercially viable products for
clean, quiet and economic energy production. One theme:
the mini power station. It supplies power to mobile
telephones, notebooks and cameras. Larger modules drive
vehicles and supply buildings.
Nothing runs without energy, neither
car nor heating or notebook. The worldwide consumption
of energy is increasing permanently. Instead of transporting
the energy thousands of kilometres, it can be produced
where it is needed. That is what the Fuel Cell technology
is capable of: the mini power station provides energy
and heating at home, the driving power in the car and
hundreds of other appliances. When Hydrogen and Oxygen
meet in the Fuel Cell usable energy is set free. Water
is the only residue. The drive has a much better degree
of effectiveness than conventional engines.
Mobile, portable, and stationary is the solution for
the generation of energy. Exhibitors from ten countries
present at the Group Exhibit "Hydrogen + FuelCells"
at the Hannover Fair in Hall13, Stand F68, what already
is economical today.
International leading manufacturers such as Ballard
Power Systems from Canada, The Japan Steel Works, BMW,
DaimlerChrysler Fuel Cell Project, General Motors with
Adam Opel AG, Vaillant and Sulzer Hexis AG from Switzerland
show progress with applications involving cars, buildings
and portable equipment. Global companies such as the
American Chemical Concerns DuPont, and W.L. Gore are
participating already the second time at the Hannover
Fair. Through the interlinks everybody profits from
being part of the Group Exhibit.
The trend here is also towards miniaturisation. Energy
for mobile devices such as mobile telephones, notebooks
and radios, which permanently require an autonomous,
reliable, emission-free and fluctuation-free, payable
power supply. A webcam continuously transmits to the
Internet interviews with experts from the world of business,
politics and science from both forums at the joint stand
(www.hydrogenambassadors.com). It is powered with Fuel Cells.
One advantage of the Fuel Cell; in the future it will
be decentralized charged with all kinds of regenerative
energies, like solar, wind, biomasses or water. That
brings independence of the decreasing supply of oil
and other fossil fuels. Hydrogen plays a lead role because
with Hydrogen powered consumers are environmentally
friendly, quiet, and cost reducing.
This worldwide unique fair within a fair, organised
by Arno A. Evers FAIR PR from Starnberg, Germany, with
the integration of all participants - from the research
to the application, from the prototype to the customer
service, from the everyday usage to the finance - proves
the commercial viability of the Hydrogen-FuelCell-Technology.
The number of exhibitors has grown from 10 in 1995 to
96 and the area from about 300 square metres to 3,000
square metres.
Opening press conference: Sunday, 14 April, 2 pm at
the fair, Hall 13, Stand F68.
