Shell Hydrogen
As a founding member of the California Fuel Cell Partnership, Shell Hydrogen has worked with the other energy members to build early the hydrogen infrastructure for the fuel cell vehicles. Shell Hydrogen is also participating in other significant ventures. Shell Hydrogen and GM have set up a partnership to make hydrogen and fuel cell vehicles a commercial viable opportunity. The centerpiece of this partnership will be a real life demonstration of hydrogen fuel cell vehicles and fueling infrastructure technology in Washington DC, featuring the US’ first hydrogen pump at a retail gas station. In Iceland, Shell Hydrogen has built the first Shell-branded hydrogen retail station in the world. Together with Daimler Chrysler, Norsk Hydro and Vistorka, an Icelandic consortium, Shell Hydrogen is investigating the potential for completely replacing the use of fossil fuels in Iceland with hydrogen and so creating the world's first "hydrogen economy". The joint venture will test various applications using hydrogen fuel cells or hydrogen carriers. One of the first projects will be a hydrogen/fuel cell-powered bus service in Rekjavik. In 2003 the company has opened hydrogen refueling stations in Tokyo, Luxembourg and Amsterdam, making Shell the only global energy group involved in demonstration projects in all three of the key hydrogen markets: the United States, Europe and Japan. Shell Hydrogen is also active in technology development. Together with UTC Power, Shell Hydrogen set up a joint venture company HydrogenSource to develop, manufacture and sell fuel processors for the fuel cell and hydrogen fuel markets. Other joint ventures in technology development are Hera (hydrogen storage) and Quest Air (hydrogen purification). The company has also established two investment funds, Chrysalix and Conduit to help the development of fuel cell companies. Shell Hydrogen was set up in 1999 to pursue and develop business opportunities related to hydrogen and fuel cells, and has its principal office in Amsterdam, The Netherlands. www.shellhydrogen.com
