Hydropower-to-Hydrogen Project<br />

http://www.ny.gov/governor/press/06/1004061.html<br />

In October 2006, New York’s governor announced plans for one of the world’s largest<br />

hydrogen projects, using Western New York’s hydropower resources to produce<br />

hydrogen for use in hydrogen-fueled work and passenger vehicles and transit buses.<br />

The effort will be coordinated by the New York Power Authority (NYPA), the New York<br />

State Energy Research and Development Authority (NYSERDA) and the Long Island<br />

Power Authority (LIPA). Various other state and federal government organizations and<br />

corporations are expected to partner in the project.<br />

Hydrogen production is anticipated to begin by the end of 2007. Full implementation of<br />

the project is planned by the end of 2009 and will consist of two hydrogen generation<br />

stations, plus storage and fueling facilities. Production capacity will be 120 kg/day of<br />

hydrogen (equivalent to about 120 gallons of gasoline). The generation and fueling<br />

stations require up to 700 kw of hydropower.<br />

The 2002 New York State Energy Plan required that the New York State Energy<br />

Research and Development Authority examine and report on the feasibility of<br />

establishing a renewable portfolio standard (RPS). An "Order Approving Renewable<br />

Portfolio Standard Policy” was issued by the New York Public Service Commission in<br />

2004, calling for an increase in renewable energy used in the state from the then current<br />
