Breakthrough Technologies Institute - Fuel Cells 2000

Fuel cell bus, Hickam Air Force Base: A 30-ft. shuttle bus, employing hybrid fuel
cell/battery technology, was deployed in 2004 for a one-year demonstration at Hickam
Air Force Base. The project was initiated and managed by the Hawaii Center for
Advanced Transportation Technologies, with support from the University of Hawaii at
Manoa. Participants also included DoD, DOE and DOT.
Planned demonstration
Hydrogen Power Park, Big Island: HNEI is developing the Hawaii Hydrogen Power
Park, an effort to bring hydrogen systems into the marketplace by establishing a
hydrogen infrastructure through deployment and demonstration of an integrated system
comprising electrolysis for hydrogen production, hydrogen storage, and grid-connected
fuel cells. DBEDT serves as the lead agency, with HNEI serving as the implementing
partner and providing technical coordination and support. The project is funded by the
Hawaii Energy Office through DOE’s State Energy Partnership Program and will be
located at the NELHA Gateway DER Center.

A report issued in 2005 by the Governor’s Science & Technology Advisory Council
outlines Idaho’s four technology core competencies, which are areas where Idaho has
both expertise and future opportunities for economic growth. Fuel cells are included
under the state’s “Power and Energy” core area, with a number of company listings n the
state’s Core Competency Directory having a hydrogen or fuel cell focus.
