Plug Power visited the land of sunshine and vineyards to join discussions at the California Hydrogen & Fuel Cell Summit.\u00a0 The event was held at the California Environmental Protection Agency\u2019s headquarters in Sacramento, CA September 25-27.\u00a0 This signature event of the California Hydrogen Business Council<\/a> continues a dialogue between government agencies and businesses to address opportunities and challenges in key environmental, business and market areas.\u00a0The CHBC\u2019s mission is to advance the commercialization of hydrogen in transportation and stationary sources to reduce emissions and dependence on foreign oil. Plug Power\u2019s participation in the event was twofold: a conference presentation on fuel cells for port applications and a tour of Stone Edge Farms, who uses Plug Power GenSure fuel cells in their microgrid.<\/p>\n

Fuel Cells for Mobility: Hydrogen fuel cells for Port applications<\/strong><\/p>\n

Tuesday, September 26th<\/sup>, Fernando Corral, Plug Power\u2019s VP Sales Retail & Distribution, spoke to attendees about the opportunities for hydrogen and fuel cells in port applications.<\/p>\n

\"Ports:<\/a><\/p>\n

\"Value<\/a><\/p>\n

\"Hydrogen<\/a><\/p>\n

As the leaders in hydrogen and fuel cells for industrial electric vehicles (forklifts, AGVs, ground support equipment), Plug Power is looking to ports as an area that shares some of the same characteristics with warehouses \u2013 captive fleet, high asset utilization, need for productivity and clean operation \u2013 while leveraging our experience and capabilities having accumulated more than 135 million run hours on our customers\u2019 forklift fleets and greater than 8 million hydrogen fuelings.\u00a0 Plug Power has the experience, technology, and team necessary to advance into new markets like ports.<\/p>\n

Fuel Cells for Stationary: Stone Edge Tour<\/strong><\/p>\n

On Wednesday, September 27th<\/sup>, attendees were invited to a tour of the hydrogen microgrid at Stone Edge Farm, a 16-acre organic winery and farm, located in Sonoma, California.\u00a0 The Stone Edge Farm microgrid is a mile-long power line that connects a network of electrical services and integrates various forms of distributed energy generation (solar, microturbine, hydrogen fuel cells) and storage (batteries and hydrogen) with real time monitoring and control.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Plug Power\u2019s GenSure fuel cells provide up to 26kW of power for Stone Edge\u2019s \u201ccritical grid,\u201d which powers their servers, fiber, Ethernet, gates, alarms and security lighting.\u00a0 Hydrogen for the GenSure fuel cells, and for multiple Toyota fuel cell vehicles operated by Stone Edge, is provided by a solar array connected to an electrolyzer.\u00a0 This combination ensures high reliability and uptime, combined with a clean, renewable form of hydrogen generation.\u00a0 Read more about this installation in a blog we wrote about it last year.<\/a><\/p>\n

\"Stone<\/a><\/p>\n

Plug Power was on hand during the tour to speak about the work being done by the GenSure fuel cells, while guests sampled some of Stone Edge Farm\u2019s top-quality wine products.<\/p>\n

Thanks to CHBC for coordinating and Stone Edge for hosting this tour, highlighting a real world look at what hydrogen and fuel cells can do in a sustainable microgrid.<\/p>\n
