EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
There is the potential to generate approximately 938,000 megawatt hours (MWh) of electricity annually
from hydrogen and fuel cell technologies at potential host sites in the State of Connecticut, through the
development of 119 – 158 megawatts (MW) of fuel cell generation capacity. The state and federal
government have incentives to facilitate the development and use of renewable energy. The decision on
whether or not to deploy hydrogen or fuel cell technology at a given location depends largely on the
economic value, compared to other conventional or alternative/renewable technologies. Consequently,
while many sites may be technically viable for the application of fuel cell technology, this plan provides
focus for fuel cell applications that are both technically and economically viable.
Favorable locations for the development of renewable energy generation through fuel cell technology
include energy intensive commercial buildings (education, food sales, food services, inpatient healthcare,
lodging, and public order and safety), energy intensive industries, wastewater treatment plants, landfills,
wireless telecommunications sites, federal/state-owned buildings, and airport facilities with a substantial
amount of air traffic.
Currently, Connecticut has approximately 600 companies that are part of the growing hydrogen and fuel
cell industry supply chain in the Northeast region. Based on a recent study, these companies making up
the Connecticut hydrogen and fuel cell industry are estimated to have realized approximately $500
million in revenue and investment, contributed more than $22 million in state and local tax revenue,
and generated over $267 million in gross state product from their participation in this regional energy
cluster in 2010. Eight of these companies are original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) of
hydrogen and/or fuel cell systems, and were responsible for supplying 1,074 direct jobs and $254
million in direct revenue and investment in 2010.
Hydrogen and fuel cell projects are becoming increasingly popular throughout the Northeast region.
These technologies are viable solutions that can meet the demand for renewable energy in Connecticut.
In addition, the deployment of hydrogen and fuel cell technology would reduce the dependence on oil,
improve environmental performance, and increase the number of jobs within the state. This plan provides
links to relevant information to help assess, plan, and initiate hydrogen or fuel cell projects to help meet
the energy, economic, and environmental goals of the State.
Developing policies and incentives that support hydrogen and fuel cell technology will increase
deployment at sites that would benefit from on-site generation. Increased demand for hydrogen and fuel
cell technology will increase production and create jobs throughout the supply chain. As deployment
increases, manufacturing costs will decline and hydrogen and fuel cell technology will be in a position to
then compete in a global market without incentives. These policies and incentives can be coordinated
regionally to maintain the regional economic cluster as a global exporter for long-term growth and
economic development.

INTRODUCTION
A Hydrogen and Fuel Cell Industry Development Plan was created for each state in the Northeast region
(Connecticut, Vermont, Maine, New Hampshire, Rhode Island, Massachusetts, New York, and New
Jersey), with support from the United States (U.S.) Department of Energy (DOE), to increase awareness
and facilitate the deployment of hydrogen and fuel cell technology. The intent of this guidance document
is to make available information regarding the economic value and deployment opportunities for
hydrogen and fuel cell technology.1
A fuel cell is a device that uses hydrogen (or a hydrogen-rich fuel such as natural gas) and oxygen to
create an electric current. The amount of power produced by a fuel cell depends on several factors,
including fuel cell type, stack size, operating temperature, and the pressure at which the gases are
supplied to the cell. Fuel cells are classified primarily by the type of electrolyte they employ, which
determines the type of chemical reactions that take place in the cell, the temperature range in which the
cell operates, the fuel required, and other factors. These characteristics, in turn, affect the applications for
which these cells are most suitable. There are several types of fuel cells currently in use or under
development, each with its own advantages, limitations, and potential applications. These technologies
and applications are identified in Appendix VII.
Fuel cells have the potential to replace the internal combustion engine (ICE) in vehicles and provide
power for stationary and portable power applications. Fuel cells are in commercial service as distributed
power plants in stationary applications throughout the world, providing thermal energy and electricity to
power homes and businesses. Fuel cells are also used in transportation applications, such as automobiles,
trucks, buses, and other equipment. Fuel cells for portable applications, which are currently in
development, can provide power for laptop computers and cell phones.
Fuel cells are cleaner and more efficient than traditional combustion-based engines and power plants;
therefore, less energy is needed to provide the same amount of power. Typically, stationary fuel cell
power plants are fueled with natural gas or other hydrogen rich fuel. Natural gas is widely available
throughout the northeast, is relatively inexpensive, and is primarily a domestic energy supply.
Consequently, natural gas shows the greatest potential to serve as a transitional fuel for the near future
hydrogen economy. 2
Stationary fuel cells use a fuel reformer to convert the natural gas to near pure
hydrogen for the fuel cell stack. Because hydrogen can be produced using a wide variety of resources
found here in the U.S., including natural gas, biomass material, and through electrolysis using electricity
produced from indigenous sources, energy produced from a fuel cell can be considered renewable and
will reduce dependence on imported fuel. 3,4
When pure hydrogen is used to power a fuel cell, the only
by-products are water and heat; no pollutants or greenhouse gases (GHG) are produced.

DRIVERS
The Northeast hydrogen and fuel cell industry, while still emerging, currently has an economic impact of
over $1 Billion of total revenue and investment. Connecticut has eight original equipment manufacturers
of hydrogen/fuel cell systems, giving the state a significant direct economic impact, in addition to
benefiting from secondary impacts of indirect and induced employment and revenue. Furthermore,
Connecticut has a definitive and attractive economic development opportunity to greatly increase its
economic participation in the hydrogen and fuel cell industry within the Northeast region and worldwide.
An economic “SWOT” assessment for Connecticut is provided in Appendix VIII.
Industries in the Northeast, including those in Connecticut, are facing increased pressure to reduce costs,
fuel consumption, and emissions that may be contributing to climate change. Currently, Connecticut’s
businesses pay $0.154 per kWh for electricity on average; this is the second highest cost of electricity in
the U.S.5
Connecticut’s relative proximity to major load centers, the high cost of electricity, concerns
over regional air quality, available federal tax incentives, and legislative mandates in Connecticut and
neighboring states have resulted in renewed interest in the development of efficient renewable energy.
Incentives designed to assist individuals and organizations in energy conservation and the development of
renewable energy are currently offered within the state. Appendix IV contains an outline of
Connecticut’s incentives and renewable energy programs. Some specific factors that are driving the
market for hydrogen and fuel cell technology in Connecticut include the following:
The current Renewable Portfolio Standards (RPS) recognizes fuel cells that operate using
renewable or non-renewable fuels, as a “Class I” renewable energy source and calls for an
increase in renewable energy used in the state from its current level of approximately eight
percent to approximately 20 percent by 2020. 6
– promotes stationary power applications.
Net Metering requires all electric utilities to provide, upon request, net metering to customers who
generate electricity using renewable-energy systems with a maximum capacity of 2 MW, for
“Class I” facilities.7
– promotes stationary power applications.
The Public Act No. 08-98, Global Warming Solutions Act (GWSA), was adopted by the General
Assembly in 2008 and set forth the following greenhouse gas emission reduction requirements:
by January 2020, reduce greenhouse gas emissions to ten percent below 1990 levels; and by
January 2050, reduce greenhouse gas emissions to 80 percent below 2001 levels.8
– promotes
stationary power and transportation applications.
Connecticut is one of the states in the ten-state region that is part of the Regional Greenhouse Gas
Initiative (RGGI); the nation’s first mandatory market-based program to reduce emissions of
carbon dioxide (CO2). RGGI's goals are to stabilize and cap emissions at 188 million tons
annually from 2009-2014 and to reduce CO2-emissions by 2.5 percent per year from 2015-2018.9
– promotes stationary power and transportation applications.

ECONOMIC IMPACT
The hydrogen and fuel cell industry has direct, indirect, and induced impacts on local and regional
economies. 11
A new hydrogen and/or fuel cell project directly affects the area’s economy through the
purchase of goods and services, generation of land use revenue, taxes or payments in lieu of taxes, and
employment. Secondary effects include both indirect and induced economic effects resulting from the
circulation of the initial spending through the local economy, economic diversification, changes in
property values, and the use of indigenous resources.
Connecticut is home to approximately 600 companies that are part of the growing hydrogen and fuel cell
industry supply chain in the Northeast region. Appendices V and VI list the hydrogen and fuel cell
supply chain companies and OEMs in Connecticut. Realizing approximately $500 million in revenue and
investment from their participation in this regional cluster in 2010, these companies include
manufacturing, parts distributing, supplying of industrial gas, engineering based research and
development (R&D), coating applications, and managing of venture capital funds. 12
Furthermore, the
hydrogen and fuel cell industry is estimated to have contributed more than $22 million in state and local
tax revenue, and over $267 million in gross state product. Table 1 shows Connecticut’s impact in the
Northeast region’s hydrogen and fuel cell industry as of April 2011.

In addition there are over 118,000 people employed across 3,500 companies within the Northeast
registered as part of the motor vehicle industry. Approximately 16,100 of these individuals and 300 of
these companies are located in Connecticut. If newer/emerging hydrogen and fuel cell technology were
to gain momentum within the transportation sector, the estimated employment rate for the hydrogen and
fuel cell industry could grow significantly in the region.13
11
Indirect impacts are the estimated output (i.e., revenue), employment and labor income in other business (i.e., not-OEMs) that
are associated with the purchases made by hydrogen and fuel cell OEMs, as well as other companies in the sector’s supply chain.
Induced impacts are the estimated output, employment and labor income in other businesses (i.e., non-OEMs) that are associated
with the purchases by workers related to the hydrogen and fuel cell industry.

POTENTIAL STATIONARY TARGETS
In 2009, Connecticut consumed the equivalent of 231 MWh of energy from the transportation, residential,
industrial, and commercial sectors.14
Electricity consumption in Connecticut was approximately 29.7
million MWh, and is forcasted to grow at a rate of 0.6 percent annually over the next decade..15
Figure 1
illustrates the percent of total energy consumed by each sector in Connecticut. A more detailed breakout
of energy used is provided in Appendix II.
This demand represents approximately 25 percent of the population in New England and 25 percent of the
region’s total electricity consumption. The State relies on both in-state resources and imports of power
over the region’s transmission system to serve electricity to customers. Net electrical demand in
Connecticut was 3,392 MW in 2009 and is projected to increase by approximately 120 MW by 2015.16
The state’s overall electricity demand is forecasted to grow at a rate of 0.6 percent (0.9 percent peak
summer demand growth) annually over the next decade. Demand for new electric capacity as well as a
replacement of older less efficient base-load generation facilities is expected. With approximately 8,200
MW in total capacity of generation plants, Connecticut represents 25 percent of the total capacity in New
England.17
As shown in Figure 2, natural gas was the second most used energy source for electricity
consumed in New Jersey for 2009.18

Fuel cell systems have many advantages over other conventional technologies, including:
High fuel-to-electricity efficiency (> 40 percent) utilizing hydrocarbon fuels;
Overall system efficiency of 85 to 93 percent;
Reduction of noise pollution;
Reduction of air pollution;
Often do not require new transmission;
Siting is not controversial; and
If near point of use, waste heat can be captured and used. Combined heat and power (CHP)
systems are more efficient and can reduce facility energy costs over applications that use separate
heat and central station power systems.19
Fuel cells can be deployed as a CHP technology that provides both power and thermal energy, and can
nearly double energy efficiency at a customer site, typically from 35 to 50 percent. The value of CHP
includes reduced transmission and distribution costs, reduced fuel use and associated emissions.20
Based
on the targets identified within this plan, there is the potential to develop at least approximately 119 MWs
of stationary fuel cell generation capacity in Connecticut, which would provide the following benefits,
annually:
Production of approximately 938,000 MWh of electricity
Production of approximately 2.53 million MMBTUs of thermal energy
Reduction of CO2 emissions of approximately 277,000 tons (electric generation only)21
For the purpose of this plan, potential applications have been explored with a focus on fuel cells that have
a capacity between 300 kW to 400 kW. However, smaller fuel cells are potentially viable for specific
applications. Facilities that have electrical and thermal requirements that closely match the output of the
fuel cells potentially provide the best opportunity for the application of a fuel cell. Facilities that may be
good candidates for the application of a fuel cell include commercial buildings with potentially high
electricity consumption, selected government buildings, public works facilities, and energy intensive
industries.
Commercial building types with high electricity consumption have been identified as potential locations
for on-site generation and CHP application based on data from the Energy Information Administration’s
(EIA) Commercial Building Energy Consumption Survey (CBECS). These selected building types
making up the CBECS subcategory within the commercial industry include:

The commercial building types identified above represent top principal building activity classifications
that reported the highest value for electricity consumption on a per building basis and have a potentially
high load factor for the application of CHP. Appendix II further defines Connecticut’s estimated
electrical consumption per each sector. As illustrated in Figure 3, these selected building types within
the commercial sector is estimated to account for approximately 12 percent of Connecticut’s total
electrical consumption. Graphical representation of potential targets analyzed are depicted in Appendix I.

Education
There are approximately 390 non-public schools and 1,270 public schools (248 of which are considered
high schools with 100 or more students enrolled) in Connecticut.23,24
High schools operate for a longer
period of time daily due to extracurricular after school activities, such as clubs and athletics.
Furthermore, 22 of these schools have swimming pools which may make these sites especially attractive
because it would increase the utilization of both the electrical and thermal output offered by a fuel cell.
There are also 41 colleges and universities in Connecticut. Colleges and universities have facilities for
students, faculty, administration, and maintenance crews that typically include dormitories, cafeterias,
gyms, libraries, and athletic departments – some with swimming pools. Of these 289 locations (248 high
schools and 41 colleges), 265 are located in communities serviced by natural gas (Appendix I – Figure 1:
Education).
Educational establishments in Connecticut have shown interest in fuel cell technology. Examples of
existing or planned fuel cell applications within the state include high schools in South Windsor,
Middletown, and Hamden, in addition to colleges such as Yale University, the University of Connecticut,
and Central Connecticut State University.

Food Sales
There are over 4,000 businesses in Connecticut known to be engaged in the retail sale of food. Food sales
establishments are potentially good candidates for fuel cells based on their electrical demand and thermal
requirements for heating and refrigeration. Approximately 108 of these sites are considered larger food
sales businesses with approximately 60 or more employees at their site. 25
Of these 108 large food sales
businesses, 104 are located in communities serviced by natural gas (Appendix I – Figure 2: Food Sales). 26
The application of a large fuel cell (>300 kW) at a small convenience store may not be economically
viable based on the electric demand and operational requirements; however, a smaller fuel cell may be
appropriate.
Popular grocery chains such as Price Chopper, Supervalu, Whole foods, and Stop and Shop have shown
interest in powering their stores with fuel cells in Connecticut, Massachusetts, and New York.27
Whole
Foods, located in Glastonbury, and Stop and Shop, located in Torrington, are two locations in Connecticut
where a fuel cell power plant has been installed. In addition, grocery distribution centers, such as the
Whole Foods Market Distribution Center in Cheshire, Connecticut are prime targets for the application of
hydrogen and fuel cell technology for both stationary power and material handling equipment.

Food Service
There are over 5,000 businesses in Connecticut that can be classified as food service establishments used
for the preparation and sale of food and beverages for consumption.28
16 of these sites are considered
larger restaurant businesses with approximately 130 or more employees at their site and are located in
Connecticut communities serviced by natural gas (Appendix I – Figure 3: Food Services).29
The
application of a large fuel cell (>300 kW) at smaller restaurants with less than 130 workers may not be
economically viable based on the electric demand and operational requirements; however, a smaller fuel
cell ( 5 kW) may be appropriate to meet hot water and space heating requirements. A significant portion
(18 percent) of the energy consumed in a commercial food service operation can be attributed to the
domestic hot water heating load.30
In other parts of the U.S., popular chains, such as McDonalds, are
25
On average, food sale facilities consume 43,000 kWh of electricity per worker on an annual basis. When compared to current
fuel cell technology (>300 kW), which satisfies annual electricity consumption loads between 2,628,000 – 3,504,000 kWh,
calculations show food sales facilities employing more than 61 workers may represent favorable opportunities for the application
of a larger fuel cell.

technology (>300 kW) can satisfy annual electricity consumption loads between 2,628,000 – 3,504,000 kWh. Calculations show
food service facilities employing more than 130 workers may represent favorable opportunities for the application of a larger fuel

Inpatient Healthcare
There are over 372 inpatient healthcare facilities in Connecticut; 46 of which are classified as hospitals.32
Of these 46 locations, 31 are located in communities serviced by natural gas and contain 100 or more
beds on-site (Appendix I – Figure 4: Inpatient Healthcare). Hospitals represent an excellent opportunity
for the application of fuel cells because they require a high availability factor of electricity for lifesaving
medical devices and operate 24/7 with a relatively flat load curve. Furthermore, medical equipment,
patient rooms, sterilized/operating rooms, data centers, and kitchen areas within these facilities are often
required to be in operational conditions at all times which maximizes the use of electricity and thermal
energy from the fuel cell. Nationally, hospital energy costs have increased 56 percent from $3.89 per
square foot in 2003 to $6.07 per square foot for 2010; partially due to the increased cost of energy.33
Examples of healthcare facilities with planned or operational fuel cells include St. Francis, Stamford, and
Waterbury Hospitals in Connecticut, and North Central Bronx Hospital in New York.

Lodging
There are over 302 establishments specializing
in travel/lodging accommodations that include
hotels, motels, or inns in Connecticut.
Approximately 68 of these establishments have
150 or more rooms onsite, and can be classified
as “larger sized” lodging that may have
additional attributes, such as heated pools,
exercise facilities, and/or restaurants. 34
Of these
68 locations, 36 employ more than 94 workers
and are located in communities serviced by
natural gas. 35
As shown in Figure 4, more than
60 percent of total energy use at a typical
lodging facility is due to lighting, space heating,
and water heating. 36
The application of a large
fuel cell (>300 kW) at hotel/resort facilities with
less than 94 employees may not be economically
viable based on the electrical demand and
operational requirement; however, a smaller fuel
cell ( 5 kW) may be appropriate. Popular hotel
chains such as the Hilton and Starwood Hotels
have shown interest in powering their
establishments with fuel cells in New Jersey and
New York.
Connecticut also has 241 facilities identified as convalescent homes, 40 of which have bed capacities
greater than or equal to 150 units, and are located in communities serviced by natural gas37

In Connecticut, there are approximately 541 of these industrial facilities that are involved in
the manufacture of aluminum, cement, food, chemicals, forest products, glass, metal casting, petroleum,
coal products or iron and steel and employ 25 or more employees.45
Of these 541 locations, 510 are

Government Owned Buildings
Buildings operated by the federal government can be found at 88 locations in Connecticut; seven of these
properties are actively owned, rather than leased, by the federal government and are located in
communities serviced by natural gas (Appendix I – Figure 8: Federal Government Operated Buildings).
There are also a number of buildings owned and operated by the State of Connecticut. The application of
fuel cell technology at government owned buildings would assist in balancing load requirements at these
sites and offer a unique value for active and passive public education associated with the high usage of
these public buildings.

Wireless Telecommunication Sites
Telecommunications companies rely on electricity to run call centers, cell phone towers, and other vital
equipment. In Connecticut, there are approximately 301 telecommunications and/or wireless company
tower sites (Appendix I – Figure 9: Telecommunication Sites). Any loss of power at these locations may
result in a loss of service to customers; thus, having reliable power is critical. Each individual site
represents an opportunity to provide back-up power for continuous operation through the application of
on-site back-up generation powered by hydrogen and fuel cell technology. It is an industry standard to
install units capable of supplying 48-72 hours of backup power, which is typically accomplished with
batteries or conventional emergency generators.47
The deployment of fuel cells at selected
telecommunication sites will have special value to provide increased reliability to critical sites associated
with emergency communications and homeland security. An example of a telecommunication site that
utilizes fuel cell technology to provide backup power is a T-Mobile facility located in Storrs, Connecticut.

WWTPs typically operate 24/7 and may be able to utilize the thermal energy from the fuel cell to process
fats, oils, and grease.48
WWTPs account for approximately three percent of the electric load in the United
State.49
Digester gas produced at WWTP’s, which is usually 60 percent methane, can serve as a fuel
substitute for natural gas to power fuel cells. Anaerobic digesters generally require a wastewater flow
greater than three MGD for an economy of scale to collect and use the methane.50
Most facilities currently
represent a lost opportunity to capture and use the digestion of methane emissions created from their
operations (Appendix I – Figure 10: Solid and Liquid Waste Sites). 51,52
A 200 kW fuel cell power plant was installed at the Water Pollution Control Authority’s WWTP in New
Haven, Connecticut, and produces 10 – 15 percent of the facility’s electricity, reducing energy costs by
almost $13,000 a year.53

Landfill Methane Outreach Program (LMOP)
There are 20 landfills in Connecticut identified by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) through
their LMOP program: three of which are operational, three are candidates, and 17 are considered potential
sites for the production and recovery of methane gas.54,55
The amount of methane emissions released by a
given site is dependent upon the amount of material in the landfill and the amount of time the material has
been in place. Similar to WWTPs, methane emissions from landfills could be captured and used as a fuel
to power a fuel cell system. In 2009, municipal solid waste (MSW) landfills were responsible for
producing approximately 17 percent of human-related methane emissions in the nation. These locations
could produce renewable energy and help manage the release of methane (Appendix I – Figure 10: Solid
and Liquid Waste Sites).

POTENTIAL TRANSPORTATION TARGETS
Transportation is responsible for one-fourth of the total global GHG emissions and consumes 75 percent
of the world’s oil production. In 2010, the U.S. used 21 million barrels of non-renewable petroleum each
day. Roughly 32 percent of Connecticut’s energy consumption is due to demands of the transportation
sector, including gasoline and on-highway diesel petroleum for automobiles, cars, trucks, and buses. A
small percent of non-renewable petroleum is used for jet and ship fuel.60
The current economy in the U.S. is dependent on hydrocarbon energy sources and any disruption or
shortage of this energy supply will severely affect many energy related activities, including
transportation. As oil and other non-sustainable hydrocarbon energy resources become scarce, energy
prices will increase and the reliability of supply will be reduced. Government and industry are now
investigating the use of hydrogen and renewable energy as a replacement of hydrocarbon fuels.
Hydrogen-fueled fuel cell electric vehicles (FCEVs) have many advantages over conventional
technology, including:
Quiet operation;
Near zero emissions of controlled pollutants such as nitrous oxide, carbon monoxide,
hydrocarbon gases or particulates;
Substantial (30 to 50 percent) reduction in GHG emissions on a well-to-wheel basis compared to
conventional gasoline or gasoline-hybrid vehicles when the hydrogen is produced by
conventional methods such as natural gas; and 100 percent when hydrogen is produced from a
clean energy source;
Ability to fuel vehicles with indigenous energy sources which reduces dependence on imported
energy and adds to energy security; and
Higher efficiency than conventional vehicles (See Table 4).61,62

FCEVs can reduce price volatility, dependence on oil, improve environmental performance, and provide
greater efficiencies than conventional transportation technologies, as follows:
Replacement of gasoline-fueled passenger vehicles and light duty trucks, and diesel-fueled transit
buses with FCEVs could result in annual CO2 emission reductions (per vehicle) of approximately
10,170, 15,770, and 182,984 pounds per year, respectively.64

Replacement of gasoline-fueled passenger vehicles and light duty trucks, and diesel-fueled transit
buses with FCEVs could result in annual energy savings (per vehicle) of approximately 230
gallons of gasoline (passenger vehicle), 485 gallons of gasoline (light duty truck) and 4,390
gallons of diesel (bus).
Replacement of gasoline-fueled passenger vehicles, light duty trucks, and diesel-fueled transit
buses with FCEVs could result in annual fuel cost savings of approximately $885 per passenger
vehicle, $1,866 per light duty truck, and $17,560 per bus.65
Automobile manufacturers such as Toyota, General Motors, Honda, Daimler AG, and Hyundai have
projected that models of their FCEVs will begin to roll out in larger numbers by 2015. Longer term, the
U.S. DOE has projected that between 15.1 million and 23.9 million light duty FCEVs may be sold each
year by 2050 and between 144 million and 347 million light duty FCEVs may be in use by 2050 with a
transition to a hydrogen economy. These estimates could be accelerated if political, economic, energy
security or environmental polices prompt a rapid advancement in alternative fuels.66
Strategic targets for the application of hydrogen for transportation include alternative fueling stations;
Connecticut Department of Transportation (CDOT) refueling stations; bus transits operations;
government, public, and privately owned fleets; and material handling and airport ground support
equipment (GSE). Graphical representation of potential targets analyzed are depicted in Appendix I.
Alternative Fueling Stations
There are approximately 1,470 retail fueling stations in Connecticut;67
however, only 59 public and/or
private stations within the state provide alternative fuels, such as biodiesel, compressed natural gas
(CNG), liquid propane gas (LPG), electricity, and/or hydrogen for alternative-fueled vehicles.68
There are
also approximately 33 refueling stations owned and operated by CDOT that can be used by authorities
operating federal and state safety vehicles, state transit vehicles, and employees of universities that
operate fleet vehicles on a regular basis.69
Development of hydrogen fueling at alternative fuel stations at
selected locations owned and operated by CDOT would help facilitate the deployment of FCEVs within
the state. (See Appendix I – Figure 12: Alternative Fueling Stations)
Connecticut currently has two hydrogen refueling stations; the SunHydro facility located at Proton
OnSite, in Wallingford, and UTC Power facility, located in South Windsor. A multi-fuel station, that
would also include hydrogen, is currently being developed, and two other hydrogen fueling stations are in
the process of being installed; one for the Greater New Haven Transit District and the Town of Hamden,
in Hamden, and another at the CTTransit maintenance facility in Hartford, Connecticut. There are
approximately 18 (including Connecticut locations) existing or planned transportation fueling stations in
the Northeast region where hydrogen is provided as an alternative fuel.70,71,72

Fleets
There are over 3,500 fleet vehicles (excluding state and federal) classified as non-leasing or company
owned vehicles in Connecticut.73
Fleet vehicles typically account for more than twice the amount of
mileage, and therefore twice the fuel consumption and emissions, compared to personal vehicles on a per
vehicle basis. There is an additional 5,000 passenger automobiles and/or light duty trucks in Connecticut,
owned by state and federal agencies (excluding state police) that traveled a combined 37,065,180 miles in
2010, while releasing 3,248 metrics tons of CO2.74
Conversion of fleet vehicles from conventional fossil
fuels to FCEVs could significantly reduce petroleum consumption and GHG emissions. Fleet vehicle
hubs may be good candidates for hydrogen refueling and conversion to FCEVs because they mostly
operate on fixed routes or within fixed districts and are fueled from a centralized station.
Bus Transit
There are approximately 670 directly operated buses that provide public transportation services in
Connecticut.75
As discussed above, replacement of a conventional diesel transit bus with fuel cell transit
bus would result in the reduction of CO2 emissions (estimated at approximately 183,000 pounds per year),
and reduction of diesel fuel (estimated at approximately 4,390 gallons per year).76
Although the
efficiency of conventional diesel buses has increased, conventional diesel buses, which typically achieve
fuel economy performance levels of 3.9 miles per gallon, have the greatest potential for energy savings by
using high efficiency fuel cells. In addition to Connecticut, other states have also begun the transition of
fueling transit buses with alternative fuels to improve efficiency and environmental performance.
Joining an earlier generation bus that began service in 2007, four next-generation fuel cell-powered
hybrid-electric buses were introduced in Connecticut on October 15, 2010, and a sixth bus is expected in
2012. CDOT has constructed a separate hydrogen fuel cell bus garage at the CTTransit maintenance
facility in Hartford, to make room for the growing fleet.77
Material Handling
Material handling equipment such as forklifts are used by a variety of industries, including
manufacturing, construction, mining, agriculture, food, retailers, and wholesale trade to move goods
within a facility or to load goods for shipping to another site. Material handling equipment is usually
battery, propane or diesel powered. Batteries that currently power material handling equipment are heavy
and take up significant storage space while only providing up to 6 hours of run time. Fuel cells can
ensure constant power delivery and performance, eliminating the reduction in voltage output that occurs
as batteries discharge. Fuel cell powered material handling equipment last more than twice as long (12-
14 hours) and also eliminate the need for battery storage and charging rooms, leaving more space for
products. In addition, fueling time only takes two to three minutes by the operator compared to least 20
minutes or more for each battery replacement, which saves the operator valuable time and increases
warehouse productivity.
In addition, fuel cell powered material handling equipment has significant cost advantages, compared to
batteries, such as:

1.5 times lower maintenance cost;
8 times lower refueling/recharging labor cost;
2 times lower net present value of total operations and management (O&M) system cost;
63 percent less emissions of GHG (Appendix XI provides a comparison of PEM fuel cell and
battery-powered material handling equipment).
Fuel cell powered material handling equipment is already in use at dozens of warehouses, distribution
centers, and manufacturing plants in North America.78
Large corporations that are currently using or
planning to use fuel cell powered material handling equipment include CVS, Coca-Cola, BMW, Central
Grocers, and Wal-Mart (Refer to Appendix X for a partial list of companies in North America that use
fuel cell powered forklifts).79
There are approximately 12 distribution centers/warehouse sites that have
been identified in Connecticut that may benefit from the use of fuel cell powered material handling
equipment (Appendix I – Figure 13: Distribution Centers/Warehouses).
Ground Support Equipment
Ground support equipment (GSE) such as catering trucks, deicers, and airport tugs can be battery
operated or more commonly run on diesel or gasoline. As an alternative, hydrogen-powered tugs are
being developed for both military and commercial applications. While their performance is similar to that
of other battery-powered equipment, a fuel cell-powered GSE remains fully charged (provided there is
hydrogen fuel available) and do not experience performance lag at the end of a shift like battery-powered
GSEs.80
Potential large end-users of GSE that serve Connecticut’s largest airports include Air Canada,
Air France, British Airways, Continental, Southwest Airlines, JetBlue United, and US Airways
(Appendix I – Figure 11: Commercial Airports).81
Ports
Ports in New London, New Haven, and Bridgeport Connecticut, which service large vessels, such as
container ships, tankers, bulk carriers, and cruise ships, may be candidates for improved energy
management. In one year, a single large container ship can emit pollutants equivalent to that of 50
million cars. The low grade bunker fuel used by the worlds 90,000 cargo ships contains up to 2,000 times
the amount of sulfur compared to diesel fuel used in automobiles.82
While docked, vessels shut off their
main engines but use auxiliary diesel and steam engines to power refrigeration, lights, pumps, and other
functions. An estimated one-third of ship emissions occur while they are idling at berth. Replacing
auxiliary engines with on-shore electric power could significantly reduce emissions, a process dubbed
“cold-ironing”. The applications of fuel cell technology at ports may also provide electrical and thermal
energy for improving energy management at warehouses, and equipment operated between terminals
(Appendix I – Figure 13: Distribution Centers/Warehouses & Ports).83

CONCLUSION
Hydrogen and fuel cell technology offers significant opportunities for improved energy reliability, energy
efficiency, and emission reductions. Large fuel cell units (>300 kW) may be appropriate for applications
that serve large electric and thermal loads. Smaller fuel cell units (< 300 kW) may provide back-up power
for telecommunication sites, restaurants/fast food outlets, and smaller sized public facilities at this time.

units, with a capacity of 300 – 400 kW, could be deployed for a total fuel cell capacity of 119 to 158
MWs.
If all suggested targets are satisfied by fuel cell(s) installations with 300 kW, a minimum of 938,196
MWh electric and 2.53 million MMBTUs (equivalent to 741,207 MWh) of thermal energy would be
produced, which could reduce CO2 emissions by at least 277,289 tons per year.97
Connecticut can also benefit from the use of hydrogen and fuel cell technology for transportation such as
passenger fleets, transit district fleets, municipal fleets and state department fleets. The application of
hydrogen and fuel cell technology for transportation would reduce the dependence on oil, improve
environmental performance and provide greater efficiencies than conventional transportation
technologies.
• Replacement of a gasoline-fueled passenger vehicle with FCEVs could result in annual CO2
emission reductions (per vehicle) of approximately 10,170 pounds, annual energy savings of 230
gallons of gasoline, and annual fuel cost savings of $885.
• Replacement of a gasoline-fueled light duty truck with FCEVs could result in annual CO2
emission reductions (per light duty truck) of approximately 15,770 pounds, annual energy savings
of 485 gallons of gasoline, and annual fuel cost savings of $1866.
• Replacement of a diesel-fueled transit bus with a fuel cell powered bus could result in annual CO2
emission reductions (per bus) of approximately 182,984 pounds, annual energy savings of 4,390
gallons of fuel, and annual fuel cost savings of $17,560.
Hydrogen and fuel cell technology also provides significant opportunities for job creation and/or
economic development. Realizing approximately $500 million in revenue and investment from their
participation in this regional cluster in 2010, the hydrogen and fuel cell industry in Connecticut is
estimated to have contributed approximately $22 million in state and local tax revenue, and over $267
million in gross state product. Currently, there are approximately 600 Connecticut companies that are
part of the growing hydrogen and fuel cell industry supply chain in the Northeast region. Eight of these
companies are defined as OEMs, and were responsible for supplying 1,074 direct jobs and $254 million
in direct revenue and investment in 2010. If newer/emerging hydrogen and fuel cell technology were to
gain momentum, the number of companies and employment for the industry could grow substantially.
97
If all suggested targets are satisfied by fuel cell(s) installations with 400 kW, a minimum of 1.31million MWh electric and 6.17
million MMBTUs (equivalent to 1.81 million MWh) of thermal energy would be produced, which could reduce CO2 emissions
by at least 368,165 tons per year.

  • 3. HYDROGEN AND FUEL CELL INDUSTRY DEVELOPMENT PLAN FINAL – APRIL 10, 2012 2 CONNECTICUT EXECUTIVE SUMMARY There is the potential to generate approximately 938,000 megawatt hours (MWh) of electricity annually from hydrogen and fuel cell technologies at potential host sites in the State of Connecticut, through the development of 119 – 158 megawatts (MW) of fuel cell generation capacity. The state and federal government have incentives to facilitate the development and use of renewable energy. The decision on whether or not to deploy hydrogen or fuel cell technology at a given location depends largely on the economic value, compared to other conventional or alternative/renewable technologies. Consequently, while many sites may be technically viable for the application of fuel cell technology, this plan provides focus for fuel cell applications that are both technically and economically viable. Favorable locations for the development of renewable energy generation through fuel cell technology include energy intensive commercial buildings (education, food sales, food services, inpatient healthcare, lodging, and public order and safety), energy intensive industries, wastewater treatment plants, landfills, wireless telecommunications sites, federal/state-owned buildings, and airport facilities with a substantial amount of air traffic. Currently, Connecticut has approximately 600 companies that are part of the growing hydrogen and fuel cell industry supply chain in the Northeast region. Based on a recent study, these companies making up the Connecticut hydrogen and fuel cell industry are estimated to have realized approximately $500 million in revenue and investment, contributed more than $22 million in state and local tax revenue, and generated over $267 million in gross state product from their participation in this regional energy cluster in 2010. Eight of these companies are original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) of hydrogen and/or fuel cell systems, and were responsible for supplying 1,074 direct jobs and $254 million in direct revenue and investment in 2010. Hydrogen and fuel cell projects are becoming increasingly popular throughout the Northeast region. These technologies are viable solutions that can meet the demand for renewable energy in Connecticut. In addition, the deployment of hydrogen and fuel cell technology would reduce the dependence on oil, improve environmental performance, and increase the number of jobs within the state. This plan provides links to relevant information to help assess, plan, and initiate hydrogen or fuel cell projects to help meet the energy, economic, and environmental goals of the State. Developing policies and incentives that support hydrogen and fuel cell technology will increase deployment at sites that would benefit from on-site generation. Increased demand for hydrogen and fuel cell technology will increase production and create jobs throughout the supply chain. As deployment increases, manufacturing costs will decline and hydrogen and fuel cell technology will be in a position to then compete in a global market without incentives. These policies and incentives can be coordinated regionally to maintain the regional economic cluster as a global exporter for long-term growth and economic development.

  • 6. HYDROGEN AND FUEL CELL INDUSTRY DEVELOPMENT PLAN FINAL – APRIL 10, 2012 5 CONNECTICUT INTRODUCTION A Hydrogen and Fuel Cell Industry Development Plan was created for each state in the Northeast region (Connecticut, Vermont, Maine, New Hampshire, Rhode Island, Massachusetts, New York, and New Jersey), with support from the United States (U.S.) Department of Energy (DOE), to increase awareness and facilitate the deployment of hydrogen and fuel cell technology. The intent of this guidance document is to make available information regarding the economic value and deployment opportunities for hydrogen and fuel cell technology.1 A fuel cell is a device that uses hydrogen (or a hydrogen-rich fuel such as natural gas) and oxygen to create an electric current. The amount of power produced by a fuel cell depends on several factors, including fuel cell type, stack size, operating temperature, and the pressure at which the gases are supplied to the cell. Fuel cells are classified primarily by the type of electrolyte they employ, which determines the type of chemical reactions that take place in the cell, the temperature range in which the cell operates, the fuel required, and other factors. These characteristics, in turn, affect the applications for which these cells are most suitable. There are several types of fuel cells currently in use or under development, each with its own advantages, limitations, and potential applications. These technologies and applications are identified in Appendix VII. Fuel cells have the potential to replace the internal combustion engine (ICE) in vehicles and provide power for stationary and portable power applications. Fuel cells are in commercial service as distributed power plants in stationary applications throughout the world, providing thermal energy and electricity to power homes and businesses. Fuel cells are also used in transportation applications, such as automobiles, trucks, buses, and other equipment. Fuel cells for portable applications, which are currently in development, can provide power for laptop computers and cell phones. Fuel cells are cleaner and more efficient than traditional combustion-based engines and power plants; therefore, less energy is needed to provide the same amount of power. Typically, stationary fuel cell power plants are fueled with natural gas or other hydrogen rich fuel. Natural gas is widely available throughout the northeast, is relatively inexpensive, and is primarily a domestic energy supply. Consequently, natural gas shows the greatest potential to serve as a transitional fuel for the near future hydrogen economy. 2 Stationary fuel cells use a fuel reformer to convert the natural gas to near pure hydrogen for the fuel cell stack. Because hydrogen can be produced using a wide variety of resources found here in the U.S., including natural gas, biomass material, and through electrolysis using electricity produced from indigenous sources, energy produced from a fuel cell can be considered renewable and will reduce dependence on imported fuel. 3,4 When pure hydrogen is used to power a fuel cell, the only by-products are water and heat; no pollutants or greenhouse gases (GHG) are produced. 1 Key stakeholders are identified in Appendix III 2 EIA, “Commercial Sector Energy Price Estimates, 2009”, http://www.eia.gov/state/seds/hf.jsp?incfile=sep_sum/html/sum_pr_com.html, September 2011 3 Electrolysis is the process of using an electric current to split water molecules into hydrogen and oxygen. 4 U.S. Department of Energy (DOE), http://www1.eere.energy.gov/hydrogenandfuelcells/education/, August 2011
  • 7. HYDROGEN AND FUEL CELL INDUSTRY DEVELOPMENT PLAN FINAL – APRIL 10, 2012 6 CONNECTICUT DRIVERS The Northeast hydrogen and fuel cell industry, while still emerging, currently has an economic impact of over $1 Billion of total revenue and investment. Connecticut has eight original equipment manufacturers of hydrogen/fuel cell systems, giving the state a significant direct economic impact, in addition to benefiting from secondary impacts of indirect and induced employment and revenue. Furthermore, Connecticut has a definitive and attractive economic development opportunity to greatly increase its economic participation in the hydrogen and fuel cell industry within the Northeast region and worldwide. An economic “SWOT” assessment for Connecticut is provided in Appendix VIII. Industries in the Northeast, including those in Connecticut, are facing increased pressure to reduce costs, fuel consumption, and emissions that may be contributing to climate change. Currently, Connecticut’s businesses pay $0.154 per kWh for electricity on average; this is the second highest cost of electricity in the U.S.5 Connecticut’s relative proximity to major load centers, the high cost of electricity, concerns over regional air quality, available federal tax incentives, and legislative mandates in Connecticut and neighboring states have resulted in renewed interest in the development of efficient renewable energy. Incentives designed to assist individuals and organizations in energy conservation and the development of renewable energy are currently offered within the state. Appendix IV contains an outline of Connecticut’s incentives and renewable energy programs. Some specific factors that are driving the market for hydrogen and fuel cell technology in Connecticut include the following: The current Renewable Portfolio Standards (RPS) recognizes fuel cells that operate using renewable or non-renewable fuels, as a “Class I” renewable energy source and calls for an increase in renewable energy used in the state from its current level of approximately eight percent to approximately 20 percent by 2020. 6 – promotes stationary power applications. Net Metering requires all electric utilities to provide, upon request, net metering to customers who generate electricity using renewable-energy systems with a maximum capacity of 2 MW, for “Class I” facilities.7 – promotes stationary power applications. The Public Act No. 08-98, Global Warming Solutions Act (GWSA), was adopted by the General Assembly in 2008 and set forth the following greenhouse gas emission reduction requirements: by January 2020, reduce greenhouse gas emissions to ten percent below 1990 levels; and by January 2050, reduce greenhouse gas emissions to 80 percent below 2001 levels.8 – promotes stationary power and transportation applications. Connecticut is one of the states in the ten-state region that is part of the Regional Greenhouse Gas Initiative (RGGI); the nation’s first mandatory market-based program to reduce emissions of carbon dioxide (CO2). RGGI's goals are to stabilize and cap emissions at 188 million tons annually from 2009-2014 and to reduce CO2-emissions by 2.5 percent per year from 2015-2018.9 – promotes stationary power and transportation applications. 5 EIA, Average Retail Price of Electricity to Ultimate Customers by End-Use Sector, by State, http://www.eia.gov/cneaf/electricity/epm/table5_6_a.html, October 2011 6 DSIRE, “Connecticut Renewable Portfolio Standards”, http://dsireusa.org/incentives/incentive.cfm?Incentive_Code=CT04R&re=1&ee=1, September , 2011 7 DSIRE, “Connecticut – Net Metering”, http://www.dsireusa.org/incentives/incentive.cfm?Incentive_Code=CT01R&re=1&ee=1, September; 2011 8 CT.gov, DEEP, “Climate Change”, http://www.ct.gov/dep/cwp/view.asp?a=2684&q=322070, October, 2011 9 Seacoastonline.come, “RGGI: Quietly setting a standard”, http://www.seacoastonline.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=/20090920/NEWS/909200341/-1/NEWSMAP, September 20, 2009

  • 9. HYDROGEN AND FUEL CELL INDUSTRY DEVELOPMENT PLAN FINAL – APRIL 10, 2012 8 CONNECTICUT ECONOMIC IMPACT The hydrogen and fuel cell industry has direct, indirect, and induced impacts on local and regional economies. 11 A new hydrogen and/or fuel cell project directly affects the area’s economy through the purchase of goods and services, generation of land use revenue, taxes or payments in lieu of taxes, and employment. Secondary effects include both indirect and induced economic effects resulting from the circulation of the initial spending through the local economy, economic diversification, changes in property values, and the use of indigenous resources. Connecticut is home to approximately 600 companies that are part of the growing hydrogen and fuel cell industry supply chain in the Northeast region. Appendices V and VI list the hydrogen and fuel cell supply chain companies and OEMs in Connecticut. Realizing approximately $500 million in revenue and investment from their participation in this regional cluster in 2010, these companies include manufacturing, parts distributing, supplying of industrial gas, engineering based research and development (R&D), coating applications, and managing of venture capital funds. 12 Furthermore, the hydrogen and fuel cell industry is estimated to have contributed more than $22 million in state and local tax revenue, and over $267 million in gross state product. Table 1 shows Connecticut’s impact in the Northeast region’s hydrogen and fuel cell industry as of April 2011. Table 1 - Connecticut Economic Data 2011 Connecticut Economic Data Supply Chain Members 599 Direct Rev ($M) 254.42 Direct Jobs 1,074 Direct Labor Income ($M) 105.79 Indirect Rev ($M) 122.35 Indirect Jobs 633 Indirect Labor Income ($M) 47.58 Induced Revenue ($M) 120.12 Induced Jobs 822 Induced Labor Income ($M) 43.04 Total Revenue ($M) 496.89 Total Jobs 2,529 Total Labor Income ($M) 196.4 In addition there are over 118,000 people employed across 3,500 companies within the Northeast registered as part of the motor vehicle industry. Approximately 16,100 of these individuals and 300 of these companies are located in Connecticut. If newer/emerging hydrogen and fuel cell technology were to gain momentum within the transportation sector, the estimated employment rate for the hydrogen and fuel cell industry could grow significantly in the region.13 11 Indirect impacts are the estimated output (i.e., revenue), employment and labor income in other business (i.e., not-OEMs) that are associated with the purchases made by hydrogen and fuel cell OEMs, as well as other companies in the sector’s supply chain. Induced impacts are the estimated output, employment and labor income in other businesses (i.e., non-OEMs) that are associated with the purchases by workers related to the hydrogen and fuel cell industry. 12 Northeast Electrochemical Energy Storage Cluster Supply Chain Database, http://neesc.org/resources/?type=1, April 8, 2011 13 NAICS Codes: Motor Vehicle – 33611, Motor Vehicle Parts – 3363
  • 10. HYDROGEN AND FUEL CELL INDUSTRY DEVELOPMENT PLAN FINAL – APRIL 10, 2012 9 CONNECTICUT Residential 33% Commercial 25% Industrial 11% Transportation 31% POTENTIAL STATIONARY TARGETS In 2009, Connecticut consumed the equivalent of 231 MWh of energy from the transportation, residential, industrial, and commercial sectors.14 Electricity consumption in Connecticut was approximately 29.7 million MWh, and is forcasted to grow at a rate of 0.6 percent annually over the next decade..15 Figure 1 illustrates the percent of total energy consumed by each sector in Connecticut. A more detailed breakout of energy used is provided in Appendix II. This demand represents approximately 25 percent of the population in New England and 25 percent of the region’s total electricity consumption. The State relies on both in-state resources and imports of power over the region’s transmission system to serve electricity to customers. Net electrical demand in Connecticut was 3,392 MW in 2009 and is projected to increase by approximately 120 MW by 2015.16 The state’s overall electricity demand is forecasted to grow at a rate of 0.6 percent (0.9 percent peak summer demand growth) annually over the next decade. Demand for new electric capacity as well as a replacement of older less efficient base-load generation facilities is expected.

HYDROGEN AND FUEL CELL INDUSTRY DEVELOPMENT PLAN FINAL – APRIL 10, 2012 10 CONNECTICUT Fuel cell systems have many advantages over other conventional technologies, including: High fuel-to-electricity efficiency (> 40 percent) utilizing hydrocarbon fuels; Overall system efficiency of 85 to 93 percent; Reduction of noise pollution; Reduction of air pollution; Often do not require new transmission; Siting is not controversial; and If near point of use, waste heat can be captured and used. Combined heat and power (CHP) systems are more efficient and can reduce facility energy costs over applications that use separate heat and central station power systems.19 Fuel cells can be deployed as a CHP technology that provides both power and thermal energy, and can nearly double energy efficiency at a customer site, typically from 35 to 50 percent. The value of CHP includes reduced transmission and distribution costs, reduced fuel use and associated emissions.20 Based on the targets identified within this plan, there is the potential to develop at least approximately 119 MWs of stationary fuel cell generation capacity in Connecticut, which would provide the following benefits, annually: Production of approximately 938,000 MWh of electricity Production of approximately 2.53 million MMBTUs of thermal energy Reduction of CO2 emissions of approximately 277,000 tons (electric generation only)21 For the purpose of this plan, potential applications have been explored with a focus on fuel cells that have a capacity between 300 kW to 400 kW. However, smaller fuel cells are potentially viable for specific applications. Facilities that have electrical and thermal requirements that closely match the output of the fuel cells potentially provide the best opportunity for the application of a fuel cell. Facilities that may be good candidates for the application of a fuel cell include commercial buildings with potentially high electricity consumption, selected government buildings, public works facilities, and energy intensive industries. Commercial building types with high electricity consumption have been identified as potential locations for on-site generation and CHP application based on data from the Energy Information Administration’s (EIA) Commercial Building Energy Consumption Survey (CBECS).

Furthermore, 22 of these schools have swimming pools which may make these sites especially attractive because it would increase the utilization of both the electrical and thermal output offered by a fuel cell. There are also 41 colleges and universities in Connecticut. Colleges and universities have facilities for students, faculty, administration, and maintenance crews that typically include dormitories, cafeterias, gyms, libraries, and athletic departments – some with swimming pools. Of these 289 locations (248 high schools and 41 colleges), 265 are located in communities serviced by natural gas (Appendix I – Figure 1: Education). Educational establishments in Connecticut have shown interest in fuel cell technology. Examples of existing or planned fuel cell applications within the state include high schools in South Windsor, Middletown, and Hamden, in addition to colleges such as Yale University, the University of Connecticut, and Central Connecticut State University.

Food sales establishments are potentially good candidates for fuel cells based on their electrical demand and thermal requirements for heating and refrigeration. Approximately 108 of these sites are considered larger food sales businesses with approximately 60 or more employees at their site. 25 Of these 108 large food sales businesses, 104 are located in communities serviced by natural gas (Appendix I – Figure 2: Food Sales). 26 The application of a large fuel cell (>300 kW) at a small convenience store may not be economically viable based on the electric demand and operational requirements; however, a smaller fuel cell may be appropriate. Popular grocery chains such as Price Chopper, Supervalu, Whole foods, and Stop and Shop have shown interest in powering their stores with fuel cells in Connecticut, Massachusetts, and New York.27 Whole Foods, located in Glastonbury, and Stop and Shop, located in Torrington, are two locations in Connecticut where a fuel cell power plant has been installed. In addition, grocery distribution centers, such as the Whole Foods Market Distribution Center in Cheshire, Connecticut are prime targets for the application of hydrogen and fuel cell technology for both stationary power and material handling equipment.

Hospitals represent an excellent opportunity for the application of fuel cells because they require a high availability factor of electricity for lifesaving medical devices and operate 24/7 with a relatively flat load curve. Furthermore, medical equipment, patient rooms, sterilized/operating rooms, data centers, and kitchen areas within these facilities are often required to be in operational conditions at all times which maximizes the use of electricity and thermal energy from the fuel cell. Nationally, hospital energy costs have increased 56 percent from $3.89 per square foot in 2003 to $6.07 per square foot for 2010; partially due to the increased cost of energy.33 Examples of healthcare facilities with planned or operational fuel cells include St. Francis, Stamford, and Waterbury Hospitals in Connecticut, and North Central Bronx Hospital in New York.

Any loss of power at these locations may result in a loss of service to customers; thus, having reliable power is critical. Each individual site represents an opportunity to provide back-up power for continuous operation through the application of on-site back-up generation powered by hydrogen and fuel cell technology. It is an industry standard to install units capable of supplying 48-72 hours of backup power, which is typically accomplished with batteries or conventional emergency generators.47 The deployment of fuel cells at selected telecommunication sites will have special value to provide increased reliability to critical sites associated with emergency communications and homeland security.

Anaerobic digesters generally require a wastewater flow greater than three MGD for an economy of scale to collect and use the methane.50 Most facilities currently represent a lost opportunity to capture and use the digestion of methane emissions created from their operations (Appendix I – Figure 10: Solid and Liquid Waste Sites). 51,52 A 200 kW fuel cell power plant was installed at the Water Pollution Control Authority’s WWTP in New Haven, Connecticut, and produces 10 – 15 percent of the facility’s electricity, reducing energy costs by almost $13,000 a year.53 Table 12 - Wastewater Treatment Plant Data Breakdown State Total Sites Potential Sites FC Units (300 Kw) MWs MWhrs (per year) Thermal Output (MMBTU) CO2 emissions (ton per year) CT (% of Region) 77 (13) 4 (25) 4 (25) 1.2 (25) 9,461 (25) 25,481 (25) 1,816 (22) Landfill Methane Outreach Program (LMOP) There are 20 landfills in Connecticut identified by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) through their LMOP program: three of which are operational, three are candidates, and 17 are considered potential sites for the production and recovery of methane gas.54,55 The amount of methane emissions released by a given site is dependent upon the amount of material in the landfill and the amount of time the material has been in place. Similar to WWTPs, methane emissions from landfills could be captured and used as a fuel to power a fuel cell system.

  • 21. HYDROGEN AND FUEL CELL INDUSTRY DEVELOPMENT PLAN FINAL – APRIL 10, 2012 20 CONNECTICUT POTENTIAL TRANSPORTATION TARGETS Transportation is responsible for one-fourth of the total global GHG emissions and consumes 75 percent of the world’s oil production. In 2010, the U.S. used 21 million barrels of non-renewable petroleum each day. Roughly 32 percent of Connecticut’s energy consumption is due to demands of the transportation sector, including gasoline and on-highway diesel petroleum for automobiles, cars, trucks, and buses. A small percent of non-renewable petroleum is used for jet and ship fuel.60 The current economy in the U.S. is dependent on hydrocarbon energy sources and any disruption or shortage of this energy supply will severely affect many energy related activities, including transportation. As oil and other non-sustainable hydrocarbon energy resources become scarce, energy prices will increase and the reliability of supply will be reduced. Government and industry are now investigating the use of hydrogen and renewable energy as a replacement of hydrocarbon fuels. Hydrogen-fueled fuel cell electric vehicles (FCEVs) have many advantages over conventional technology, including: Quiet operation; Near zero emissions of controlled pollutants such as nitrous oxide, carbon monoxide, hydrocarbon gases or particulates; Substantial (30 to 50 percent) reduction in GHG emissions on a well-to-wheel basis compared to conventional gasoline or gasoline-hybrid vehicles when the hydrogen is produced by conventional methods such as natural gas; and 100 percent when hydrogen is produced from a clean energy source; Ability to fuel vehicles with indigenous energy sources which reduces dependence on imported energy and adds to energy security; and Higher efficiency than conventional vehicles (See Table 4).61,62 Table 17 - Average Energy Efficiency of Conventional and Fuel Cell Vehicles (mpge63 ) Passenger Car Light Truck Transit Bus Hydrogen Gasoline Hybrid Gasoline Hydrogen Gasoline Hydrogen Fuel Cell Diesel 52 50 29.3 49.2 21.5 5.4 3.9 FCEVs can reduce price volatility, dependence on oil, improve environmental performance, and provide greater efficiencies than conventional transportation technologies, as follows: Replacement of gasoline-fueled passenger vehicles and light duty trucks, and diesel-fueled transit buses with FCEVs could result in annual CO2 emission reductions (per vehicle) of approximately 10,170, 15,770, and 182,984 pounds per year, respectively.64 60 “US Oil Consumption to BP Spill”, http://applesfromoranges.com/2010/05/us-oil-consumption-to-bp-spill/, May31, 2010 61 “Challenges for Sustainable Mobility and Development of Fuel Cell Vehicles”, Masatami Takimoto, Executive Vice President, Toyota Motor Corporation, January 26, 2006.

  • 22. HYDROGEN AND FUEL CELL INDUSTRY DEVELOPMENT PLAN FINAL – APRIL 10, 2012 21 CONNECTICUT Replacement of gasoline-fueled passenger vehicles and light duty trucks, and diesel-fueled transit buses with FCEVs could result in annual energy savings (per vehicle) of approximately 230 gallons of gasoline (passenger vehicle), 485 gallons of gasoline (light duty truck) and 4,390 gallons of diesel (bus). Replacement of gasoline-fueled passenger vehicles, light duty trucks, and diesel-fueled transit buses with FCEVs could result in annual fuel cost savings of approximately $885 per passenger vehicle, $1,866 per light duty truck, and $17,560 per bus.65 Automobile manufacturers such as Toyota, General Motors, Honda, Daimler AG, and Hyundai have projected that models of their FCEVs will begin to roll out in larger numbers by 2015. Longer term, the U.S. DOE has projected that between 15.1 million and 23.9 million light duty FCEVs may be sold each year by 2050 and between 144 million and 347 million light duty FCEVs may be in use by 2050 with a transition to a hydrogen economy. These estimates could be accelerated if political, economic, energy security or environmental polices prompt a rapid advancement in alternative fuels.66 Strategic targets for the application of hydrogen for transportation include alternative fueling stations; Connecticut Department of Transportation (CDOT) refueling stations; bus transits operations; government, public, and privately owned fleets; and material handling and airport ground support equipment (GSE). Graphical representation of potential targets analyzed are depicted in Appendix I. Alternative Fueling Stations There are approximately 1,470 retail fueling stations in Connecticut;67 however, only 59 public and/or private stations within the state provide alternative fuels, such as biodiesel, compressed natural gas (CNG), liquid propane gas (LPG), electricity, and/or hydrogen for alternative-fueled vehicles.68 There are also approximately 33 refueling stations owned and operated by CDOT that can be used by authorities operating federal and state safety vehicles, state transit vehicles, and employees of universities that operate fleet vehicles on a regular basis.69 Development of hydrogen fueling at alternative fuel stations at selected locations owned and operated by CDOT would help facilitate the deployment of FCEVs within the state. (See Appendix I – Figure 12: Alternative Fueling Stations) Connecticut currently has two hydrogen refueling stations; the SunHydro facility located at Proton OnSite, in Wallingford, and UTC Power facility, located in South Windsor. A multi-fuel station, that would also include hydrogen, is currently being developed, and two other hydrogen fueling stations are in the process of being installed; one for the Greater New Haven Transit District and the Town of Hamden, in Hamden, and another at the CTTransit maintenance facility in Hartford, Connecticut. There are approximately 18 (including Connecticut locations) existing or planned transportation fueling stations in the Northeast region where hydrogen is provided as an alternative fuel.70,71,72 65 U.S. EIA, Weekly Retail Gasoline and Diesel Prices: gasoline - $3.847 and diesel – 4.00; www.eia.gov/dnav/pet/pet_pri_gnd_a_epm0r_pte_dpgal_w.htm 66 Effects of a Transition to a Hydrogen Economy on Employment in the United States: Report to Congress, http://www.hydrogen.energy.gov/congress_reports.html, August 2011 67 “Public retail gasoline stations state year” www.afdc.energy.gov/afdc/data/docs/gasoline_stations_state.xls, May 5, 2011 68 Alternative Fuels Data Center, www.afdc.energy.gov/afdc/locator/stations/ 69 EPA, “Government UST Noncompliance Report-2007”, www.epa.gov/oust/docs/CT%20Compliance%20Report.pdf 70 Alternative Fuels Data Center, http://www.afdc.energy.gov/afdc/locator/stations/ 71 Hyride, “About the fueling station”, http://www.hyride.org/html-about_hyride/About_Fueling.html 72 CTTransit, “Hartford Bus Facility Site Work (Phase 1)”, www.cttransit.com/Procurements/Display.asp?ProcurementID={8752CA67-AB1F-4D88-BCEC-4B82AC8A2542}, March, 2011
  • 23. HYDROGEN AND FUEL CELL INDUSTRY DEVELOPMENT PLAN FINAL – APRIL 10, 2012 22 CONNECTICUT Fleets There are over 3,500 fleet vehicles (excluding state and federal) classified as non-leasing or company owned vehicles in Connecticut.73 Fleet vehicles typically account for more than twice the amount of mileage, and therefore twice the fuel consumption and emissions, compared to personal vehicles on a per vehicle basis. There is an additional 5,000 passenger automobiles and/or light duty trucks in Connecticut, owned by state and federal agencies (excluding state police) that traveled a combined 37,065,180 miles in 2010, while releasing 3,248 metrics tons of CO2.74 Conversion of fleet vehicles from conventional fossil fuels to FCEVs could significantly reduce petroleum consumption and GHG emissions. Fleet vehicle hubs may be good candidates for hydrogen refueling and conversion to FCEVs because they mostly operate on fixed routes or within fixed districts and are fueled from a centralized station. Bus Transit There are approximately 670 directly operated buses that provide public transportation services in Connecticut.75 As discussed above, replacement of a conventional diesel transit bus with fuel cell transit bus would result in the reduction of CO2 emissions (estimated at approximately 183,000 pounds per year), and reduction of diesel fuel (estimated at approximately 4,390 gallons per year).76 Although the efficiency of conventional diesel buses has increased, conventional diesel buses, which typically achieve fuel economy performance levels of 3.9 miles per gallon, have the greatest potential for energy savings by using high efficiency fuel cells. In addition to Connecticut, other states have also begun the transition of fueling transit buses with alternative fuels to improve efficiency and environmental performance. Joining an earlier generation bus that began service in 2007, four next-generation fuel cell-powered hybrid-electric buses were introduced in Connecticut on October 15, 2010, and a sixth bus is expected in 2012. CDOT has constructed a separate hydrogen fuel cell bus garage at the CTTransit maintenance facility in Hartford, to make room for the growing fleet.77 Material Handling Material handling equipment such as forklifts are used by a variety of industries, including manufacturing, construction, mining, agriculture, food, retailers, and wholesale trade to move goods within a facility or to load goods for shipping to another site. Material handling equipment is usually battery, propane or diesel powered. Batteries that currently power material handling equipment are heavy and take up significant storage space while only providing up to 6 hours of run time. Fuel cells can ensure constant power delivery and performance, eliminating the reduction in voltage output that occurs as batteries discharge. Fuel cell powered material handling equipment last more than twice as long (12- 14 hours) and also eliminate the need for battery storage and charging rooms, leaving more space for products. In addition, fueling time only takes two to three minutes by the operator compared to least 20 minutes or more for each battery replacement, which saves the operator valuable time and increases warehouse productivity. In addition, fuel cell powered material handling equipment has significant cost advantages, compared to batteries, such as: 73 Fleet.com, “2009-My Registration”, www.automotive- fleet.com/Statistics/StatsViewer.aspx?file=http%3a%2f%2fwww.automotive-fleet.com%2ffc_resources%2fstats%2fAFFB10-16- top10-state.pdf&channel 74 State of Connecticut, “Energy Management Annual Report for State-Owned Buildings Fiscal Year 2010”, http://admin.state.ct.us/EnergyManagement/Documents/AnnualEnergyReport2010.pdf, November, 2010 75 NTD Date, “TS2.2 - Service Data and Operating Expenses Time-Series by System”, http://www.ntdprogram.gov/ntdprogram/data.htm, December 2011 76 Fuel Cell Economic Development Plan, Connecticut Department of Economic and Community Development and the Connecticut Center for Advanced Technology, Inc, January 1, 2008. 77 CTTRANSIT, “hydrogen Fuel Cell Bus Facility”, http://fuelcell.cttransit.com/index.php/ahead/fuel-cell-garage, May 19, 2011

Fuel cell powered material handling equipment is already in use at dozens of warehouses, distribution centers, and manufacturing plants in North America.78 Large corporations that are currently using or planning to use fuel cell powered material handling equipment include CVS, Coca-Cola, BMW, Central Grocers, and Wal-Mart (Refer to Appendix X for a partial list of companies in North America that use fuel cell powered forklifts).79 There are approximately 12 distribution centers/warehouse sites that have been identified in Connecticut that may benefit from the use of fuel cell powered material handling equipment (Appendix I – Figure 13: Distribution Centers/Warehouses). Ground Support Equipment Ground support equipment (GSE) such as catering trucks, deicers, and airport tugs can be battery operated or more commonly run on diesel or gasoline. As an alternative, hydrogen-powered tugs are being developed for both military and commercial applications. While their performance is similar to that of other battery-powered equipment, a fuel cell-powered GSE remains fully charged (provided there is hydrogen fuel available) and do not experience performance lag at the end of a shift like battery-powered GSEs.80 Potential large end-users of GSE that serve Connecticut’s largest airports include Air Canada, Air France, British Airways, Continental, Southwest Airlines, JetBlue United, and US Airways (Appendix I – Figure 11: Commercial Airports).81 Ports Ports in New London, New Haven, and Bridgeport Connecticut, which service large vessels, such as container ships, tankers, bulk carriers, and cruise ships, may be candidates for improved energy management. In one year, a single large container ship can emit pollutants equivalent to that of 50 million cars. The low grade bunker fuel used by the worlds 90,000 cargo ships contains up to 2,000 times the amount of sulfur compared to diesel fuel used in automobiles.82 While docked, vessels shut off their main engines but use auxiliary diesel and steam engines to power refrigeration, lights, pumps, and other functions. An estimated one-third of ship emissions occur while they are idling at berth. Replacing auxiliary engines with on-shore electric power could significantly reduce emissions, a process dubbed “cold-ironing”. The applications of fuel cell technology at ports may also provide electrical and thermal energy for improving energy management at warehouses, and equipment operated between terminals (Appendix I – Figure 13: Distribution Centers/Warehouses & Ports).83 Table 18 - Ports data Breakdown State Total Sites Potential Sites FC Units (300 Kw) MWs MWhrs (per year) Thermal Output (MMBTU) CO2 emissions (ton per year) CT (% of Region) 13 (11) 3 (16) 3 (16) 0.9 (16) 7,096 (16) 19,111 (16) 1,362 (13) 78 DOE EERE, “Early Markets: Fuel Cells for Material Handling Equipment”, www1.eere.energy.gov/hydrogenandfuelcells/education/pdfs/early_markets_forklifts.pdf, February 2011 79 Plug Power, “Plug Power Celebrates Successful year for Company’s Manufacturing and Sales Activity”, www.plugpower.com, January 4, 2011 80 Battelle, “Identification and Characterization of Near-Term Direct Hydrogen Proton Exchange Membrane Fuel Cell Markets”, April 2007, www1.eere.energy.gov/hydrogenandfuelcells/pdfs/pemfc_econ_2006_report_final_0407.pdf 81 Bradley Airport, “Arrivals”, http://www.bradleyairport.com/Flights/track.aspx?view=Arrivals, October, 2011 82 “Big polluters: one massive container ship equals 50 million cars”, Paul, Evans; http://www.gizmag.com/shipping-pollution/11526/, April 23,2009 83 Savemayportvillage.net, “Cruise Ship Pollution”, http://www.savemayportvillage.net/id20.html, October, 2011

If all suggested targets are satisfied by fuel cell(s) installations with 300 kW, a minimum of 938,196 MWh electric and 2.53 million MMBTUs (equivalent to 741,207 MWh) of thermal energy would be produced, which could reduce CO2 emissions by at least 277,289 tons per year.97 Connecticut can also benefit from the use of hydrogen and fuel cell technology for transportation such as passenger fleets, transit district fleets, municipal fleets and state department fleets. The application of hydrogen and fuel cell technology for transportation would reduce the dependence on oil, improve environmental performance and provide greater efficiencies than conventional transportation technologies. • Replacement of a gasoline-fueled passenger vehicle with FCEVs could result in annual CO2 emission reductions (per vehicle) of approximately 10,170 pounds, annual energy savings of 230 gallons of gasoline, and annual fuel cost savings of $885. • Replacement of a gasoline-fueled light duty truck with FCEVs could result in annual CO2 emission reductions (per light duty truck) of approximately 15,770 pounds, annual energy savings of 485 gallons of gasoline, and annual fuel cost savings of $1866. • Replacement of a diesel-fueled transit bus with a fuel cell powered bus could result in annual CO2 emission reductions (per bus) of approximately 182,984 pounds, annual energy savings of 4,390 gallons of fuel, and annual fuel cost savings of $17,560. Hydrogen and fuel cell technology also provides significant opportunities for job creation and/or economic development. Realizing approximately $500 million in revenue and investment from their participation in this regional cluster in 2010, the hydrogen and fuel cell industry in Connecticut is estimated to have contributed approximately $22 million in state and local tax revenue, and over $267 million in gross state product. Currently, there are approximately 600 Connecticut companies that are part of the growing hydrogen and fuel cell industry supply chain in the Northeast region. Eight of these companies are defined as OEMs, and were responsible for supplying 1,074 direct jobs and $254 million in direct revenue and investment in 2010. If newer/emerging hydrogen and fuel cell technology were to gain momentum, the number of companies and employment for the industry could grow substantially. 97 If all suggested targets are satisfied by fuel cell(s) installations with 400 kW, a minimum of 1.31million MWh electric and 6.17 million MMBTUs (equivalent to 1.81 million MWh) of thermal energy would be produced, which could reduce CO2 emissions by at least 368,165 tons per year.
