EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

There is the potential to generate at least 473000 megawatt hours (MWh) of electricity annually from

hydrogen and fuel cell technologies at host sites in the State of Maine through the development of 58 ndash 77

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 whether or not to deploy hydrogen

or fuel cell technology at a given location depends largely on their economic value compared to other

conventional or alternativerenewable technologies Consequently while many sites may be technically

viable for the application of fuel cell technology this plan focuses on fuel cell applications that are both

technically and economically viable

Locations that are both technically and economically viable include a wide range of private state and

federal buildings used for education food sales and services in-patient healthcare and public order and

safety Similarly viable sites include energy intensive industries wastewater treatment plants landfills

telecommunication site seaports and high-traffic airports

Currently Maine has at least 28 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 Mainersquos

hydrogen and fuel cell industry are estimated to have realized approximately $2 million in revenue and

investment contributed more than $113000 in state and local tax revenue and generated over $29

million in gross state product from their participation in this regional energy cluster in 2010

Hydrogen and fuel cell projects are becoming increasingly popular throughout the Northeast region

They can meet Maines demand for renewable energy reduce the states first-in-the-nation dependence on

foreign oil improve air and water quality and create local jobs 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

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

(Maine Vermont New Hampshire Massachusetts Rhode Island Connecticut New York and New

Jersey) with support from the United States (US) 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 technology1

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 VI

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 power 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 and 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 Virtually none of the earthrsquos

hydrogen is in a form that we can readily use in fuel cells or other energy applications Almost all

organic compounds which by definition contain carbon also contain hydrogen2 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 3

Capturing carbon emissions from natural gas reforming processes would further improve the

environmental advantages of a hydrogen economy Carbon can be sequestered more easily in converting

centralized natural gas to hydrogen rather than burning the natural gas 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

Hydrogen is the lightest element in the universe It also holds a great deal of potential energy which

makes it a good energy storage medium There is a lot of discussion about using hydrogen as an energy

source andor an energy storage medium There are also a number of firms looking at developing

hydrogen energy systems in Maine

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 Maine benefits from secondary impacts of indirect and

induced employment and revenue4 Furthermore Maine 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 strengths weaknesses opportunities

and threats (SWOT) assessment for Maine is provided in Appendix VII

Industries in the Northeast including those in Maine are facing increased pressure to reduce costs fuel

consumption and emissions that may be contributing to climate change Mainersquos relative proximity to

major load centers the high cost of electricity concerns over regional air quality available federal tax

incentives and legislative mandates in Maine 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 Mainersquos incentives and renewable energy programs

Some specific factors that are driving the market for hydrogen and fuel cell technology in Maine include

the following

The current Renewable Portfolio Standards (RPS) recognizes fuel cells and fuel cells that run on

renewable fuels as a ldquoClass Irdquo renewable energy sources and calls for an increase in renewable

energy used in the state from its current level of approximately three percent to approximately ten

percent by 2017 ndash promotes stationary power and transportation applications

5

Net Metering ndash In June 2011 Gov Paul LePage signed legislation requiring the Maine Public

Utilities Commission (PUC) to amend the net energy rules to develop contract terms for net

energy billing and interconnection agreements Furthermore the bill allows the PUC to amend

net energy billing rules following routine technical rules and will enable the PUC to amend net

energy billing without having to send the amendments to the legislature for approval ndash promotes

stationary power applications6

Maine is one of the states in the ten-state region that is part of the Regional Greenhouse Gas

Initiative (RGGI) the nationrsquos first mandatory market-based program to reduce emissions of

carbon dioxide (CO2) RGGIs goals are to stabilize and cap emissions at 188 million tons

annually from 2009-2014 and to reduce CO2-emissions by 25 percent per year from 2015-20187

ndash promotes stationary power and transportation applications

In June 2009 Maine enacted the Act regarding Maines energy future that established the

Efficiency Maine Trust which is responsible for creating a plan to reach the following energy

efficiency targets

o 100 MW reduction in peak-load electricity consumption by 2020

o 30 percent reduction in electricity and natural gas consumption

o 20 percent reduction in heating fuel consumption

The Finance Authority of Maine (Authority) manages the Clean Fuel Vehicle Fund which is a

non-lapsing revolving loan fund that may be used for direct loans and grants to support

production distribution and consumption of clean fuels and biofuels (including fuel cells) The

Authority may also insure up to 100 percent of a loan for a clean fuel or biofuel project ndash

promotes transportation applications9

By December 1 2012 the Maine Office of Energy Independence and Security (Office) must

develop a plan to reduce petroleum consumption in all sectors of the economy with the overall

goal of reducing petroleum consumption in the state by at least 30 percent and 50 percent based

on 2007 levels by 2030 and 2050 respectively ndash promotes transportation applications10

Maine has established a policy that prohibits the Maine State Purchasing Agent from purchasing

or leasing any car or light-duty truck for use by any state department or agency unless the car or

truck has a manufacturers estimated highway mileage rating of at least 45 miles per gallon (mpg)

or 35 mpg respectively ndash promotes transportation applications11

The Transportation Efficiency Fund is a non-lapsing fund managed by the Maine Department of

Transportation to increase energy efficiency and reduce reliance on fossil fuels within the states

transportation system Funding may be used for zero emission vehicles biofuel and other

alternative fuel vehicles congestion mitigation and air quality initiatives rail public transit and

car or van pooling ndash promotes transportation applications12

ECONOMIC IMPACT

The hydrogen and fuel cell industry has direct indirect and induced impacts on local and regional

economies 13

A new hydrogen andor fuel cell project directly affects the arearsquos 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

Maine is home to at least 28 companies that are part of the growing hydrogen and fuel cell industry

supply chain in the Northeast region Appendix V lists the hydrogen and fuel cell supply chain companies

in Maine Realizing over $2 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 (RampD) coating applications and managing of venture

capital funds 14

Furthermore the hydrogen and fuel cell industry is estimated to have contributed

approximately $113000 in state and local tax revenue and over $29 million in gross state product

POTENTIAL STATIONARY TARGETS

In 2009 Maine consumed the equivalent of 12614 million megawatt-hours of energy from the

transportation residential industrial and commercial sectors16

Electricity consumption in Maine was

approximately 113 million MWh and is forecasted to grow at a rate of 09 percent annually over the next

decade1718

Figure 1 illustrates the percent of total energy consumed by each sector in Maine A more

detailed breakout of energy usage is provided in Appendix II

This demand represents approximately nine percent of the population in New England and nine percent of

the regionrsquos total electricity consumption The State relies on both in-state resources and imports of

power over the regionrsquos transmission system to serve electricity to customers Net electrical demand in

Maine industries was 1288 MW in 2009 and is projected to increase by approximately 50 MW by 2015

Further the statersquos overall electricity demand is forecasted to grow at a rate of 09 percent (15 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

3400 MW in total capacity of generation plants Maine represents 11 percent of the total capacity in New

England As shown in Figure 2 natural gas was the primary energy source for electricity consumed in

Maine for 2009 19

Fuel cell systems have many advantages over conventional technologies including

High fuel-to-electricity efficiency (gt 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 systems20

Fuel cells can be deployed as a CHP technology that provides both power and thermal energy and can

increase 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 emissions21

Based on the

targets identified within this plan there is the potential to develop at least 58 MWs of stationary fuel cell

generation capacity in Maine which would provide the following benefits annually

Production of approximately 473000 MWh of electricity

Production of approximately 127 million MMBTUs of thermal energy

Reduction of CO2 emissions of approximately 90000 tons (electric generation only)22

For the purpose of this plan applications have been explored with a focus on fuel cells in the 300 kW to

400 kW range 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 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 high electricity consumption selected government

buildings public works facilities and energy intensive industries

The Energy Information Agencys (EIA) Commercial Building Energy Consumption Survey (CBECS_

identifies the building types listed below as having high electricity consumption They are the best

candidates for on-site generation and CHP applications These selected building types making up the

CBECS subcategory within the commercial industry include

Education

Food Sales

Food Services

Inpatient Healthcare

Lodging

Public Order amp Safety23

As illustrated in Figure 3 these selected building types within the commercial sector is estimated to

account for approximately 15 percent of Mainersquos total electrical consumption Appendix II further

Education

There are approximately 145 non-public schools and 780 public schools (134 of which are considered

high schools with 100 or more students enrolled) in Maine2425

High schools operate for a longer period

of time daily due to extracurricular after school activities such as clubs and athletics Furthermore two

of these schools have swimming pools which may make these sites especially attractive because it would

increase the utilization of and make more efficient the electrical and thermal output offered by a fuel cell

There are also 39 colleges and universities in Maine Colleges and universities have facilities for

students faculty administration and maintenance crews that typically include dormitories cafeterias

gyms libraries and athletic departments ndash some with swimming pools Of these 173 locations (134 high

schools and 39 colleges) 65 are located in communities serviced by natural gas (Appendix I ndash Figure 1

Food Sales

There are over 1800 businesses in Maine known to be engaged in the retail sale of food Food sales

establishments are good candidates for fuel cells based on their electrical demand and thermal

requirements for heating and refrigeration Approximately 80 of these sites are considered larger food

sales businesses with approximately 60 or more employees at their site 26

Of these 80 large food sales

businesses 45 are located in communities serviced by natural gas (Appendix I ndash Figure 2 Food Sales)27

The application of a large fuel cell (gt300 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 Wholefoods and Stop and Shop have shown

interest in powering their stores with fuel cells in Massachusetts Connecticut and New York28

In

addition grocery distribution centers like the one operated by Shaws (a Supervalu brand) in Wells

Maine 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 2100 businesses in Maine that can be classified as food service establishments used for

the preparation and sale of food and beverages for consumption29

15 of these sites are considered larger

restaurant businesses with 130 or more employees at their site and are located in Maine communities

serviced by natural gas (Appendix I ndash Figure 3 Food Services)30

The application of a large fuel cell

(gt300 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

load31

In other parts of the US popular chains such as McDonalds are beginning to show an interest in

the smaller sized fuel cell units for the provision of electricity and thermal energy including domestic

water heating at food service establishments32

26

On average food sale facilities consume 43000 kWh of electricity per worker on an annual basis When compared to current

fuel cell technology (gt300 kW) which satisfies annual electricity consumption loads between 2628000 ndash 3504000 kWh

calculations show food sales facilities employing more than 61 workers may represent favorable opportunities for the application

of a larger fuel cell 27 EIA Description of CBECS Building Types wwweiagovemeucbecsbuilding_typeshtml 28 Clean Energy States Alliance (CESA) ldquoFuel Cells for Supermarkets ndash Cleaner Energy with Fuel Cell Combined Heat and

Inpatient Healthcare

There are over 181 inpatient healthcare facilities in Maine 42 of which are classified as hospitals33

Of

these 42 hospitals eight are located in communities serviced by natural gas and contain 100 or more beds

onsite (Appendix I ndash 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 247 with a relatively flat load curve Furthermore medical equipment patient

rooms sterilizedoperating 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 a fuel cell Nationally hospital energy costs have increased 56 percent from $389 per square foot

in 2003 to $607 per square foot for 2010 partially due to the increased cost of energy34

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 730 establishments specializing in

travellodging accommodations that include hotels motels or

inns in Maine Approximately 33 of these establishments

have 150 or more rooms onsite and can be classified as

ldquolarger sizedrdquo lodging that may have additional attributes

such as heated pools exercise facilities andor restaurants 35

Of these 33 locations 15 employ more than 94 workers and

are located in communities serviced by natural gas 36

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 37

Government Owned Buildings

Buildings operated by the federal government can be found at 114 locations in Maine four of these

properties are actively owned rather than leased by the federal government and are located in

communities serviced by natural gas (Appendix I ndash Figure 8 Federal Government Operated Buildings)

There are also a number of buildings owned and operated by the State of Maine The application of fuel

Wireless Telecommunication Sites

Telecommunications companies rely on electricity to run call centers cell phone towers and other vital

equipment In Maine there are approximately 509 telecommunications andor wireless company tower

sites (Appendix I ndash 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 this is typically accomplished with batteries or

conventional emergency generators48

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 back-up power is a T-Mobile facility located in Storrs Connecticut

Wastewater Treatment Plants (WWTPs) There are 111 WWTPs in Maine that have design flows ranging from 3000 gallons per day (GPD) to 16

million gallons per day (MGD) seven of these facilities average between 3 ndash 16 MGD WWTPs

typically operate 247 and may be able to utilize the thermal energy from the fuel cell to process fats oils

and grease49

WWTPs account for approximately three percent of the electric load in the United State50

Digester gas produced at WWTPrsquos 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 methane51

Most facilities currently represent a

lost opportunity to capture and use the digestion of methane emissions created from their operations

(Appendix I ndash Figure 10 Solid and Liquid Waste Sites) 5253

A 200 kW fuel cell power plant in Yonkers New York was the worldrsquos first commercial fuel cell to run

on a waste gas created at a wastewater treatment plant The fuel cell generates about 1600 MWh of

electricity a year and reduces methane emissions released to the environment54

Landfill Methane Outreach Program (LMOP)

There are 11 landfills in Maine identified by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) through their

LMOP program two of which are operational two are candidates and six are considered potential sites

for the production and recovery of methane gas 5657

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 ndash Figure 10 Solid

Ensuring safe operations of commercial and private aircrafts are the responsibility of air traffic

controllers Modern software host computers voice communication systems and instituted full scale

glide path angle capabilities assist air traffic controllers in tracking and communicating with aircrafts

consequently reliable electricity is extremely important and present an opportunity for a fuel cell power

POTENTIAL TRANSPORTATION TARGETS

Transportation is responsible for one-fourth of the total global GHG emissions and consumes 75 percent

of the worldrsquos oil production In 2010 the US used 21 million barrels of non-renewable petroleum each

day Roughly 29 percent of Mainersquos energy consumption is due to demands of the transportation sector

including gasoline and on-highway diesel petroleum for automobiles trucks and buses A small percent

of non-renewable petroleum is used for jet and ship fuel62

The current economy in the US 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)6364

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

10170 15770 and 182984 pounds per year respectively66

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 4390

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 $1866 per light duty truck and $17560 per bus67

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

US DOE has projected that between 151 million and 239 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 fuels68

Mainersquos opportunities to support these new vehicles include alternative fueling stations Maine

Department of Transportation (MDOT) refueling stations bus transit operations government public and

privately owned fleets and material handling and airport ground support equipment (GSE) Graphical

representation of these opportunities analyzed are depicted in Appendix I

Alternative Fueling Stations

There are approximately 1400 retail fueling stations in Maine69

however only 10 public andor private

stations within the state provide alternative fuels such as biodiesel compressed natural gas propane

andor electricity for alternative-fueled vehicles70

There are also at least 17 refueling stations owned and

operated by MDOT 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 71

Development of

hydrogen fueling at alternative fuel stations and at selected locations owned and operated by MDOT

would help facilitate the deployment of FCEVs within the state (Appendix I ndash Figure 12 Alternative

Fueling Stations) Currently there are approximately 18 existing or planned transportation fueling

stations in the Northeast region where hydrogen is provided as an alternative fuel72737475

Fleets

There are over 7000 fleet vehicles (excluding state and federal vehicles) classified as non-leasing or

company owned vehicles in Maine 76

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 are an additional 1781 passenger automobiles andor light duty trucks in Maine

owned by state and federal agencies (excluding state police) that traveled a combined 14965373 miles in

2010 while releasing 1031 metrics tons of CO2 77

Conversion of fleet vehicles from conventional fossil

fuels to FCEVs could significantly reduce petroleum consumption and GHG emissions Fleet vehicle

hubs are 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 61 directly operated buses that provide public transportation services in Maine78

As discussed above replacement of a conventional diesel transit bus with a fuel cell transit bus would

result in the reduction of CO2 emissions (estimated at approximately 183000 pounds per year) and

reduction of diesel fuel (estimated at approximately 4390 gallons per year)79

Although the efficiency of

conventional diesel buses has increased conventional diesel buses which typically achieve fuel economy

performance levels of 39 miles per gallon have the greatest potential for energy savings by using high

efficiency fuel cells In addition to Maine other states have also begun the transition of fueling transit

buses with alternative fuels to improve efficiency and environmental performance

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

15 times lower maintenance cost

8 times lower refuelingrecharging labor cost

2 times lower net present value of total operations and management (OampM) system cost

hydrogen fuel available) and do not experience performance lag at the end of a shift like battery-powered

GSEs82

Potential large end-users of GSE that serve Mainersquos largest airports include Air Canada Delta

Airlines Continental JetBlue United and US Airways83

(Appendix I ndash Figure 11 Commercial

Ports

Maine has 3480 miles of coastline with six cargo ports and 13 cruise ship ports The ports of Portland

and Bath Maine which service large vessels such as container ships tankers bulk carriers and cruise

ships may be candidates for improved energy management Commercial marine vessels (cargo ships

entering and leaving Marine ports) contribute approximately 166 tons of volatile organic compounds

(VOC) 1134 tons of NOX 374 tons of CO 124 tons of sulfur dioxide SO2 and 91 tons of particulate

matter (PM10) per year84

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 90000 cargo ships contains up to 2000 times the amount of

sulfur compared to diesel fuel used in automobiles85

Furthermore diesel emissions from cruise ships

while at port are a significant source of air pollution While docked vessels shut off their main engines

but use auxiliary diesel and steam engines to power refrigeration lights pumps and other functions a

process called ldquocold-ironing 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

The applications of fuel cell technology at ports may also provide electric and thermal energy for

improving energy management for warehouses and equipment operated between terminals (Appendix I ndash

Total 7159+ 266 74 192

As shown in Table 5 the analysis provided here estimates that there are approximately 266 potential

locations which may be favorable candidates for the application of a fuel cell to provide heat and power

Assuming the demand for electricity was uniform throughout the year approximately 150 to 192 fuel cell

units with a capacity of 300 ndash 400 kW could be deployed for a total fuel cell capacity of 58 to 77 MWs

If opportunities for fuel cell use in Maine identified in this report are met with 300 kW units a minimum

of 473040 MWh electric and 127 million MMBTUs (equivalent to 373404 MWh) of thermal energy

would be produced which could reduce CO2 emissions by at least 90824 tons per year 100

Maine 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

bull Replacement of a gasoline-fueled passenger vehicle with FCEVs could result in annual CO2

emission reductions (per vehicle) of approximately 10170 pounds annual energy savings of 230

gallons of gasoline and annual fuel cost savings of $885

bull Replacement of a gasoline-fueled light duty truck with FCEVs could result in annual CO2

emission reductions (per light duty truck) of approximately 15770 pounds annual energy savings

of 485 gallons of gasoline and annual fuel cost savings of $1866

bull Replacement of a diesel-fueled transit bus with a fuel cell powered bus could result in annual CO2

emission reductions (per bus) of approximately 182984 pounds annual energy savings of 4390

gallons of fuel and annual fuel cost savings of $17560

Hydrogen and fuel cell technology also provides significant opportunities for job creation andor

economic development Realizing over $2 million in revenue and investment in 2010 the hydrogen and

fuel cell industry in Maine is estimated to have contributed approximately $113000 in state and local tax

revenue and over $29 million in gross state product Currently there are at least 30 Maine companies

that are part of the growing hydrogen and fuel cell industry supply chain in the Northeast region If

neweremerging hydrogen and fuel cell technology were to gain momentum the number of companies

and employment for the industry could grow substantially

99 Airport facilities with 2500+ annual Enplanement Counts andor AASF 100

If opportunities for fuel cell use in Maine identified in this report are met with 400 kW units a minimum of 665760 MWh

electric and 312 million MMBTUs (equivalent to 915127 MWh) of thermal energy would be produced which could reduce CO2

emissions by at least 127826 tons per year

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

There is the potential to generate at least 473000 megawatt hours (MWh) of electricity annually from

hydrogen and fuel cell technologies at host sites in the State of Maine through the development of 58 ndash 77

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 whether or not to deploy hydrogen

or fuel cell technology at a given location depends largely on their economic value compared to other

conventional or alternativerenewable technologies Consequently while many sites may be technically

viable for the application of fuel cell technology this plan focuses on fuel cell applications that are both

technically and economically viable

Locations that are both technically and economically viable include a wide range of private state and

federal buildings used for education food sales and services in-patient healthcare and public order and

safety Similarly viable sites include energy intensive industries wastewater treatment plants landfills

telecommunication site seaports and high-traffic airports

Currently Maine has at least 28 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 Mainersquos

hydrogen and fuel cell industry are estimated to have realized approximately $2 million in revenue and

investment contributed more than $113000 in state and local tax revenue and generated over $29

million in gross state product from their participation in this regional energy cluster in 2010

Hydrogen and fuel cell projects are becoming increasingly popular throughout the Northeast region

They can meet Maines demand for renewable energy reduce the states first-in-the-nation dependence on

foreign oil improve air and water quality and create local jobs 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

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

(Maine Vermont New Hampshire Massachusetts Rhode Island Connecticut New York and New

Jersey) with support from the United States (US) 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 technology1

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 VI

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 power 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 and 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 Virtually none of the earthrsquos

hydrogen is in a form that we can readily use in fuel cells or other energy applications Almost all

organic compounds which by definition contain carbon also contain hydrogen2 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 3

Capturing carbon emissions from natural gas reforming processes would further improve the

environmental advantages of a hydrogen economy Carbon can be sequestered more easily in converting

centralized natural gas to hydrogen rather than burning the natural gas 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

Hydrogen is the lightest element in the universe It also holds a great deal of potential energy which

makes it a good energy storage medium There is a lot of discussion about using hydrogen as an energy

source andor an energy storage medium There are also a number of firms looking at developing

hydrogen energy systems in Maine

The Northeast hydrogen and fuel cell industry while still emerging currently has an economic impact of

over $1 Billion of total revenue and investment Maine benefits from secondary impacts of indirect and

induced employment and revenue4 Furthermore Maine 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 strengths weaknesses opportunities

and threats (SWOT) assessment for Maine is provided in Appendix VII

Industries in the Northeast including those in Maine are facing increased pressure to reduce costs fuel

consumption and emissions that may be contributing to climate change Mainersquos relative proximity to

major load centers the high cost of electricity concerns over regional air quality available federal tax

incentives and legislative mandates in Maine 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 Mainersquos incentives and renewable energy programs

Some specific factors that are driving the market for hydrogen and fuel cell technology in Maine include

the following

The current Renewable Portfolio Standards (RPS) recognizes fuel cells and fuel cells that run on

renewable fuels as a ldquoClass Irdquo renewable energy sources and calls for an increase in renewable

energy used in the state from its current level of approximately three percent to approximately ten

percent by 2017 ndash promotes stationary power and transportation applications

5

Net Metering ndash In June 2011 Gov Paul LePage signed legislation requiring the Maine Public

Utilities Commission (PUC) to amend the net energy rules to develop contract terms for net

energy billing and interconnection agreements Furthermore the bill allows the PUC to amend

net energy billing rules following routine technical rules and will enable the PUC to amend net

energy billing without having to send the amendments to the legislature for approval ndash promotes

stationary power applications6

Maine is one of the states in the ten-state region that is part of the Regional Greenhouse Gas

Initiative (RGGI) the nationrsquos first mandatory market-based program to reduce emissions of

carbon dioxide (CO2) RGGIs goals are to stabilize and cap emissions at 188 million tons

annually from 2009-2014 and to reduce CO2-emissions by 25 percent per year from 2015-20187

ndash promotes stationary power and transportation applications

In June 2009 Maine enacted the Act regarding Maines energy future that established the

Efficiency Maine Trust which is responsible for creating a plan to reach the following energy

efficiency targets

o 100 MW reduction in peak-load electricity consumption by 2020

o 30 percent reduction in electricity and natural gas consumption

o 20 percent reduction in heating fuel consumption

By December 1 2012 the Maine Office of Energy Independence and Security (Office) must

develop a plan to reduce petroleum consumption in all sectors of the economy with the overall

goal of reducing petroleum consumption in the state by at least 30 percent and 50 percent based

on 2007 levels by 2030 and 2050 respectively ndash promotes transportation applications10

Maine has established a policy that prohibits the Maine State Purchasing Agent from purchasing

or leasing any car or light-duty truck for use by any state department or agency unless the car or

truck has a manufacturers estimated highway mileage rating of at least 45 miles per gallon (mpg)

or 35 mpg respectively ndash promotes transportation applications11

ECONOMIC IMPACT

The hydrogen and fuel cell industry has direct indirect and induced impacts on local and regional

economies 13

A new hydrogen andor fuel cell project directly affects the arearsquos 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

Maine is home to at least 28 companies that are part of the growing hydrogen and fuel cell industry

supply chain in the Northeast region Appendix V lists the hydrogen and fuel cell supply chain companies

in Maine Realizing over $2 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 (RampD) coating applications and managing of venture

capital funds 14

Furthermore the hydrogen and fuel cell industry is estimated to have contributed

approximately $113000 in state and local tax revenue and over $29 million in gross state product

POTENTIAL STATIONARY TARGETS

In 2009 Maine consumed the equivalent of 12614 million megawatt-hours of energy from the

transportation residential industrial and commercial sectors16

Electricity consumption in Maine was

approximately 113 million MWh and is forecasted to grow at a rate of 09 percent annually over the next

decade1718

Figure 1 illustrates the percent of total energy consumed by each sector in Maine A more

detailed breakout of energy usage is provided in Appendix II

This demand represents approximately nine percent of the population in New England and nine percent of

the regionrsquos total electricity consumption The State relies on both in-state resources and imports of

power over the regionrsquos transmission system to serve electricity to customers Net electrical demand in

Maine industries was 1288 MW in 2009 and is projected to increase by approximately 50 MW by 2015

Further the statersquos overall electricity demand is forecasted to grow at a rate of 09 percent (15 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

3400 MW in total capacity of generation plants Maine represents 11 percent of the total capacity in New

England As shown in Figure 2 natural gas was the primary energy source for electricity consumed in

Maine for 2009 19

Fuel cell systems have many advantages over conventional technologies including

High fuel-to-electricity efficiency (gt 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 systems20

Fuel cells can be deployed as a CHP technology that provides both power and thermal energy and can

increase 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 emissions21

Based on the

targets identified within this plan there is the potential to develop at least 58 MWs of stationary fuel cell

generation capacity in Maine which would provide the following benefits annually

Production of approximately 473000 MWh of electricity

Production of approximately 127 million MMBTUs of thermal energy

Reduction of CO2 emissions of approximately 90000 tons (electric generation only)22

For the purpose of this plan applications have been explored with a focus on fuel cells in the 300 kW to

400 kW range 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 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 high electricity consumption selected government

buildings public works facilities and energy intensive industries

The Energy Information Agencys (EIA) Commercial Building Energy Consumption Survey (CBECS_

identifies the building types listed below as having high electricity consumption They are the best

candidates for on-site generation and CHP applications These selected building types making up the

CBECS subcategory within the commercial industry include

Education

Food Sales

Food Services

Inpatient Healthcare

Lodging

Public Order amp Safety23

As illustrated in Figure 3 these selected building types within the commercial sector is estimated to

account for approximately 15 percent of Mainersquos total electrical consumption Appendix II further

High schools operate for a longer period

of time daily due to extracurricular after school activities such as clubs and athletics Furthermore two

of these schools have swimming pools which may make these sites especially attractive because it would

increase the utilization of and make more efficient the electrical and thermal output offered by a fuel cell

There are also 39 colleges and universities in Maine Colleges and universities have facilities for

students faculty administration and maintenance crews that typically include dormitories cafeterias

gyms libraries and athletic departments ndash some with swimming pools Of these 173 locations (134 high

schools and 39 colleges) 65 are located in communities serviced by natural gas (Appendix I ndash Figure 1

Food Sales

There are over 1800 businesses in Maine known to be engaged in the retail sale of food Food sales

establishments are good candidates for fuel cells based on their electrical demand and thermal

requirements for heating and refrigeration Approximately 80 of these sites are considered larger food

sales businesses with approximately 60 or more employees at their site 26

Of these 80 large food sales

businesses 45 are located in communities serviced by natural gas (Appendix I ndash Figure 2 Food Sales)27

The application of a large fuel cell (gt300 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 Wholefoods and Stop and Shop have shown

interest in powering their stores with fuel cells in Massachusetts Connecticut and New York28

In

addition grocery distribution centers like the one operated by Shaws (a Supervalu brand) in Wells

Maine 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 2100 businesses in Maine that can be classified as food service establishments used for

the preparation and sale of food and beverages for consumption29

15 of these sites are considered larger

restaurant businesses with 130 or more employees at their site and are located in Maine communities

serviced by natural gas (Appendix I ndash Figure 3 Food Services)30

The application of a large fuel cell

(gt300 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

load31

In other parts of the US popular chains such as McDonalds are beginning to show an interest in

the smaller sized fuel cell units for the provision of electricity and thermal energy including domestic

water heating at food service establishments32

26

On average food sale facilities consume 43000 kWh of electricity per worker on an annual basis When compared to current

fuel cell technology (gt300 kW) which satisfies annual electricity consumption loads between 2628000 ndash 3504000 kWh

calculations show food sales facilities employing more than 61 workers may represent favorable opportunities for the application

of a larger fuel cell 27 EIA Description of CBECS Building Types wwweiagovemeucbecsbuilding_typeshtml 28 Clean Energy States Alliance (CESA) ldquoFuel Cells for Supermarkets ndash Cleaner Energy with Fuel Cell Combined Heat and

Inpatient Healthcare

There are over 181 inpatient healthcare facilities in Maine 42 of which are classified as hospitals33

Of

these 42 hospitals eight are located in communities serviced by natural gas and contain 100 or more beds

onsite (Appendix I ndash 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 247 with a relatively flat load curve Furthermore medical equipment patient

rooms sterilizedoperating 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 a fuel cell Nationally hospital energy costs have increased 56 percent from $389 per square foot

in 2003 to $607 per square foot for 2010 partially due to the increased cost of energy34

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 730 establishments specializing in

travellodging accommodations that include hotels motels or

inns in Maine Approximately 33 of these establishments

have 150 or more rooms onsite and can be classified as

ldquolarger sizedrdquo lodging that may have additional attributes

such as heated pools exercise facilities andor restaurants 35

Of these 33 locations 15 employ more than 94 workers and

are located in communities serviced by natural gas 36

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

Government Owned Buildings

Buildings operated by the federal government can be found at 114 locations in Maine four of these

properties are actively owned rather than leased by the federal government and are located in

communities serviced by natural gas (Appendix I ndash Figure 8 Federal Government Operated Buildings)

There are also a number of buildings owned and operated by the State of Maine The application of fuel

cell technology at government owned buildings would assist in balancing load requirements at these sites

Wireless Telecommunication Sites

Telecommunications companies rely on electricity to run call centers cell phone towers and other vital

equipment In Maine there are approximately 509 telecommunications andor wireless company tower

sites (Appendix I ndash 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 this is typically accomplished with batteries or

conventional emergency generators48

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 back-up power is a T-Mobile facility located in Storrs Connecticut

Wastewater Treatment Plants (WWTPs) There are 111 WWTPs in Maine that have design flows ranging from 3000 gallons per day (GPD) to 16

million gallons per day (MGD) seven of these facilities average between 3 ndash 16 MGD WWTPs

typically operate 247 and may be able to utilize the thermal energy from the fuel cell to process fats oils

and grease49

WWTPs account for approximately three percent of the electric load in the United State50

Digester gas produced at WWTPrsquos 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 methane51

Most facilities currently represent a

lost opportunity to capture and use the digestion of methane emissions created from their operations

(Appendix I ndash Figure 10 Solid and Liquid Waste Sites) 5253

A 200 kW fuel cell power plant in Yonkers New York was the worldrsquos first commercial fuel cell to run

on a waste gas created at a wastewater treatment plant The fuel cell generates about 1600 MWh of

electricity a year and reduces methane emissions released to the environment54

Landfill Methane Outreach Program (LMOP)

There are 11 landfills in Maine identified by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) through their

LMOP program two of which are operational two are candidates and six are considered potential sites

for the production and recovery of methane gas 5657

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 ndash Figure 10 Solid

Ensuring safe operations of commercial and private aircrafts are the responsibility of air traffic

controllers Modern software host computers voice communication systems and instituted full scale

glide path angle capabilities assist air traffic controllers in tracking and communicating with aircrafts

consequently reliable electricity is extremely important and present an opportunity for a fuel cell power

POTENTIAL TRANSPORTATION TARGETS

Transportation is responsible for one-fourth of the total global GHG emissions and consumes 75 percent

of the worldrsquos oil production In 2010 the US used 21 million barrels of non-renewable petroleum each

day Roughly 29 percent of Mainersquos energy consumption is due to demands of the transportation sector

including gasoline and on-highway diesel petroleum for automobiles trucks and buses A small percent

of non-renewable petroleum is used for jet and ship fuel62

The current economy in the US 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)6364

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

10170 15770 and 182984 pounds per year respectively66

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 4390

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 $1866 per light duty truck and $17560 per bus67

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

US DOE has projected that between 151 million and 239 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 fuels68

Mainersquos opportunities to support these new vehicles include alternative fueling stations Maine

Department of Transportation (MDOT) refueling stations bus transit operations government public and

privately owned fleets and material handling and airport ground support equipment (GSE) Graphical

representation of these opportunities analyzed are depicted in Appendix I

Alternative Fueling Stations

There are approximately 1400 retail fueling stations in Maine69

however only 10 public andor private

stations within the state provide alternative fuels such as biodiesel compressed natural gas propane

andor electricity for alternative-fueled vehicles70

There are also at least 17 refueling stations owned and

operated by MDOT 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 71

Development of

hydrogen fueling at alternative fuel stations and at selected locations owned and operated by MDOT

would help facilitate the deployment of FCEVs within the state (Appendix I ndash Figure 12 Alternative

Fueling Stations) Currently there are approximately 18 existing or planned transportation fueling

stations in the Northeast region where hydrogen is provided as an alternative fuel72737475

Fleets

There are over 7000 fleet vehicles (excluding state and federal vehicles) classified as non-leasing or

company owned vehicles in Maine 76

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 are an additional 1781 passenger automobiles andor light duty trucks in Maine

owned by state and federal agencies (excluding state police) that traveled a combined 14965373 miles in

2010 while releasing 1031 metrics tons of CO2 77

Conversion of fleet vehicles from conventional fossil

fuels to FCEVs could significantly reduce petroleum consumption and GHG emissions Fleet vehicle

hubs are 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 61 directly operated buses that provide public transportation services in Maine78

As discussed above replacement of a conventional diesel transit bus with a fuel cell transit bus would

result in the reduction of CO2 emissions (estimated at approximately 183000 pounds per year) and

reduction of diesel fuel (estimated at approximately 4390 gallons per year)79

Although the efficiency of

conventional diesel buses has increased conventional diesel buses which typically achieve fuel economy

performance levels of 39 miles per gallon have the greatest potential for energy savings by using high

efficiency fuel cells In addition to Maine other states have also begun the transition of fueling transit

buses with alternative fuels to improve efficiency and environmental performance

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

15 times lower maintenance cost

8 times lower refuelingrecharging labor cost

2 times lower net present value of total operations and management (OampM) system cost

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

Ports

Maine has 3480 miles of coastline with six cargo ports and 13 cruise ship ports The ports of Portland

and Bath Maine which service large vessels such as container ships tankers bulk carriers and cruise

ships may be candidates for improved energy management Commercial marine vessels (cargo ships

entering and leaving Marine ports) contribute approximately 166 tons of volatile organic compounds

(VOC) 1134 tons of NOX 374 tons of CO 124 tons of sulfur dioxide SO2 and 91 tons of particulate

matter (PM10) per year84

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 90000 cargo ships contains up to 2000 times the amount of

sulfur compared to diesel fuel used in automobiles85

Furthermore diesel emissions from cruise ships

while at port are a significant source of air pollution While docked vessels shut off their main engines

but use auxiliary diesel and steam engines to power refrigeration lights pumps and other functions a

process called ldquocold-ironing 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

The applications of fuel cell technology at ports may also provide electric and thermal energy for

improving energy management for warehouses and equipment operated between terminals (Appendix I ndash

Total 7159+ 266 74 192

As shown in Table 5 the analysis provided here estimates that there are approximately 266 potential

locations which may be favorable candidates for the application of a fuel cell to provide heat and power

Assuming the demand for electricity was uniform throughout the year approximately 150 to 192 fuel cell

units with a capacity of 300 ndash 400 kW could be deployed for a total fuel cell capacity of 58 to 77 MWs

If opportunities for fuel cell use in Maine identified in this report are met with 300 kW units a minimum

of 473040 MWh electric and 127 million MMBTUs (equivalent to 373404 MWh) of thermal energy

would be produced which could reduce CO2 emissions by at least 90824 tons per year 100

Maine 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

bull Replacement of a gasoline-fueled passenger vehicle with FCEVs could result in annual CO2

emission reductions (per vehicle) of approximately 10170 pounds annual energy savings of 230

gallons of gasoline and annual fuel cost savings of $885

bull Replacement of a gasoline-fueled light duty truck with FCEVs could result in annual CO2

emission reductions (per light duty truck) of approximately 15770 pounds annual energy savings

of 485 gallons of gasoline and annual fuel cost savings of $1866

bull Replacement of a diesel-fueled transit bus with a fuel cell powered bus could result in annual CO2

emission reductions (per bus) of approximately 182984 pounds annual energy savings of 4390

gallons of fuel and annual fuel cost savings of $17560

Hydrogen and fuel cell technology also provides significant opportunities for job creation andor

economic development Realizing over $2 million in revenue and investment in 2010 the hydrogen and

fuel cell industry in Maine is estimated to have contributed approximately $113000 in state and local tax

revenue and over $29 million in gross state product Currently there are at least 30 Maine companies

that are part of the growing hydrogen and fuel cell industry supply chain in the Northeast region If

neweremerging hydrogen and fuel cell technology were to gain momentum the number of companies

and employment for the industry could grow substantially

99 Airport facilities with 2500+ annual Enplanement Counts andor AASF 100

If opportunities for fuel cell use in Maine identified in this report are met with 400 kW units a minimum of 665760 MWh

electric and 312 million MMBTUs (equivalent to 915127 MWh) of thermal energy would be produced which could reduce CO2

emissions by at least 127826 tons per year

INTRODUCTION

A Hydrogen and Fuel Cell Industry Development Plan was created for each state in the Northeast region

(Maine Vermont New Hampshire Massachusetts Rhode Island Connecticut New York and New

Jersey) with support from the United States (US) 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 technology1

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 VI

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 power 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 and 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 Virtually none of the earthrsquos

hydrogen is in a form that we can readily use in fuel cells or other energy applications Almost all

organic compounds which by definition contain carbon also contain hydrogen2 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 3

Capturing carbon emissions from natural gas reforming processes would further improve the

environmental advantages of a hydrogen economy Carbon can be sequestered more easily in converting

centralized natural gas to hydrogen rather than burning the natural gas 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

Hydrogen is the lightest element in the universe It also holds a great deal of potential energy which

makes it a good energy storage medium There is a lot of discussion about using hydrogen as an energy

source andor an energy storage medium There are also a number of firms looking at developing

hydrogen energy systems in Maine

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 Maine benefits from secondary impacts of indirect and

induced employment and revenue4 Furthermore Maine 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 strengths weaknesses opportunities

and threats (SWOT) assessment for Maine is provided in Appendix VII

Industries in the Northeast including those in Maine are facing increased pressure to reduce costs fuel

consumption and emissions that may be contributing to climate change Mainersquos relative proximity to

major load centers the high cost of electricity concerns over regional air quality available federal tax

incentives and legislative mandates in Maine 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 Mainersquos incentives and renewable energy programs

Some specific factors that are driving the market for hydrogen and fuel cell technology in Maine include

the following

The current Renewable Portfolio Standards (RPS) recognizes fuel cells and fuel cells that run on

renewable fuels as a ldquoClass Irdquo renewable energy sources and calls for an increase in renewable

energy used in the state from its current level of approximately three percent to approximately ten

percent by 2017 ndash promotes stationary power and transportation applications

5

Net Metering ndash In June 2011 Gov Paul LePage signed legislation requiring the Maine Public

Utilities Commission (PUC) to amend the net energy rules to develop contract terms for net

energy billing and interconnection agreements Furthermore the bill allows the PUC to amend

net energy billing rules following routine technical rules and will enable the PUC to amend net

energy billing without having to send the amendments to the legislature for approval ndash promotes

stationary power applications6

Maine is one of the states in the ten-state region that is part of the Regional Greenhouse Gas

Initiative (RGGI) the nationrsquos first mandatory market-based program to reduce emissions of

carbon dioxide (CO2) RGGIs goals are to stabilize and cap emissions at 188 million tons

annually from 2009-2014 and to reduce CO2-emissions by 25 percent per year from 2015-20187

ndash promotes stationary power and transportation applications

In June 2009 Maine enacted the Act regarding Maines energy future that established the

Efficiency Maine Trust which is responsible for creating a plan to reach the following energy

efficiency targets

o 100 MW reduction in peak-load electricity consumption by 2020

o 30 percent reduction in electricity and natural gas consumption

o 20 percent reduction in heating fuel consumption

The Finance Authority of Maine (Authority) manages the Clean Fuel Vehicle Fund which is a

non-lapsing revolving loan fund that may be used for direct loans and grants to support

production distribution and consumption of clean fuels and biofuels (including fuel cells) The

Authority may also insure up to 100 percent of a loan for a clean fuel or biofuel project ndash

promotes transportation applications9

By December 1 2012 the Maine Office of Energy Independence and Security (Office) must

develop a plan to reduce petroleum consumption in all sectors of the economy with the overall

goal of reducing petroleum consumption in the state by at least 30 percent and 50 percent based

on 2007 levels by 2030 and 2050 respectively ndash promotes transportation applications10

Maine has established a policy that prohibits the Maine State Purchasing Agent from purchasing

or leasing any car or light-duty truck for use by any state department or agency unless the car or

truck has a manufacturers estimated highway mileage rating of at least 45 miles per gallon (mpg)

or 35 mpg respectively ndash promotes transportation applications11

The Transportation Efficiency Fund is a non-lapsing fund managed by the Maine Department of

Transportation to increase energy efficiency and reduce reliance on fossil fuels within the states

ECONOMIC IMPACT

The hydrogen and fuel cell industry has direct indirect and induced impacts on local and regional

economies 13

A new hydrogen andor fuel cell project directly affects the arearsquos 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

Maine is home to at least 28 companies that are part of the growing hydrogen and fuel cell industry

supply chain in the Northeast region Appendix V lists the hydrogen and fuel cell supply chain companies

in Maine Realizing over $2 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 (RampD) coating applications and managing of venture

capital funds 14

Furthermore the hydrogen and fuel cell industry is estimated to have contributed

approximately $113000 in state and local tax revenue and over $29 million in gross state product

POTENTIAL STATIONARY TARGETS

In 2009 Maine consumed the equivalent of 12614 million megawatt-hours of energy from the

transportation residential industrial and commercial sectors16

Electricity consumption in Maine was

approximately 113 million MWh and is forecasted to grow at a rate of 09 percent annually over the next

decade1718

Figure 1 illustrates the percent of total energy consumed by each sector in Maine A more

detailed breakout of energy usage is provided in Appendix II

This demand represents approximately nine percent of the population in New England and nine percent of

the regionrsquos total electricity consumption The State relies on both in-state resources and imports of

power over the regionrsquos transmission system to serve electricity to customers Net electrical demand in

Maine industries was 1288 MW in 2009 and is projected to increase by approximately 50 MW by 2015

Further the statersquos overall electricity demand is forecasted to grow at a rate of 09 percent (15 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

3400 MW in total capacity of generation plants Maine represents 11 percent of the total capacity in New

England As shown in Figure 2 natural gas was the primary energy source for electricity consumed in

Maine for 2009 19

Fuel cell systems have many advantages over conventional technologies including

High fuel-to-electricity efficiency (gt 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 systems20

Fuel cells can be deployed as a CHP technology that provides both power and thermal energy and can

increase 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 emissions21

Based on the

targets identified within this plan there is the potential to develop at least 58 MWs of stationary fuel cell

generation capacity in Maine which would provide the following benefits annually

Production of approximately 473000 MWh of electricity

Production of approximately 127 million MMBTUs of thermal energy

Reduction of CO2 emissions of approximately 90000 tons (electric generation only)22

For the purpose of this plan applications have been explored with a focus on fuel cells in the 300 kW to

400 kW range 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 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 high electricity consumption selected government

buildings public works facilities and energy intensive industries

The Energy Information Agencys (EIA) Commercial Building Energy Consumption Survey (CBECS_

identifies the building types listed below as having high electricity consumption They are the best

candidates for on-site generation and CHP applications These selected building types making up the

CBECS subcategory within the commercial industry include

Education

Food Sales

Food Services

Inpatient Healthcare

Lodging

Public Order amp Safety23

As illustrated in Figure 3 these selected building types within the commercial sector is estimated to

account for approximately 15 percent of Mainersquos total electrical consumption Appendix II further

Education

There are approximately 145 non-public schools and 780 public schools (134 of which are considered

high schools with 100 or more students enrolled) in Maine2425

High schools operate for a longer period

of time daily due to extracurricular after school activities such as clubs and athletics Furthermore two

of these schools have swimming pools which may make these sites especially attractive because it would

increase the utilization of and make more efficient the electrical and thermal output offered by a fuel cell

There are also 39 colleges and universities in Maine Colleges and universities have facilities for

students faculty administration and maintenance crews that typically include dormitories cafeterias

gyms libraries and athletic departments ndash some with swimming pools Of these 173 locations (134 high

schools and 39 colleges) 65 are located in communities serviced by natural gas (Appendix I ndash Figure 1

Food Sales

There are over 1800 businesses in Maine known to be engaged in the retail sale of food Food sales

establishments are good candidates for fuel cells based on their electrical demand and thermal

requirements for heating and refrigeration Approximately 80 of these sites are considered larger food

sales businesses with approximately 60 or more employees at their site 26

Of these 80 large food sales

businesses 45 are located in communities serviced by natural gas (Appendix I ndash Figure 2 Food Sales)27

The application of a large fuel cell (gt300 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 Wholefoods and Stop and Shop have shown

interest in powering their stores with fuel cells in Massachusetts Connecticut and New York28

In

addition grocery distribution centers like the one operated by Shaws (a Supervalu brand) in Wells

Maine 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 2100 businesses in Maine that can be classified as food service establishments used for

the preparation and sale of food and beverages for consumption29

15 of these sites are considered larger

restaurant businesses with 130 or more employees at their site and are located in Maine communities

serviced by natural gas (Appendix I ndash Figure 3 Food Services)30

The application of a large fuel cell

(gt300 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

load31

In other parts of the US popular chains such as McDonalds are beginning to show an interest in

the smaller sized fuel cell units for the provision of electricity and thermal energy including domestic

water heating at food service establishments32

26

On average food sale facilities consume 43000 kWh of electricity per worker on an annual basis When compared to current

fuel cell technology (gt300 kW) which satisfies annual electricity consumption loads between 2628000 ndash 3504000 kWh

calculations show food sales facilities employing more than 61 workers may represent favorable opportunities for the application

of a larger fuel cell 27 EIA Description of CBECS Building Types wwweiagovemeucbecsbuilding_typeshtml 28 Clean Energy States Alliance (CESA) ldquoFuel Cells for Supermarkets ndash Cleaner Energy with Fuel Cell Combined Heat and

Inpatient Healthcare

There are over 181 inpatient healthcare facilities in Maine 42 of which are classified as hospitals33

Of

these 42 hospitals eight are located in communities serviced by natural gas and contain 100 or more beds

onsite (Appendix I ndash 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 247 with a relatively flat load curve Furthermore medical equipment patient

rooms sterilizedoperating 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 a fuel cell Nationally hospital energy costs have increased 56 percent from $389 per square foot

in 2003 to $607 per square foot for 2010 partially due to the increased cost of energy34

Examples of healthcare facilities with planned or operational fuel cells include St Francis Stamford and

Public Order and Safety There are approximately 216 facilities in Maine that can be classified as public order and safety these

include 96 fire stations 102 police stations eight state police stations nine border patrols and nine

prisons 3940

Ten of these locations employ more than 210 workers and are located in communities

serviced by natural gas4142

These applications may represent favorable opportunities for the application

of a larger fuel cell (gt300 kW) which could provide heat and uninterrupted power 4344

The sites

identified (Appendix I ndash Figure 6 Public Order and Safety) will have special value to provide increased

reliability to mission critical facilities associated with public safety and emergency response during grid

outages The application of a large fuel cell (gt300 kW) at public order and safety facilities with less than

210 employees may not be economically viable based on the electrical demand and operational

requirement however a smaller fuel cell ( 5 kW) may be appropriate Central Park Police Station in

New York City New York is presently powered by a 200 kW fuel cell system

Energy Intensive Industries

As shown in Table 2 energy intensive industries with high electricity consumption (which on average is

48 percent of annual operating costs) have been identified as potential locations for the application of a

fuel cell45

In Maine there are approximately 156 of these industrial facilities that are involved in the

manufacture of aluminum chemicals forest products glass metal casting petroleum coal products or

steel and employ 25 or more employees46

Of these 156 locations 64 are located in communities serviced

Government Owned Buildings

Buildings operated by the federal government can be found at 114 locations in Maine four of these

properties are actively owned rather than leased by the federal government and are located in

communities serviced by natural gas (Appendix I ndash Figure 8 Federal Government Operated Buildings)

There are also a number of buildings owned and operated by the State of Maine 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 Maine there are approximately 509 telecommunications andor wireless company tower

sites (Appendix I ndash 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 this is typically accomplished with batteries or

conventional emergency generators48

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 back-up power is a T-Mobile facility located in Storrs Connecticut

Wastewater Treatment Plants (WWTPs) There are 111 WWTPs in Maine that have design flows ranging from 3000 gallons per day (GPD) to 16

million gallons per day (MGD) seven of these facilities average between 3 ndash 16 MGD WWTPs

typically operate 247 and may be able to utilize the thermal energy from the fuel cell to process fats oils

and grease49

WWTPs account for approximately three percent of the electric load in the United State50

Digester gas produced at WWTPrsquos 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 methane51

Most facilities currently represent a

lost opportunity to capture and use the digestion of methane emissions created from their operations

(Appendix I ndash Figure 10 Solid and Liquid Waste Sites) 5253

A 200 kW fuel cell power plant in Yonkers New York was the worldrsquos first commercial fuel cell to run

on a waste gas created at a wastewater treatment plant The fuel cell generates about 1600 MWh of

electricity a year and reduces methane emissions released to the environment54

Landfill Methane Outreach Program (LMOP)

There are 11 landfills in Maine identified by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) through their

LMOP program two of which are operational two are candidates and six are considered potential sites

for the production and recovery of methane gas 5657

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 ndash Figure 10 Solid

Airports

During peak air travel times in the US there are approximately 50000 airplanes in the sky each day

Ensuring safe operations of commercial and private aircrafts are the responsibility of air traffic

controllers Modern software host computers voice communication systems and instituted full scale

glide path angle capabilities assist air traffic controllers in tracking and communicating with aircrafts

consequently reliable electricity is extremely important and present an opportunity for a fuel cell power

application 58

There are approximately 103 airports in Maine including 47 that are open to the public and have

scheduled services Of those 47 airports six (Table 3) have 2500 or more passengers enplaned each

Stationary units for power supply in bases

Fuel cell units in transport applications

Portable units for equipping individual soldiers or group of soldiers

In a collaborative partnership with the DOE the DOD plans to install and operate 18 fuel cell backup

power systems at eight of its military installations two of which are located within the Northeast region

(New York and New Jersey)60

In addition the Portsmouth Naval Shipyard (PSNY) in Kittery Maine

POTENTIAL TRANSPORTATION TARGETS

Transportation is responsible for one-fourth of the total global GHG emissions and consumes 75 percent

of the worldrsquos oil production In 2010 the US used 21 million barrels of non-renewable petroleum each

day Roughly 29 percent of Mainersquos energy consumption is due to demands of the transportation sector

including gasoline and on-highway diesel petroleum for automobiles trucks and buses A small percent

of non-renewable petroleum is used for jet and ship fuel62

The current economy in the US 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)6364

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

10170 15770 and 182984 pounds per year respectively66

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 4390

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 $1866 per light duty truck and $17560 per bus67

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

US DOE has projected that between 151 million and 239 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 fuels68

Mainersquos opportunities to support these new vehicles include alternative fueling stations Maine

Department of Transportation (MDOT) refueling stations bus transit operations government public and

privately owned fleets and material handling and airport ground support equipment (GSE) Graphical

representation of these opportunities analyzed are depicted in Appendix I

Alternative Fueling Stations

There are approximately 1400 retail fueling stations in Maine69

however only 10 public andor private

stations within the state provide alternative fuels such as biodiesel compressed natural gas propane

andor electricity for alternative-fueled vehicles70

There are also at least 17 refueling stations owned and

operated by MDOT 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 71

Development of

hydrogen fueling at alternative fuel stations and at selected locations owned and operated by MDOT

would help facilitate the deployment of FCEVs within the state (Appendix I ndash Figure 12 Alternative

Fueling Stations) Currently there are approximately 18 existing or planned transportation fueling

stations in the Northeast region where hydrogen is provided as an alternative fuel72737475

Fleets

There are over 7000 fleet vehicles (excluding state and federal vehicles) classified as non-leasing or

company owned vehicles in Maine 76

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 are an additional 1781 passenger automobiles andor light duty trucks in Maine

owned by state and federal agencies (excluding state police) that traveled a combined 14965373 miles in

2010 while releasing 1031 metrics tons of CO2 77

Conversion of fleet vehicles from conventional fossil

fuels to FCEVs could significantly reduce petroleum consumption and GHG emissions Fleet vehicle

hubs are 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 61 directly operated buses that provide public transportation services in Maine78

As discussed above replacement of a conventional diesel transit bus with a fuel cell transit bus would

result in the reduction of CO2 emissions (estimated at approximately 183000 pounds per year) and

reduction of diesel fuel (estimated at approximately 4390 gallons per year)79

Although the efficiency of

conventional diesel buses has increased conventional diesel buses which typically achieve fuel economy

performance levels of 39 miles per gallon have the greatest potential for energy savings by using high

efficiency fuel cells In addition to Maine other states have also begun the transition of fueling transit

buses with alternative fuels to improve efficiency and environmental performance

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

15 times lower maintenance cost

8 times lower refuelingrecharging labor cost

2 times lower net present value of total operations and management (OampM) system cost

Fuel cell powered material handling equipment is already in use at dozens of warehouses distribution

centers and manufacturing plants in North America80

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 IX for a partial list of companies in North America that using

fuel cell powered forklifts)81

There are approximately five distribution centerswarehouse sites that have

been identified in Maine that may benefit from the use of fuel cell powered material handling equipment

(Appendix I ndash Figure 13 Distribution CentersWarehouses amp Ports)

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

GSEs82

Potential large end-users of GSE that serve Mainersquos largest airports include Air Canada Delta

Airlines Continental JetBlue United and US Airways83

(Appendix I ndash Figure 11 Commercial

Airports)

Ports

Maine has 3480 miles of coastline with six cargo ports and 13 cruise ship ports The ports of Portland

and Bath Maine which service large vessels such as container ships tankers bulk carriers and cruise

ships may be candidates for improved energy management Commercial marine vessels (cargo ships

entering and leaving Marine ports) contribute approximately 166 tons of volatile organic compounds

(VOC) 1134 tons of NOX 374 tons of CO 124 tons of sulfur dioxide SO2 and 91 tons of particulate

matter (PM10) per year84

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 90000 cargo ships contains up to 2000 times the amount of

sulfur compared to diesel fuel used in automobiles85

Furthermore diesel emissions from cruise ships

while at port are a significant source of air pollution While docked vessels shut off their main engines

but use auxiliary diesel and steam engines to power refrigeration lights pumps and other functions a

process called ldquocold-ironing 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

The applications of fuel cell technology at ports may also provide electric and thermal energy for

improving energy management for warehouses and equipment operated between terminals (Appendix I ndash

Total 7159+ 266 74 192

As shown in Table 5 the analysis provided here estimates that there are approximately 266 potential

locations which may be favorable candidates for the application of a fuel cell to provide heat and power

Assuming the demand for electricity was uniform throughout the year approximately 150 to 192 fuel cell

units with a capacity of 300 ndash 400 kW could be deployed for a total fuel cell capacity of 58 to 77 MWs

If opportunities for fuel cell use in Maine identified in this report are met with 300 kW units a minimum

of 473040 MWh electric and 127 million MMBTUs (equivalent to 373404 MWh) of thermal energy

would be produced which could reduce CO2 emissions by at least 90824 tons per year 100

Maine 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

bull Replacement of a gasoline-fueled passenger vehicle with FCEVs could result in annual CO2

emission reductions (per vehicle) of approximately 10170 pounds annual energy savings of 230

gallons of gasoline and annual fuel cost savings of $885

bull Replacement of a gasoline-fueled light duty truck with FCEVs could result in annual CO2

emission reductions (per light duty truck) of approximately 15770 pounds annual energy savings

of 485 gallons of gasoline and annual fuel cost savings of $1866

bull Replacement of a diesel-fueled transit bus with a fuel cell powered bus could result in annual CO2

emission reductions (per bus) of approximately 182984 pounds annual energy savings of 4390

gallons of fuel and annual fuel cost savings of $17560

Hydrogen and fuel cell technology also provides significant opportunities for job creation andor

economic development Realizing over $2 million in revenue and investment in 2010 the hydrogen and

fuel cell industry in Maine is estimated to have contributed approximately $113000 in state and local tax

revenue and over $29 million in gross state product Currently there are at least 30 Maine companies

that are part of the growing hydrogen and fuel cell industry supply chain in the Northeast region If

neweremerging hydrogen and fuel cell technology were to gain momentum the number of companies

and employment for the industry could grow substantially

99 Airport facilities with 2500+ annual Enplanement Counts andor AASF 100

If opportunities for fuel cell use in Maine identified in this report are met with 400 kW units a minimum of 665760 MWh

electric and 312 million MMBTUs (equivalent to 915127 MWh) of thermal energy would be produced which could reduce CO2

emissions by at least 127826 tons per year

A Hydrogen and Fuel Cell Industry Development Plan was created for each state in the Northeast region

(Maine Vermont New Hampshire Massachusetts Rhode Island Connecticut New York and New

Jersey) with support from the United States (US) 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 technology1

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 VI

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 power 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 and 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 Virtually none of the earthrsquos

hydrogen is in a form that we can readily use in fuel cells or other energy applications Almost all

organic compounds which by definition contain carbon also contain hydrogen2 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 3

Capturing carbon emissions from natural gas reforming processes would further improve the

environmental advantages of a hydrogen economy Carbon can be sequestered more easily in converting

centralized natural gas to hydrogen rather than burning the natural gas 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

Hydrogen is the lightest element in the universe It also holds a great deal of potential energy which

makes it a good energy storage medium There is a lot of discussion about using hydrogen as an energy

source andor an energy storage medium There are also a number of firms looking at developing

hydrogen energy systems in Maine

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 Maine benefits from secondary impacts of indirect and

induced employment and revenue4 Furthermore Maine 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 strengths weaknesses opportunities

and threats (SWOT) assessment for Maine is provided in Appendix VII

Industries in the Northeast including those in Maine are facing increased pressure to reduce costs fuel

consumption and emissions that may be contributing to climate change Mainersquos relative proximity to

major load centers the high cost of electricity concerns over regional air quality available federal tax

incentives and legislative mandates in Maine 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 Mainersquos incentives and renewable energy programs

Some specific factors that are driving the market for hydrogen and fuel cell technology in Maine include

the following

The current Renewable Portfolio Standards (RPS) recognizes fuel cells and fuel cells that run on

renewable fuels as a ldquoClass Irdquo renewable energy sources and calls for an increase in renewable

energy used in the state from its current level of approximately three percent to approximately ten

percent by 2017 ndash promotes stationary power and transportation applications

5

Net Metering ndash In June 2011 Gov Paul LePage signed legislation requiring the Maine Public

Utilities Commission (PUC) to amend the net energy rules to develop contract terms for net

energy billing and interconnection agreements Furthermore the bill allows the PUC to amend

net energy billing rules following routine technical rules and will enable the PUC to amend net

energy billing without having to send the amendments to the legislature for approval ndash promotes

stationary power applications6

Maine is one of the states in the ten-state region that is part of the Regional Greenhouse Gas

Initiative (RGGI) the nationrsquos first mandatory market-based program to reduce emissions of

carbon dioxide (CO2) RGGIs goals are to stabilize and cap emissions at 188 million tons

annually from 2009-2014 and to reduce CO2-emissions by 25 percent per year from 2015-20187

ndash promotes stationary power and transportation applications

In June 2009 Maine enacted the Act regarding Maines energy future that established the

Efficiency Maine Trust which is responsible for creating a plan to reach the following energy

efficiency targets

o 100 MW reduction in peak-load electricity consumption by 2020

o 30 percent reduction in electricity and natural gas consumption

o 20 percent reduction in heating fuel consumption

ECONOMIC IMPACT

The hydrogen and fuel cell industry has direct indirect and induced impacts on local and regional

economies 13

A new hydrogen andor fuel cell project directly affects the arearsquos 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

Maine is home to at least 28 companies that are part of the growing hydrogen and fuel cell industry

supply chain in the Northeast region Appendix V lists the hydrogen and fuel cell supply chain companies

in Maine Realizing over $2 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 (RampD) coating applications and managing of venture

capital funds 14

Furthermore the hydrogen and fuel cell industry is estimated to have contributed

approximately $113000 in state and local tax revenue and over $29 million in gross state product

POTENTIAL STATIONARY TARGETS

In 2009 Maine consumed the equivalent of 12614 million megawatt-hours of energy from the

transportation residential industrial and commercial sectors16

Electricity consumption in Maine was

approximately 113 million MWh and is forecasted to grow at a rate of 09 percent annually over the next

decade1718

Figure 1 illustrates the percent of total energy consumed by each sector in Maine A more

detailed breakout of energy usage is provided in Appendix II

This demand represents approximately nine percent of the population in New England and nine percent of

the regionrsquos total electricity consumption The State relies on both in-state resources and imports of

power over the regionrsquos transmission system to serve electricity to customers Net electrical demand in

Maine industries was 1288 MW in 2009 and is projected to increase by approximately 50 MW by 2015

Further the statersquos overall electricity demand is forecasted to grow at a rate of 09 percent (15 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

3400 MW in total capacity of generation plants Maine represents 11 percent of the total capacity in New

England As shown in Figure 2 natural gas was the primary energy source for electricity consumed in

Maine for 2009 19

Fuel cell systems have many advantages over conventional technologies including

High fuel-to-electricity efficiency (gt 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 systems20

Fuel cells can be deployed as a CHP technology that provides both power and thermal energy and can

increase 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 emissions21

Based on the

targets identified within this plan there is the potential to develop at least 58 MWs of stationary fuel cell

generation capacity in Maine which would provide the following benefits annually

Production of approximately 473000 MWh of electricity

Production of approximately 127 million MMBTUs of thermal energy

Reduction of CO2 emissions of approximately 90000 tons (electric generation only)22

For the purpose of this plan applications have been explored with a focus on fuel cells in the 300 kW to

400 kW range 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 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 high electricity consumption selected government

buildings public works facilities and energy intensive industries

The Energy Information Agencys (EIA) Commercial Building Energy Consumption Survey (CBECS_

identifies the building types listed below as having high electricity consumption They are the best

candidates for on-site generation and CHP applications These selected building types making up the

CBECS subcategory within the commercial industry include

Education

Food Sales

Food Services

Inpatient Healthcare

Lodging

Public Order amp Safety23

As illustrated in Figure 3 these selected building types within the commercial sector is estimated to

account for approximately 15 percent of Mainersquos total electrical consumption Appendix II further

Education

There are approximately 145 non-public schools and 780 public schools (134 of which are considered

high schools with 100 or more students enrolled) in Maine2425

High schools operate for a longer period

of time daily due to extracurricular after school activities such as clubs and athletics Furthermore two

of these schools have swimming pools which may make these sites especially attractive because it would

increase the utilization of and make more efficient the electrical and thermal output offered by a fuel cell

There are also 39 colleges and universities in Maine Colleges and universities have facilities for

students faculty administration and maintenance crews that typically include dormitories cafeterias

gyms libraries and athletic departments ndash some with swimming pools Of these 173 locations (134 high

schools and 39 colleges) 65 are located in communities serviced by natural gas (Appendix I ndash Figure 1

Food Sales

There are over 1800 businesses in Maine known to be engaged in the retail sale of food Food sales

establishments are good candidates for fuel cells based on their electrical demand and thermal

requirements for heating and refrigeration Approximately 80 of these sites are considered larger food

sales businesses with approximately 60 or more employees at their site 26

Of these 80 large food sales

businesses 45 are located in communities serviced by natural gas (Appendix I ndash Figure 2 Food Sales)27

The application of a large fuel cell (gt300 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 Wholefoods and Stop and Shop have shown

interest in powering their stores with fuel cells in Massachusetts Connecticut and New York28

In

addition grocery distribution centers like the one operated by Shaws (a Supervalu brand) in Wells

Maine 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 2100 businesses in Maine that can be classified as food service establishments used for

the preparation and sale of food and beverages for consumption29

15 of these sites are considered larger

restaurant businesses with 130 or more employees at their site and are located in Maine communities

serviced by natural gas (Appendix I ndash Figure 3 Food Services)30

The application of a large fuel cell

(gt300 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

load31

In other parts of the US popular chains such as McDonalds are beginning to show an interest in

the smaller sized fuel cell units for the provision of electricity and thermal energy including domestic

water heating at food service establishments32

26

On average food sale facilities consume 43000 kWh of electricity per worker on an annual basis When compared to current

fuel cell technology (gt300 kW) which satisfies annual electricity consumption loads between 2628000 ndash 3504000 kWh

calculations show food sales facilities employing more than 61 workers may represent favorable opportunities for the application

of a larger fuel cell 27 EIA Description of CBECS Building Types wwweiagovemeucbecsbuilding_typeshtml 28 Clean Energy States Alliance (CESA) ldquoFuel Cells for Supermarkets ndash Cleaner Energy with Fuel Cell Combined Heat and

There are over 181 inpatient healthcare facilities in Maine 42 of which are classified as hospitals33

Of

these 42 hospitals eight are located in communities serviced by natural gas and contain 100 or more beds

onsite (Appendix I ndash 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 247 with a relatively flat load curve Furthermore medical equipment patient

rooms sterilizedoperating 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 a fuel cell Nationally hospital energy costs have increased 56 percent from $389 per square foot

in 2003 to $607 per square foot for 2010 partially due to the increased cost of energy34

Energy Intensive Industries

As shown in Table 2 energy intensive industries with high electricity consumption (which on average is

48 percent of annual operating costs) have been identified as potential locations for the application of a

fuel cell45

In Maine there are approximately 156 of these industrial facilities that are involved in the

manufacture of aluminum chemicals forest products glass metal casting petroleum coal products or

steel and employ 25 or more employees46

Of these 156 locations 64 are located in communities serviced

by natural gas (Appendix I ndash Figure 7 Energy Intensive Industries)

Government Owned Buildings

Buildings operated by the federal government can be found at 114 locations in Maine four of these

properties are actively owned rather than leased by the federal government and are located in

communities serviced by natural gas (Appendix I ndash Figure 8 Federal Government Operated Buildings)

There are also a number of buildings owned and operated by the State of Maine 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 Maine there are approximately 509 telecommunications andor wireless company tower

sites (Appendix I ndash 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 this is typically accomplished with batteries or

conventional emergency generators48

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 back-up power is a T-Mobile facility located in Storrs Connecticut

Wastewater Treatment Plants (WWTPs) There are 111 WWTPs in Maine that have design flows ranging from 3000 gallons per day (GPD) to 16

million gallons per day (MGD) seven of these facilities average between 3 ndash 16 MGD WWTPs

typically operate 247 and may be able to utilize the thermal energy from the fuel cell to process fats oils

and grease49

WWTPs account for approximately three percent of the electric load in the United State50

Digester gas produced at WWTPrsquos 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 methane51

Most facilities currently represent a

lost opportunity to capture and use the digestion of methane emissions created from their operations

(Appendix I ndash Figure 10 Solid and Liquid Waste Sites) 5253

A 200 kW fuel cell power plant in Yonkers New York was the worldrsquos first commercial fuel cell to run

on a waste gas created at a wastewater treatment plant The fuel cell generates about 1600 MWh of

electricity a year and reduces methane emissions released to the environment54

Landfill Methane Outreach Program (LMOP)

There are 11 landfills in Maine identified by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) through their

LMOP program two of which are operational two are candidates and six are considered potential sites

for the production and recovery of methane gas 5657

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 ndash Figure 10 Solid

Airports

During peak air travel times in the US there are approximately 50000 airplanes in the sky each day

Ensuring safe operations of commercial and private aircrafts are the responsibility of air traffic

controllers Modern software host computers voice communication systems and instituted full scale

glide path angle capabilities assist air traffic controllers in tracking and communicating with aircrafts

consequently reliable electricity is extremely important and present an opportunity for a fuel cell power

application 58

There are approximately 103 airports in Maine including 47 that are open to the public and have

scheduled services Of those 47 airports six (Table 3) have 2500 or more passengers enplaned each

year two of these six facilities are located in communities serviced by natural gas (See Appendix I ndash

Military The US Department of Defense (DOD) is the largest funding organization in terms of supporting fuel

cell activities for military applications in the world DOD organizations are using fuel cells for

Stationary units for power supply in bases

Fuel cell units in transport applications

Portable units for equipping individual soldiers or group of soldiers

In a collaborative partnership with the DOE the DOD plans to install and operate 18 fuel cell backup

power systems at eight of its military installations two of which are located within the Northeast region

(New York and New Jersey)60

In addition the Portsmouth Naval Shipyard (PSNY) in Kittery Maine

occupies more than 297 acres on base employs approximately 4500 civilian employees and 100 naval

officers in addition to enlisted personal assigned to the shipyard and is a potential application for

hydrogen and fuel cell technology (Appendix I ndash Figure 11 Commercial Airports) 61

POTENTIAL TRANSPORTATION TARGETS

Transportation is responsible for one-fourth of the total global GHG emissions and consumes 75 percent

of the worldrsquos oil production In 2010 the US used 21 million barrels of non-renewable petroleum each

day Roughly 29 percent of Mainersquos energy consumption is due to demands of the transportation sector

including gasoline and on-highway diesel petroleum for automobiles trucks and buses A small percent

of non-renewable petroleum is used for jet and ship fuel62

The current economy in the US 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)6364

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

10170 15770 and 182984 pounds per year respectively66

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 4390

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 $1866 per light duty truck and $17560 per bus67

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

US DOE has projected that between 151 million and 239 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 fuels68

Mainersquos opportunities to support these new vehicles include alternative fueling stations Maine

Department of Transportation (MDOT) refueling stations bus transit operations government public and

privately owned fleets and material handling and airport ground support equipment (GSE) Graphical

representation of these opportunities analyzed are depicted in Appendix I

Alternative Fueling Stations

There are approximately 1400 retail fueling stations in Maine69

however only 10 public andor private

stations within the state provide alternative fuels such as biodiesel compressed natural gas propane

andor electricity for alternative-fueled vehicles70

There are also at least 17 refueling stations owned and

operated by MDOT 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 71

Development of

hydrogen fueling at alternative fuel stations and at selected locations owned and operated by MDOT

would help facilitate the deployment of FCEVs within the state (Appendix I ndash Figure 12 Alternative

Fueling Stations) Currently there are approximately 18 existing or planned transportation fueling

stations in the Northeast region where hydrogen is provided as an alternative fuel72737475

Fleets

There are over 7000 fleet vehicles (excluding state and federal vehicles) classified as non-leasing or

company owned vehicles in Maine 76

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 are an additional 1781 passenger automobiles andor light duty trucks in Maine

owned by state and federal agencies (excluding state police) that traveled a combined 14965373 miles in

2010 while releasing 1031 metrics tons of CO2 77

Conversion of fleet vehicles from conventional fossil

fuels to FCEVs could significantly reduce petroleum consumption and GHG emissions Fleet vehicle

hubs are 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 61 directly operated buses that provide public transportation services in Maine78

As discussed above replacement of a conventional diesel transit bus with a fuel cell transit bus would

result in the reduction of CO2 emissions (estimated at approximately 183000 pounds per year) and

reduction of diesel fuel (estimated at approximately 4390 gallons per year)79

Although the efficiency of

conventional diesel buses has increased conventional diesel buses which typically achieve fuel economy

performance levels of 39 miles per gallon have the greatest potential for energy savings by using high

efficiency fuel cells In addition to Maine other states have also begun the transition of fueling transit

buses with alternative fuels to improve efficiency and environmental performance

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

15 times lower maintenance cost

8 times lower refuelingrecharging labor cost

2 times lower net present value of total operations and management (OampM) system cost

Fuel cell powered material handling equipment is already in use at dozens of warehouses distribution

centers and manufacturing plants in North America80

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 IX for a partial list of companies in North America that using

fuel cell powered forklifts)81

There are approximately five distribution centerswarehouse sites that have

been identified in Maine that may benefit from the use of fuel cell powered material handling equipment

(Appendix I ndash Figure 13 Distribution CentersWarehouses amp Ports)

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

GSEs82

Potential large end-users of GSE that serve Mainersquos largest airports include Air Canada Delta

Airlines Continental JetBlue United and US Airways83

(Appendix I ndash Figure 11 Commercial

Airports)

Ports

Maine has 3480 miles of coastline with six cargo ports and 13 cruise ship ports The ports of Portland

and Bath Maine which service large vessels such as container ships tankers bulk carriers and cruise

ships may be candidates for improved energy management Commercial marine vessels (cargo ships

entering and leaving Marine ports) contribute approximately 166 tons of volatile organic compounds

(VOC) 1134 tons of NOX 374 tons of CO 124 tons of sulfur dioxide SO2 and 91 tons of particulate

matter (PM10) per year84

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 90000 cargo ships contains up to 2000 times the amount of

sulfur compared to diesel fuel used in automobiles85

Furthermore diesel emissions from cruise ships

while at port are a significant source of air pollution While docked vessels shut off their main engines

but use auxiliary diesel and steam engines to power refrigeration lights pumps and other functions a

process called ldquocold-ironing 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

The applications of fuel cell technology at ports may also provide electric and thermal energy for

improving energy management for warehouses and equipment operated between terminals (Appendix I ndash

As shown in Table 5 the analysis provided here estimates that there are approximately 266 potential

locations which may be favorable candidates for the application of a fuel cell to provide heat and power

Assuming the demand for electricity was uniform throughout the year approximately 150 to 192 fuel cell

units with a capacity of 300 ndash 400 kW could be deployed for a total fuel cell capacity of 58 to 77 MWs

If opportunities for fuel cell use in Maine identified in this report are met with 300 kW units a minimum

of 473040 MWh electric and 127 million MMBTUs (equivalent to 373404 MWh) of thermal energy

would be produced which could reduce CO2 emissions by at least 90824 tons per year 100

Maine 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

bull Replacement of a gasoline-fueled passenger vehicle with FCEVs could result in annual CO2

emission reductions (per vehicle) of approximately 10170 pounds annual energy savings of 230

gallons of gasoline and annual fuel cost savings of $885

bull Replacement of a gasoline-fueled light duty truck with FCEVs could result in annual CO2

emission reductions (per light duty truck) of approximately 15770 pounds annual energy savings

of 485 gallons of gasoline and annual fuel cost savings of $1866

bull Replacement of a diesel-fueled transit bus with a fuel cell powered bus could result in annual CO2

emission reductions (per bus) of approximately 182984 pounds annual energy savings of 4390

gallons of fuel and annual fuel cost savings of $17560

Hydrogen and fuel cell technology also provides significant opportunities for job creation andor

economic development Realizing over $2 million in revenue and investment in 2010 the hydrogen and

fuel cell industry in Maine is estimated to have contributed approximately $113000 in state and local tax

revenue and over $29 million in gross state product Currently there are at least 30 Maine companies

that are part of the growing hydrogen and fuel cell industry supply chain in the Northeast region If

neweremerging hydrogen and fuel cell technology were to gain momentum the number of companies

and employment for the industry could grow substantially

99 Airport facilities with 2500+ annual Enplanement Counts andor AASF 100

If opportunities for fuel cell use in Maine identified in this report are met with 400 kW units a minimum of 665760 MWh

electric and 312 million MMBTUs (equivalent to 915127 MWh) of thermal energy would be produced which could reduce CO2

emissions by at least 127826 tons per year

INTRODUCTION

A Hydrogen and Fuel Cell Industry Development Plan was created for each state in the Northeast region

(Maine Vermont New Hampshire Massachusetts Rhode Island Connecticut New York and New

Jersey) with support from the United States (US) 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 technology1

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 VI

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 power 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 and 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 Virtually none of the earthrsquos

hydrogen is in a form that we can readily use in fuel cells or other energy applications Almost all

organic compounds which by definition contain carbon also contain hydrogen2 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 3

Capturing carbon emissions from natural gas reforming processes would further improve the

environmental advantages of a hydrogen economy Carbon can be sequestered more easily in converting

centralized natural gas to hydrogen rather than burning the natural gas 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

Hydrogen is the lightest element in the universe It also holds a great deal of potential energy which

makes it a good energy storage medium There is a lot of discussion about using hydrogen as an energy

source andor an energy storage medium There are also a number of firms looking at developing

hydrogen energy systems in Maine

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 Maine benefits from secondary impacts of indirect and

induced employment and revenue4 Furthermore Maine 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 strengths weaknesses opportunities

and threats (SWOT) assessment for Maine is provided in Appendix VII

Industries in the Northeast including those in Maine are facing increased pressure to reduce costs fuel

consumption and emissions that may be contributing to climate change Mainersquos relative proximity to

major load centers the high cost of electricity concerns over regional air quality available federal tax

incentives and legislative mandates in Maine 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 Mainersquos incentives and renewable energy programs

Some specific factors that are driving the market for hydrogen and fuel cell technology in Maine include

the following

ECONOMIC IMPACT

The hydrogen and fuel cell industry has direct indirect and induced impacts on local and regional

economies 13

A new hydrogen andor fuel cell project directly affects the arearsquos 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

Maine is home to at least 28 companies that are part of the growing hydrogen and fuel cell industry

supply chain in the Northeast region Appendix V lists the hydrogen and fuel cell supply chain companies

in Maine Realizing over $2 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 (RampD) coating applications and managing of venture

capital funds 14

Furthermore the hydrogen and fuel cell industry is estimated to have contributed

approximately $113000 in state and local tax revenue and over $29 million in gross state product

POTENTIAL STATIONARY TARGETS

In 2009 Maine consumed the equivalent of 12614 million megawatt-hours of energy from the

transportation residential industrial and commercial sectors16

Electricity consumption in Maine was

approximately 113 million MWh and is forecasted to grow at a rate of 09 percent annually over the next

decade1718

Figure 1 illustrates the percent of total energy consumed by each sector in Maine A more

detailed breakout of energy usage is provided in Appendix II

This demand represents approximately nine percent of the population in New England and nine percent of

the regionrsquos total electricity consumption The State relies on both in-state resources and imports of

power over the regionrsquos transmission system to serve electricity to customers Net electrical demand in

Maine industries was 1288 MW in 2009 and is projected to increase by approximately 50 MW by 2015

Further the statersquos overall electricity demand is forecasted to grow at a rate of 09 percent (15 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

3400 MW in total capacity of generation plants Maine represents 11 percent of the total capacity in New

England As shown in Figure 2 natural gas was the primary energy source for electricity consumed in

Maine for 2009 19

Fuel cell systems have many advantages over conventional technologies including

High fuel-to-electricity efficiency (gt 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 systems20

Fuel cells can be deployed as a CHP technology that provides both power and thermal energy and can

increase 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 emissions21

Based on the

targets identified within this plan there is the potential to develop at least 58 MWs of stationary fuel cell

generation capacity in Maine which would provide the following benefits annually

Production of approximately 473000 MWh of electricity

Production of approximately 127 million MMBTUs of thermal energy

Reduction of CO2 emissions of approximately 90000 tons (electric generation only)22

For the purpose of this plan applications have been explored with a focus on fuel cells in the 300 kW to

400 kW range 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 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 high electricity consumption selected government

buildings public works facilities and energy intensive industries

The Energy Information Agencys (EIA) Commercial Building Energy Consumption Survey (CBECS_

identifies the building types listed below as having high electricity consumption They are the best

candidates for on-site generation and CHP applications These selected building types making up the

CBECS subcategory within the commercial industry include

Education

Food Sales

Food Services

Inpatient Healthcare

Lodging

Public Order amp Safety23

As illustrated in Figure 3 these selected building types within the commercial sector is estimated to

account for approximately 15 percent of Mainersquos total electrical consumption Appendix II further

Education

There are approximately 145 non-public schools and 780 public schools (134 of which are considered

high schools with 100 or more students enrolled) in Maine2425

High schools operate for a longer period

of time daily due to extracurricular after school activities such as clubs and athletics Furthermore two

of these schools have swimming pools which may make these sites especially attractive because it would

increase the utilization of and make more efficient the electrical and thermal output offered by a fuel cell

There are also 39 colleges and universities in Maine Colleges and universities have facilities for

students faculty administration and maintenance crews that typically include dormitories cafeterias

gyms libraries and athletic departments ndash some with swimming pools Of these 173 locations (134 high

schools and 39 colleges) 65 are located in communities serviced by natural gas (Appendix I ndash Figure 1

Food Sales

There are over 1800 businesses in Maine known to be engaged in the retail sale of food Food sales

establishments are good candidates for fuel cells based on their electrical demand and thermal

requirements for heating and refrigeration Approximately 80 of these sites are considered larger food

sales businesses with approximately 60 or more employees at their site 26

Of these 80 large food sales

businesses 45 are located in communities serviced by natural gas (Appendix I ndash Figure 2 Food Sales)27

The application of a large fuel cell (gt300 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 Wholefoods and Stop and Shop have shown

interest in powering their stores with fuel cells in Massachusetts Connecticut and New York28

In

addition grocery distribution centers like the one operated by Shaws (a Supervalu brand) in Wells

the preparation and sale of food and beverages for consumption29

15 of these sites are considered larger

restaurant businesses with 130 or more employees at their site and are located in Maine communities

serviced by natural gas (Appendix I ndash Figure 3 Food Services)30

The application of a large fuel cell

(gt300 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

load31

In other parts of the US popular chains such as McDonalds are beginning to show an interest in

the smaller sized fuel cell units for the provision of electricity and thermal energy including domestic

water heating at food service establishments32

26

On average food sale facilities consume 43000 kWh of electricity per worker on an annual basis When compared to current

fuel cell technology (gt300 kW) which satisfies annual electricity consumption loads between 2628000 ndash 3504000 kWh

calculations show food sales facilities employing more than 61 workers may represent favorable opportunities for the application

of a larger fuel cell 27 EIA Description of CBECS Building Types wwweiagovemeucbecsbuilding_typeshtml 28 Clean Energy States Alliance (CESA) ldquoFuel Cells for Supermarkets ndash Cleaner Energy with Fuel Cell Combined Heat and

application of fuel cells because they require a high availability factor of electricity for lifesaving medical

devices and operate 247 with a relatively flat load curve Furthermore medical equipment patient

rooms sterilizedoperating 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 a fuel cell Nationally hospital energy costs have increased 56 percent from $389 per square foot

in 2003 to $607 per square foot for 2010 partially due to the increased cost of energy34

sites (Appendix I ndash 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 this is typically accomplished with batteries or

conventional emergency generators48

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 back-up power is a T-Mobile facility located in Storrs Connecticut

Wastewater Treatment Plants (WWTPs) There are 111 WWTPs in Maine that have design flows ranging from 3000 gallons per day (GPD) to 16

million gallons per day (MGD) seven of these facilities average between 3 ndash 16 MGD WWTPs

typically operate 247 and may be able to utilize the thermal energy from the fuel cell to process fats oils

and grease49

WWTPs account for approximately three percent of the electric load in the United State50

Digester gas produced at WWTPrsquos 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 methane51

Most facilities currently represent a

lost opportunity to capture and use the digestion of methane emissions created from their operations

(Appendix I ndash Figure 10 Solid and Liquid Waste Sites) 5253

A 200 kW fuel cell power plant in Yonkers New York was the worldrsquos first commercial fuel cell to run

on a waste gas created at a wastewater treatment plant The fuel cell generates about 1600 MWh of

electricity a year and reduces methane emissions released to the environment54

Landfill Methane Outreach Program (LMOP)

There are 11 landfills in Maine identified by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) through their

LMOP program two of which are operational two are candidates and six are considered potential sites

for the production and recovery of methane gas 5657

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 ndash Figure 10 Solid

Airports

During peak air travel times in the US there are approximately 50000 airplanes in the sky each day

Ensuring safe operations of commercial and private aircrafts are the responsibility of air traffic

controllers Modern software host computers voice communication systems and instituted full scale

glide path angle capabilities assist air traffic controllers in tracking and communicating with aircrafts

consequently reliable electricity is extremely important and present an opportunity for a fuel cell power

application 58

There are approximately 103 airports in Maine including 47 that are open to the public and have

scheduled services Of those 47 airports six (Table 3) have 2500 or more passengers enplaned each

Military The US Department of Defense (DOD) is the largest funding organization in terms of supporting fuel

cell activities for military applications in the world DOD organizations are using fuel cells for

Stationary units for power supply in bases

Fuel cell units in transport applications

Portable units for equipping individual soldiers or group of soldiers

In a collaborative partnership with the DOE the DOD plans to install and operate 18 fuel cell backup

power systems at eight of its military installations two of which are located within the Northeast region

(New York and New Jersey)60

In addition the Portsmouth Naval Shipyard (PSNY) in Kittery Maine

occupies more than 297 acres on base employs approximately 4500 civilian employees and 100 naval

officers in addition to enlisted personal assigned to the shipyard and is a potential application for

hydrogen and fuel cell technology (Appendix I ndash Figure 11 Commercial Airports) 61

POTENTIAL TRANSPORTATION TARGETS

Transportation is responsible for one-fourth of the total global GHG emissions and consumes 75 percent

of the worldrsquos oil production In 2010 the US used 21 million barrels of non-renewable petroleum each

day Roughly 29 percent of Mainersquos energy consumption is due to demands of the transportation sector

including gasoline and on-highway diesel petroleum for automobiles trucks and buses A small percent

of non-renewable petroleum is used for jet and ship fuel62

The current economy in the US 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)6364

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

10170 15770 and 182984 pounds per year respectively66

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 4390

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 $1866 per light duty truck and $17560 per bus67

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

US DOE has projected that between 151 million and 239 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 fuels68

Mainersquos opportunities to support these new vehicles include alternative fueling stations Maine

Department of Transportation (MDOT) refueling stations bus transit operations government public and

privately owned fleets and material handling and airport ground support equipment (GSE) Graphical

representation of these opportunities analyzed are depicted in Appendix I

Alternative Fueling Stations

There are approximately 1400 retail fueling stations in Maine69

however only 10 public andor private

stations within the state provide alternative fuels such as biodiesel compressed natural gas propane

andor electricity for alternative-fueled vehicles70

There are also at least 17 refueling stations owned and

operated by MDOT 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 71

Development of

hydrogen fueling at alternative fuel stations and at selected locations owned and operated by MDOT

would help facilitate the deployment of FCEVs within the state (Appendix I ndash Figure 12 Alternative

Fueling Stations) Currently there are approximately 18 existing or planned transportation fueling

stations in the Northeast region where hydrogen is provided as an alternative fuel72737475

Fleets

There are over 7000 fleet vehicles (excluding state and federal vehicles) classified as non-leasing or

company owned vehicles in Maine 76

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 are an additional 1781 passenger automobiles andor light duty trucks in Maine

owned by state and federal agencies (excluding state police) that traveled a combined 14965373 miles in

2010 while releasing 1031 metrics tons of CO2 77

Conversion of fleet vehicles from conventional fossil

fuels to FCEVs could significantly reduce petroleum consumption and GHG emissions Fleet vehicle

hubs are 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 61 directly operated buses that provide public transportation services in Maine78

As discussed above replacement of a conventional diesel transit bus with a fuel cell transit bus would

result in the reduction of CO2 emissions (estimated at approximately 183000 pounds per year) and

reduction of diesel fuel (estimated at approximately 4390 gallons per year)79

Although the efficiency of

conventional diesel buses has increased conventional diesel buses which typically achieve fuel economy

performance levels of 39 miles per gallon have the greatest potential for energy savings by using high

efficiency fuel cells In addition to Maine other states have also begun the transition of fueling transit

buses with alternative fuels to improve efficiency and environmental performance

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

15 times lower maintenance cost

8 times lower refuelingrecharging labor cost

2 times lower net present value of total operations and management (OampM) system cost

Fuel cell powered material handling equipment is already in use at dozens of warehouses distribution

centers and manufacturing plants in North America80

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 IX for a partial list of companies in North America that using

fuel cell powered forklifts)81

There are approximately five distribution centerswarehouse sites that have

been identified in Maine that may benefit from the use of fuel cell powered material handling equipment

(Appendix I ndash Figure 13 Distribution CentersWarehouses amp Ports)

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

GSEs82

Potential large end-users of GSE that serve Mainersquos largest airports include Air Canada Delta

Airlines Continental JetBlue United and US Airways83

(Appendix I ndash Figure 11 Commercial

Airports)

Ports

Maine has 3480 miles of coastline with six cargo ports and 13 cruise ship ports The ports of Portland

and Bath Maine which service large vessels such as container ships tankers bulk carriers and cruise

ships may be candidates for improved energy management Commercial marine vessels (cargo ships

entering and leaving Marine ports) contribute approximately 166 tons of volatile organic compounds

(VOC) 1134 tons of NOX 374 tons of CO 124 tons of sulfur dioxide SO2 and 91 tons of particulate

matter (PM10) per year84

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 90000 cargo ships contains up to 2000 times the amount of

sulfur compared to diesel fuel used in automobiles85

Furthermore diesel emissions from cruise ships

while at port are a significant source of air pollution While docked vessels shut off their main engines

but use auxiliary diesel and steam engines to power refrigeration lights pumps and other functions a

process called ldquocold-ironing 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

The applications of fuel cell technology at ports may also provide electric and thermal energy for

improving energy management for warehouses and equipment operated between terminals (Appendix I ndash

As shown in Table 5 the analysis provided here estimates that there are approximately 266 potential

locations which may be favorable candidates for the application of a fuel cell to provide heat and power

Assuming the demand for electricity was uniform throughout the year approximately 150 to 192 fuel cell

units with a capacity of 300 ndash 400 kW could be deployed for a total fuel cell capacity of 58 to 77 MWs

If opportunities for fuel cell use in Maine identified in this report are met with 300 kW units a minimum

of 473040 MWh electric and 127 million MMBTUs (equivalent to 373404 MWh) of thermal energy

would be produced which could reduce CO2 emissions by at least 90824 tons per year 100

Maine 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

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 Maine benefits from secondary impacts of indirect and

induced employment and revenue4 Furthermore Maine 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 strengths weaknesses opportunities

and threats (SWOT) assessment for Maine is provided in Appendix VII

Industries in the Northeast including those in Maine are facing increased pressure to reduce costs fuel

consumption and emissions that may be contributing to climate change Mainersquos relative proximity to

major load centers the high cost of electricity concerns over regional air quality available federal tax

incentives and legislative mandates in Maine 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 Mainersquos incentives and renewable energy programs

Some specific factors that are driving the market for hydrogen and fuel cell technology in Maine include

the following

The current Renewable Portfolio Standards (RPS) recognizes fuel cells and fuel cells that run on

renewable fuels as a ldquoClass Irdquo renewable energy sources and calls for an increase in renewable

energy used in the state from its current level of approximately three percent to approximately ten

percent by 2017 ndash promotes stationary power and transportation applications

5

Net Metering ndash In June 2011 Gov Paul LePage signed legislation requiring the Maine Public

Utilities Commission (PUC) to amend the net energy rules to develop contract terms for net

energy billing and interconnection agreements Furthermore the bill allows the PUC to amend

net energy billing rules following routine technical rules and will enable the PUC to amend net

energy billing without having to send the amendments to the legislature for approval ndash promotes

stationary power applications6

Maine is one of the states in the ten-state region that is part of the Regional Greenhouse Gas

Initiative (RGGI) the nationrsquos first mandatory market-based program to reduce emissions of

carbon dioxide (CO2) RGGIs goals are to stabilize and cap emissions at 188 million tons

annually from 2009-2014 and to reduce CO2-emissions by 25 percent per year from 2015-20187

ndash promotes stationary power and transportation applications

In June 2009 Maine enacted the Act regarding Maines energy future that established the

Efficiency Maine Trust which is responsible for creating a plan to reach the following energy

efficiency targets

o 100 MW reduction in peak-load electricity consumption by 2020

o 30 percent reduction in electricity and natural gas consumption

o 20 percent reduction in heating fuel consumption

4 Maine does not have any original equipment manufacturers (OEM) of hydrogenfuel cell systems so it has no ldquodirectrdquo economic

o Weatherization of 100 percent of homes and 50 percent of businesses by 2030

o Capturing all cost-effective efficiency resources available for utility customers ndash

promotes stationary power and transportation applications8

The Finance Authority of Maine (Authority) manages the Clean Fuel Vehicle Fund which is a

non-lapsing revolving loan fund that may be used for direct loans and grants to support

production distribution and consumption of clean fuels and biofuels (including fuel cells) The

Authority may also insure up to 100 percent of a loan for a clean fuel or biofuel project ndash

promotes transportation applications9

By December 1 2012 the Maine Office of Energy Independence and Security (Office) must

develop a plan to reduce petroleum consumption in all sectors of the economy with the overall

goal of reducing petroleum consumption in the state by at least 30 percent and 50 percent based

on 2007 levels by 2030 and 2050 respectively ndash promotes transportation applications10

Maine has established a policy that prohibits the Maine State Purchasing Agent from purchasing

or leasing any car or light-duty truck for use by any state department or agency unless the car or

truck has a manufacturers estimated highway mileage rating of at least 45 miles per gallon (mpg)

or 35 mpg respectively ndash promotes transportation applications11

The Transportation Efficiency Fund is a non-lapsing fund managed by the Maine Department of

Transportation to increase energy efficiency and reduce reliance on fossil fuels within the states

transportation system Funding may be used for zero emission vehicles biofuel and other

alternative fuel vehicles congestion mitigation and air quality initiatives rail public transit and

car or van pooling ndash promotes transportation applications12

ECONOMIC IMPACT

The hydrogen and fuel cell industry has direct indirect and induced impacts on local and regional

economies 13

A new hydrogen andor fuel cell project directly affects the arearsquos 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

Maine is home to at least 28 companies that are part of the growing hydrogen and fuel cell industry

supply chain in the Northeast region Appendix V lists the hydrogen and fuel cell supply chain companies

in Maine Realizing over $2 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 (RampD) coating applications and managing of venture

capital funds 14

Furthermore the hydrogen and fuel cell industry is estimated to have contributed

approximately $113000 in state and local tax revenue and over $29 million in gross state product

approximately 113 million MWh and is forecasted to grow at a rate of 09 percent annually over the next

decade1718

Figure 1 illustrates the percent of total energy consumed by each sector in Maine A more

detailed breakout of energy usage is provided in Appendix II

This demand represents approximately nine percent of the population in New England and nine percent of

the regionrsquos total electricity consumption The State relies on both in-state resources and imports of

power over the regionrsquos transmission system to serve electricity to customers Net electrical demand in

Maine industries was 1288 MW in 2009 and is projected to increase by approximately 50 MW by 2015

Further the statersquos overall electricity demand is forecasted to grow at a rate of 09 percent (15 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

3400 MW in total capacity of generation plants Maine represents 11 percent of the total capacity in New

England As shown in Figure 2 natural gas was the primary energy source for electricity consumed in

Maine for 2009 19

Fuel cell systems have many advantages over conventional technologies including

High fuel-to-electricity efficiency (gt 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 systems20

Fuel cells can be deployed as a CHP technology that provides both power and thermal energy and can

increase 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 emissions21

Based on the

targets identified within this plan there is the potential to develop at least 58 MWs of stationary fuel cell

generation capacity in Maine which would provide the following benefits annually

Production of approximately 473000 MWh of electricity

Production of approximately 127 million MMBTUs of thermal energy

Reduction of CO2 emissions of approximately 90000 tons (electric generation only)22

For the purpose of this plan applications have been explored with a focus on fuel cells in the 300 kW to

400 kW range 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 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 high electricity consumption selected government

buildings public works facilities and energy intensive industries

The Energy Information Agencys (EIA) Commercial Building Energy Consumption Survey (CBECS_

identifies the building types listed below as having high electricity consumption They are the best

candidates for on-site generation and CHP applications These selected building types making up the

CBECS subcategory within the commercial industry include

Education

Food Sales

Food Services

Inpatient Healthcare

Lodging

Public Order amp Safety23

As illustrated in Figure 3 these selected building types within the commercial sector is estimated to

account for approximately 15 percent of Mainersquos total electrical consumption Appendix II further

Education

There are approximately 145 non-public schools and 780 public schools (134 of which are considered

high schools with 100 or more students enrolled) in Maine2425

High schools operate for a longer period

of time daily due to extracurricular after school activities such as clubs and athletics Furthermore two

of these schools have swimming pools which may make these sites especially attractive because it would

increase the utilization of and make more efficient the electrical and thermal output offered by a fuel cell

There are also 39 colleges and universities in Maine Colleges and universities have facilities for

students faculty administration and maintenance crews that typically include dormitories cafeterias

gyms libraries and athletic departments ndash some with swimming pools Of these 173 locations (134 high

schools and 39 colleges) 65 are located in communities serviced by natural gas (Appendix I ndash Figure 1

Education)

Educational establishments in other states such as Connecticut and New York have shown interest in fuel

cell technology Examples of existing or planned fuel cell applications include South Windsor High

School (CT) Liverpool High School (NY) Rochester Institute of Technology Yale University

Food Sales

There are over 1800 businesses in Maine known to be engaged in the retail sale of food Food sales

establishments are good candidates for fuel cells based on their electrical demand and thermal

requirements for heating and refrigeration Approximately 80 of these sites are considered larger food

sales businesses with approximately 60 or more employees at their site 26

Of these 80 large food sales

businesses 45 are located in communities serviced by natural gas (Appendix I ndash Figure 2 Food Sales)27

The application of a large fuel cell (gt300 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 Wholefoods and Stop and Shop have shown

interest in powering their stores with fuel cells in Massachusetts Connecticut and New York28

In

addition grocery distribution centers like the one operated by Shaws (a Supervalu brand) in Wells

Maine 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 2100 businesses in Maine that can be classified as food service establishments used for

the preparation and sale of food and beverages for consumption29

15 of these sites are considered larger

restaurant businesses with 130 or more employees at their site and are located in Maine communities

serviced by natural gas (Appendix I ndash Figure 3 Food Services)30

The application of a large fuel cell

(gt300 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

load31

In other parts of the US popular chains such as McDonalds are beginning to show an interest in

the smaller sized fuel cell units for the provision of electricity and thermal energy including domestic

water heating at food service establishments32

26

On average food sale facilities consume 43000 kWh of electricity per worker on an annual basis When compared to current

fuel cell technology (gt300 kW) which satisfies annual electricity consumption loads between 2628000 ndash 3504000 kWh

calculations show food sales facilities employing more than 61 workers may represent favorable opportunities for the application

of a larger fuel cell 27 EIA Description of CBECS Building Types wwweiagovemeucbecsbuilding_typeshtml 28 Clean Energy States Alliance (CESA) ldquoFuel Cells for Supermarkets ndash Cleaner Energy with Fuel Cell Combined Heat and

Inpatient Healthcare

There are over 181 inpatient healthcare facilities in Maine 42 of which are classified as hospitals33

Of

these 42 hospitals eight are located in communities serviced by natural gas and contain 100 or more beds

onsite (Appendix I ndash 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 247 with a relatively flat load curve Furthermore medical equipment patient

rooms sterilizedoperating 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 a fuel cell Nationally hospital energy costs have increased 56 percent from $389 per square foot

in 2003 to $607 per square foot for 2010 partially due to the increased cost of energy34

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

Wireless Telecommunication Sites

Telecommunications companies rely on electricity to run call centers cell phone towers and other vital

equipment In Maine there are approximately 509 telecommunications andor wireless company tower

sites (Appendix I ndash 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 this is typically accomplished with batteries or

conventional emergency generators48

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 back-up power is a T-Mobile facility located in Storrs Connecticut

Wastewater Treatment Plants (WWTPs) There are 111 WWTPs in Maine that have design flows ranging from 3000 gallons per day (GPD) to 16

million gallons per day (MGD) seven of these facilities average between 3 ndash 16 MGD WWTPs

typically operate 247 and may be able to utilize the thermal energy from the fuel cell to process fats oils

and grease49

WWTPs account for approximately three percent of the electric load in the United State50

Digester gas produced at WWTPrsquos 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 methane51

Most facilities currently represent a

lost opportunity to capture and use the digestion of methane emissions created from their operations

(Appendix I ndash Figure 10 Solid and Liquid Waste Sites) 5253

A 200 kW fuel cell power plant in Yonkers New York was the worldrsquos first commercial fuel cell to run

on a waste gas created at a wastewater treatment plant The fuel cell generates about 1600 MWh of

electricity a year and reduces methane emissions released to the environment54

Landfill Methane Outreach Program (LMOP)

There are 11 landfills in Maine identified by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) through their

LMOP program two of which are operational two are candidates and six are considered potential sites

for the production and recovery of methane gas 5657

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 ndash Figure 10 Solid

Ensuring safe operations of commercial and private aircrafts are the responsibility of air traffic

controllers Modern software host computers voice communication systems and instituted full scale

glide path angle capabilities assist air traffic controllers in tracking and communicating with aircrafts

consequently reliable electricity is extremely important and present an opportunity for a fuel cell power

application 58

There are approximately 103 airports in Maine including 47 that are open to the public and have

Military The US Department of Defense (DOD) is the largest funding organization in terms of supporting fuel

cell activities for military applications in the world DOD organizations are using fuel cells for

Stationary units for power supply in bases

Fuel cell units in transport applications

Portable units for equipping individual soldiers or group of soldiers

In a collaborative partnership with the DOE the DOD plans to install and operate 18 fuel cell backup

power systems at eight of its military installations two of which are located within the Northeast region

(New York and New Jersey)60

In addition the Portsmouth Naval Shipyard (PSNY) in Kittery Maine

occupies more than 297 acres on base employs approximately 4500 civilian employees and 100 naval

officers in addition to enlisted personal assigned to the shipyard and is a potential application for

hydrogen and fuel cell technology (Appendix I ndash Figure 11 Commercial Airports) 61

POTENTIAL TRANSPORTATION TARGETS

Transportation is responsible for one-fourth of the total global GHG emissions and consumes 75 percent

of the worldrsquos oil production In 2010 the US used 21 million barrels of non-renewable petroleum each

day Roughly 29 percent of Mainersquos energy consumption is due to demands of the transportation sector

including gasoline and on-highway diesel petroleum for automobiles trucks and buses A small percent

of non-renewable petroleum is used for jet and ship fuel62

The current economy in the US 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)6364

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

10170 15770 and 182984 pounds per year respectively66

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 4390

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 $1866 per light duty truck and $17560 per bus67

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

US DOE has projected that between 151 million and 239 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 fuels68

Mainersquos opportunities to support these new vehicles include alternative fueling stations Maine

Department of Transportation (MDOT) refueling stations bus transit operations government public and

privately owned fleets and material handling and airport ground support equipment (GSE) Graphical

representation of these opportunities analyzed are depicted in Appendix I

Alternative Fueling Stations

There are approximately 1400 retail fueling stations in Maine69

however only 10 public andor private

stations within the state provide alternative fuels such as biodiesel compressed natural gas propane

andor electricity for alternative-fueled vehicles70

There are also at least 17 refueling stations owned and

operated by MDOT 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 71

Development of

hydrogen fueling at alternative fuel stations and at selected locations owned and operated by MDOT

would help facilitate the deployment of FCEVs within the state (Appendix I ndash Figure 12 Alternative

Fueling Stations) Currently there are approximately 18 existing or planned transportation fueling

stations in the Northeast region where hydrogen is provided as an alternative fuel72737475

Fleets

There are over 7000 fleet vehicles (excluding state and federal vehicles) classified as non-leasing or

company owned vehicles in Maine 76

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 are an additional 1781 passenger automobiles andor light duty trucks in Maine

owned by state and federal agencies (excluding state police) that traveled a combined 14965373 miles in

2010 while releasing 1031 metrics tons of CO2 77

Conversion of fleet vehicles from conventional fossil

fuels to FCEVs could significantly reduce petroleum consumption and GHG emissions Fleet vehicle

hubs are 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 61 directly operated buses that provide public transportation services in Maine78

As discussed above replacement of a conventional diesel transit bus with a fuel cell transit bus would

result in the reduction of CO2 emissions (estimated at approximately 183000 pounds per year) and

reduction of diesel fuel (estimated at approximately 4390 gallons per year)79

Although the efficiency of

conventional diesel buses has increased conventional diesel buses which typically achieve fuel economy

performance levels of 39 miles per gallon have the greatest potential for energy savings by using high

efficiency fuel cells In addition to Maine other states have also begun the transition of fueling transit

buses with alternative fuels to improve efficiency and environmental performance

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

15 times lower maintenance cost

8 times lower refuelingrecharging labor cost

2 times lower net present value of total operations and management (OampM) system cost

63 percent less emissions of GHG (Appendix X 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 America80

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 IX for a partial list of companies in North America that using

fuel cell powered forklifts)81

There are approximately five distribution centerswarehouse sites that have

been identified in Maine that may benefit from the use of fuel cell powered material handling equipment

(Appendix I ndash Figure 13 Distribution CentersWarehouses amp Ports)

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

GSEs82

Potential large end-users of GSE that serve Mainersquos largest airports include Air Canada Delta

Airlines Continental JetBlue United and US Airways83

(Appendix I ndash Figure 11 Commercial

Airports)

Ports

Maine has 3480 miles of coastline with six cargo ports and 13 cruise ship ports The ports of Portland

and Bath Maine which service large vessels such as container ships tankers bulk carriers and cruise

ships may be candidates for improved energy management Commercial marine vessels (cargo ships

entering and leaving Marine ports) contribute approximately 166 tons of volatile organic compounds

(VOC) 1134 tons of NOX 374 tons of CO 124 tons of sulfur dioxide SO2 and 91 tons of particulate

matter (PM10) per year84

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 90000 cargo ships contains up to 2000 times the amount of

sulfur compared to diesel fuel used in automobiles85

Furthermore diesel emissions from cruise ships

while at port are a significant source of air pollution While docked vessels shut off their main engines

but use auxiliary diesel and steam engines to power refrigeration lights pumps and other functions a

process called ldquocold-ironing 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

The applications of fuel cell technology at ports may also provide electric and thermal energy for

improving energy management for warehouses and equipment operated between terminals (Appendix I ndash

As shown in Table 5 the analysis provided here estimates that there are approximately 266 potential

locations which may be favorable candidates for the application of a fuel cell to provide heat and power

Assuming the demand for electricity was uniform throughout the year approximately 150 to 192 fuel cell

units with a capacity of 300 ndash 400 kW could be deployed for a total fuel cell capacity of 58 to 77 MWs

If opportunities for fuel cell use in Maine identified in this report are met with 300 kW units a minimum

of 473040 MWh electric and 127 million MMBTUs (equivalent to 373404 MWh) of thermal energy

would be produced which could reduce CO2 emissions by at least 90824 tons per year 100

Maine 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

ECONOMIC IMPACT

The hydrogen and fuel cell industry has direct indirect and induced impacts on local and regional

economies 13

A new hydrogen andor fuel cell project directly affects the arearsquos 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

Maine is home to at least 28 companies that are part of the growing hydrogen and fuel cell industry

supply chain in the Northeast region Appendix V lists the hydrogen and fuel cell supply chain companies

in Maine Realizing over $2 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 (RampD) coating applications and managing of venture

capital funds 14

Furthermore the hydrogen and fuel cell industry is estimated to have contributed

approximately $113000 in state and local tax revenue and over $29 million in gross state product

POTENTIAL STATIONARY TARGETS

In 2009 Maine consumed the equivalent of 12614 million megawatt-hours of energy from the

transportation residential industrial and commercial sectors16

Electricity consumption in Maine was

approximately 113 million MWh and is forecasted to grow at a rate of 09 percent annually over the next

decade1718

Figure 1 illustrates the percent of total energy consumed by each sector in Maine A more

detailed breakout of energy usage is provided in Appendix II

This demand represents approximately nine percent of the population in New England and nine percent of

the regionrsquos total electricity consumption The State relies on both in-state resources and imports of

power over the regionrsquos transmission system to serve electricity to customers Net electrical demand in

Maine industries was 1288 MW in 2009 and is projected to increase by approximately 50 MW by 2015

Further the statersquos overall electricity demand is forecasted to grow at a rate of 09 percent (15 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

3400 MW in total capacity of generation plants Maine represents 11 percent of the total capacity in New

England As shown in Figure 2 natural gas was the primary energy source for electricity consumed in

Maine for 2009 19

Fuel cell systems have many advantages over conventional technologies including

High fuel-to-electricity efficiency (gt 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 systems20

Fuel cells can be deployed as a CHP technology that provides both power and thermal energy and can

increase 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 emissions21

Based on the

targets identified within this plan there is the potential to develop at least 58 MWs of stationary fuel cell

generation capacity in Maine which would provide the following benefits annually

Production of approximately 473000 MWh of electricity

Production of approximately 127 million MMBTUs of thermal energy

Reduction of CO2 emissions of approximately 90000 tons (electric generation only)22

For the purpose of this plan applications have been explored with a focus on fuel cells in the 300 kW to

400 kW range 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 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 high electricity consumption selected government

buildings public works facilities and energy intensive industries

The Energy Information Agencys (EIA) Commercial Building Energy Consumption Survey (CBECS_

identifies the building types listed below as having high electricity consumption They are the best

candidates for on-site generation and CHP applications These selected building types making up the

CBECS subcategory within the commercial industry include

Education

Food Sales

Food Services

Inpatient Healthcare

Lodging

Public Order amp Safety23

As illustrated in Figure 3 these selected building types within the commercial sector is estimated to

account for approximately 15 percent of Mainersquos total electrical consumption Appendix II further

Education

There are approximately 145 non-public schools and 780 public schools (134 of which are considered

high schools with 100 or more students enrolled) in Maine2425

High schools operate for a longer period

of time daily due to extracurricular after school activities such as clubs and athletics Furthermore two

of these schools have swimming pools which may make these sites especially attractive because it would

increase the utilization of and make more efficient the electrical and thermal output offered by a fuel cell

There are also 39 colleges and universities in Maine Colleges and universities have facilities for

students faculty administration and maintenance crews that typically include dormitories cafeterias

gyms libraries and athletic departments ndash some with swimming pools Of these 173 locations (134 high

schools and 39 colleges) 65 are located in communities serviced by natural gas (Appendix I ndash Figure 1

Education)

Educational establishments in other states such as Connecticut and New York have shown interest in fuel

Food Sales

There are over 1800 businesses in Maine known to be engaged in the retail sale of food Food sales

establishments are good candidates for fuel cells based on their electrical demand and thermal

requirements for heating and refrigeration Approximately 80 of these sites are considered larger food

sales businesses with approximately 60 or more employees at their site 26

Of these 80 large food sales

businesses 45 are located in communities serviced by natural gas (Appendix I ndash Figure 2 Food Sales)27

The application of a large fuel cell (gt300 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 Wholefoods and Stop and Shop have shown

interest in powering their stores with fuel cells in Massachusetts Connecticut and New York28

In

addition grocery distribution centers like the one operated by Shaws (a Supervalu brand) in Wells

Maine 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 2100 businesses in Maine that can be classified as food service establishments used for

the preparation and sale of food and beverages for consumption29

15 of these sites are considered larger

restaurant businesses with 130 or more employees at their site and are located in Maine communities

serviced by natural gas (Appendix I ndash Figure 3 Food Services)30

The application of a large fuel cell

(gt300 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

load31

In other parts of the US popular chains such as McDonalds are beginning to show an interest in

the smaller sized fuel cell units for the provision of electricity and thermal energy including domestic

water heating at food service establishments32

26

On average food sale facilities consume 43000 kWh of electricity per worker on an annual basis When compared to current

fuel cell technology (gt300 kW) which satisfies annual electricity consumption loads between 2628000 ndash 3504000 kWh

Inpatient Healthcare

There are over 181 inpatient healthcare facilities in Maine 42 of which are classified as hospitals33

Of

these 42 hospitals eight are located in communities serviced by natural gas and contain 100 or more beds

onsite (Appendix I ndash 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 247 with a relatively flat load curve Furthermore medical equipment patient

rooms sterilizedoperating 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 a fuel cell Nationally hospital energy costs have increased 56 percent from $389 per square foot

in 2003 to $607 per square foot for 2010 partially due to the increased cost of energy34

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

Government Owned Buildings

Buildings operated by the federal government can be found at 114 locations in Maine four of these

properties are actively owned rather than leased by the federal government and are located in

communities serviced by natural gas (Appendix I ndash Figure 8 Federal Government Operated Buildings)

There are also a number of buildings owned and operated by the State of Maine 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

Wireless Telecommunication Sites

Telecommunications companies rely on electricity to run call centers cell phone towers and other vital

equipment In Maine there are approximately 509 telecommunications andor wireless company tower

sites (Appendix I ndash 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 this is typically accomplished with batteries or

conventional emergency generators48

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 back-up power is a T-Mobile facility located in Storrs Connecticut

Wastewater Treatment Plants (WWTPs) There are 111 WWTPs in Maine that have design flows ranging from 3000 gallons per day (GPD) to 16

million gallons per day (MGD) seven of these facilities average between 3 ndash 16 MGD WWTPs

typically operate 247 and may be able to utilize the thermal energy from the fuel cell to process fats oils

and grease49

WWTPs account for approximately three percent of the electric load in the United State50

Digester gas produced at WWTPrsquos 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 methane51

Most facilities currently represent a

lost opportunity to capture and use the digestion of methane emissions created from their operations

(Appendix I ndash Figure 10 Solid and Liquid Waste Sites) 5253

A 200 kW fuel cell power plant in Yonkers New York was the worldrsquos first commercial fuel cell to run

on a waste gas created at a wastewater treatment plant The fuel cell generates about 1600 MWh of

electricity a year and reduces methane emissions released to the environment54

Landfill Methane Outreach Program (LMOP)

There are 11 landfills in Maine identified by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) through their

LMOP program two of which are operational two are candidates and six are considered potential sites

for the production and recovery of methane gas 5657

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 ndash Figure 10 Solid

POTENTIAL TRANSPORTATION TARGETS

Transportation is responsible for one-fourth of the total global GHG emissions and consumes 75 percent

of the worldrsquos oil production In 2010 the US used 21 million barrels of non-renewable petroleum each

day Roughly 29 percent of Mainersquos energy consumption is due to demands of the transportation sector

including gasoline and on-highway diesel petroleum for automobiles trucks and buses A small percent

of non-renewable petroleum is used for jet and ship fuel62

The current economy in the US 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)6364

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

10170 15770 and 182984 pounds per year respectively66

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 4390

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 $1866 per light duty truck and $17560 per bus67

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

US DOE has projected that between 151 million and 239 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 fuels68

Mainersquos opportunities to support these new vehicles include alternative fueling stations Maine

Department of Transportation (MDOT) refueling stations bus transit operations government public and

privately owned fleets and material handling and airport ground support equipment (GSE) Graphical

representation of these opportunities analyzed are depicted in Appendix I

Alternative Fueling Stations

There are approximately 1400 retail fueling stations in Maine69

however only 10 public andor private

stations within the state provide alternative fuels such as biodiesel compressed natural gas propane

andor electricity for alternative-fueled vehicles70

There are also at least 17 refueling stations owned and

operated by MDOT 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 71

Development of

hydrogen fueling at alternative fuel stations and at selected locations owned and operated by MDOT

would help facilitate the deployment of FCEVs within the state (Appendix I ndash Figure 12 Alternative

Fueling Stations) Currently there are approximately 18 existing or planned transportation fueling

stations in the Northeast region where hydrogen is provided as an alternative fuel72737475

Fleets

There are over 7000 fleet vehicles (excluding state and federal vehicles) classified as non-leasing or

company owned vehicles in Maine 76

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 are an additional 1781 passenger automobiles andor light duty trucks in Maine

owned by state and federal agencies (excluding state police) that traveled a combined 14965373 miles in

2010 while releasing 1031 metrics tons of CO2 77

Conversion of fleet vehicles from conventional fossil

fuels to FCEVs could significantly reduce petroleum consumption and GHG emissions Fleet vehicle

hubs are 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 61 directly operated buses that provide public transportation services in Maine78

As discussed above replacement of a conventional diesel transit bus with a fuel cell transit bus would

result in the reduction of CO2 emissions (estimated at approximately 183000 pounds per year) and

reduction of diesel fuel (estimated at approximately 4390 gallons per year)79

Although the efficiency of

conventional diesel buses has increased conventional diesel buses which typically achieve fuel economy

performance levels of 39 miles per gallon have the greatest potential for energy savings by using high

efficiency fuel cells In addition to Maine other states have also begun the transition of fueling transit

buses with alternative fuels to improve efficiency and environmental performance

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

15 times lower maintenance cost

8 times lower refuelingrecharging labor cost

2 times lower net present value of total operations and management (OampM) system cost

63 percent less emissions of GHG (Appendix X 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 America80

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 IX for a partial list of companies in North America that using

fuel cell powered forklifts)81

There are approximately five distribution centerswarehouse sites that have

been identified in Maine that may benefit from the use of fuel cell powered material handling equipment

(Appendix I ndash Figure 13 Distribution CentersWarehouses amp Ports)

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

GSEs82

Potential large end-users of GSE that serve Mainersquos largest airports include Air Canada Delta

Airlines Continental JetBlue United and US Airways83

(Appendix I ndash Figure 11 Commercial

Airports)

Ports

Maine has 3480 miles of coastline with six cargo ports and 13 cruise ship ports The ports of Portland

and Bath Maine which service large vessels such as container ships tankers bulk carriers and cruise

ships may be candidates for improved energy management Commercial marine vessels (cargo ships

entering and leaving Marine ports) contribute approximately 166 tons of volatile organic compounds

(VOC) 1134 tons of NOX 374 tons of CO 124 tons of sulfur dioxide SO2 and 91 tons of particulate

matter (PM10) per year84

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 90000 cargo ships contains up to 2000 times the amount of

sulfur compared to diesel fuel used in automobiles85

Furthermore diesel emissions from cruise ships

while at port are a significant source of air pollution While docked vessels shut off their main engines

but use auxiliary diesel and steam engines to power refrigeration lights pumps and other functions a

process called ldquocold-ironing 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

The applications of fuel cell technology at ports may also provide electric and thermal energy for

improving energy management for warehouses and equipment operated between terminals (Appendix I ndash

As shown in Table 5 the analysis provided here estimates that there are approximately 266 potential

locations which may be favorable candidates for the application of a fuel cell to provide heat and power

Assuming the demand for electricity was uniform throughout the year approximately 150 to 192 fuel cell

units with a capacity of 300 ndash 400 kW could be deployed for a total fuel cell capacity of 58 to 77 MWs

If opportunities for fuel cell use in Maine identified in this report are met with 300 kW units a minimum

of 473040 MWh electric and 127 million MMBTUs (equivalent to 373404 MWh) of thermal energy

would be produced which could reduce CO2 emissions by at least 90824 tons per year 100

Maine 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

bull Replacement of a gasoline-fueled passenger vehicle with FCEVs could result in annual CO2

emission reductions (per vehicle) of approximately 10170 pounds annual energy savings of 230

gallons of gasoline and annual fuel cost savings of $885

bull Replacement of a gasoline-fueled light duty truck with FCEVs could result in annual CO2

emission reductions (per light duty truck) of approximately 15770 pounds annual energy savings

of 485 gallons of gasoline and annual fuel cost savings of $1866

bull Replacement of a diesel-fueled transit bus with a fuel cell powered bus could result in annual CO2

emission reductions (per bus) of approximately 182984 pounds annual energy savings of 4390

gallons of fuel and annual fuel cost savings of $17560

Hydrogen and fuel cell technology also provides significant opportunities for job creation andor

economic development Realizing over $2 million in revenue and investment in 2010 the hydrogen and

fuel cell industry in Maine is estimated to have contributed approximately $113000 in state and local tax

revenue and over $29 million in gross state product Currently there are at least 30 Maine companies

that are part of the growing hydrogen and fuel cell industry supply chain in the Northeast region If

neweremerging hydrogen and fuel cell technology were to gain momentum the number of companies

and employment for the industry could grow substantially

99 Airport facilities with 2500+ annual Enplanement Counts andor AASF 100

If opportunities for fuel cell use in Maine identified in this report are met with 400 kW units a minimum of 665760 MWh

electric and 312 million MMBTUs (equivalent to 915127 MWh) of thermal energy would be produced which could reduce CO2

ECONOMIC IMPACT

The hydrogen and fuel cell industry has direct indirect and induced impacts on local and regional

economies 13

A new hydrogen andor fuel cell project directly affects the arearsquos 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

Maine is home to at least 28 companies that are part of the growing hydrogen and fuel cell industry

supply chain in the Northeast region Appendix V lists the hydrogen and fuel cell supply chain companies

in Maine Realizing over $2 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 (RampD) coating applications and managing of venture

capital funds 14

Furthermore the hydrogen and fuel cell industry is estimated to have contributed

approximately $113000 in state and local tax revenue and over $29 million in gross state product

POTENTIAL STATIONARY TARGETS

In 2009 Maine consumed the equivalent of 12614 million megawatt-hours of energy from the

transportation residential industrial and commercial sectors16

Electricity consumption in Maine was

approximately 113 million MWh and is forecasted to grow at a rate of 09 percent annually over the next

decade1718

Figure 1 illustrates the percent of total energy consumed by each sector in Maine A more

detailed breakout of energy usage is provided in Appendix II

This demand represents approximately nine percent of the population in New England and nine percent of

the regionrsquos total electricity consumption The State relies on both in-state resources and imports of

power over the regionrsquos transmission system to serve electricity to customers Net electrical demand in

Maine industries was 1288 MW in 2009 and is projected to increase by approximately 50 MW by 2015

Further the statersquos overall electricity demand is forecasted to grow at a rate of 09 percent (15 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

3400 MW in total capacity of generation plants Maine represents 11 percent of the total capacity in New

England As shown in Figure 2 natural gas was the primary energy source for electricity consumed in

Maine for 2009 19

Fuel cell systems have many advantages over conventional technologies including

High fuel-to-electricity efficiency (gt 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 systems20

Fuel cells can be deployed as a CHP technology that provides both power and thermal energy and can

increase 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 emissions21

Based on the

targets identified within this plan there is the potential to develop at least 58 MWs of stationary fuel cell

generation capacity in Maine which would provide the following benefits annually

Production of approximately 473000 MWh of electricity

Production of approximately 127 million MMBTUs of thermal energy

Reduction of CO2 emissions of approximately 90000 tons (electric generation only)22

For the purpose of this plan applications have been explored with a focus on fuel cells in the 300 kW to

400 kW range 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 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 high electricity consumption selected government

buildings public works facilities and energy intensive industries

The Energy Information Agencys (EIA) Commercial Building Energy Consumption Survey (CBECS_

identifies the building types listed below as having high electricity consumption They are the best

candidates for on-site generation and CHP applications These selected building types making up the

CBECS subcategory within the commercial industry include

Education

Food Sales

Food Services

Inpatient Healthcare

Lodging

Public Order amp Safety23

As illustrated in Figure 3 these selected building types within the commercial sector is estimated to

account for approximately 15 percent of Mainersquos total electrical consumption Appendix II further

Education

There are approximately 145 non-public schools and 780 public schools (134 of which are considered

high schools with 100 or more students enrolled) in Maine2425

High schools operate for a longer period

of time daily due to extracurricular after school activities such as clubs and athletics Furthermore two

of these schools have swimming pools which may make these sites especially attractive because it would

increase the utilization of and make more efficient the electrical and thermal output offered by a fuel cell

There are also 39 colleges and universities in Maine Colleges and universities have facilities for

students faculty administration and maintenance crews that typically include dormitories cafeterias

gyms libraries and athletic departments ndash some with swimming pools Of these 173 locations (134 high

schools and 39 colleges) 65 are located in communities serviced by natural gas (Appendix I ndash Figure 1

Education)

Educational establishments in other states such as Connecticut and New York have shown interest in fuel

cell technology Examples of existing or planned fuel cell applications include South Windsor High

Food Sales

There are over 1800 businesses in Maine known to be engaged in the retail sale of food Food sales

establishments are good candidates for fuel cells based on their electrical demand and thermal

requirements for heating and refrigeration Approximately 80 of these sites are considered larger food

sales businesses with approximately 60 or more employees at their site 26

Of these 80 large food sales

businesses 45 are located in communities serviced by natural gas (Appendix I ndash Figure 2 Food Sales)27

The application of a large fuel cell (gt300 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 Wholefoods and Stop and Shop have shown

interest in powering their stores with fuel cells in Massachusetts Connecticut and New York28

In

addition grocery distribution centers like the one operated by Shaws (a Supervalu brand) in Wells

Maine 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 2100 businesses in Maine that can be classified as food service establishments used for

the preparation and sale of food and beverages for consumption29

15 of these sites are considered larger

restaurant businesses with 130 or more employees at their site and are located in Maine communities

serviced by natural gas (Appendix I ndash Figure 3 Food Services)30

The application of a large fuel cell

(gt300 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

load31

In other parts of the US popular chains such as McDonalds are beginning to show an interest in

the smaller sized fuel cell units for the provision of electricity and thermal energy including domestic

water heating at food service establishments32

26

On average food sale facilities consume 43000 kWh of electricity per worker on an annual basis When compared to current

fuel cell technology (gt300 kW) which satisfies annual electricity consumption loads between 2628000 ndash 3504000 kWh

calculations show food sales facilities employing more than 61 workers may represent favorable opportunities for the application

of a larger fuel cell 27 EIA Description of CBECS Building Types wwweiagovemeucbecsbuilding_typeshtml 28 Clean Energy States Alliance (CESA) ldquoFuel Cells for Supermarkets ndash Cleaner Energy with Fuel Cell Combined Heat and

Inpatient Healthcare

There are over 181 inpatient healthcare facilities in Maine 42 of which are classified as hospitals33

Of

these 42 hospitals eight are located in communities serviced by natural gas and contain 100 or more beds

onsite (Appendix I ndash 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 247 with a relatively flat load curve Furthermore medical equipment patient

rooms sterilizedoperating 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 a fuel cell Nationally hospital energy costs have increased 56 percent from $389 per square foot

in 2003 to $607 per square foot for 2010 partially due to the increased cost of energy34

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

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 this is typically accomplished with batteries or

conventional emergency generators48

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 back-up power is a T-Mobile facility located in Storrs Connecticut

Wastewater Treatment Plants (WWTPs) There are 111 WWTPs in Maine that have design flows ranging from 3000 gallons per day (GPD) to 16

million gallons per day (MGD) seven of these facilities average between 3 ndash 16 MGD WWTPs

typically operate 247 and may be able to utilize the thermal energy from the fuel cell to process fats oils

and grease49

WWTPs account for approximately three percent of the electric load in the United State50

Digester gas produced at WWTPrsquos 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 methane51

Most facilities currently represent a

lost opportunity to capture and use the digestion of methane emissions created from their operations

(Appendix I ndash Figure 10 Solid and Liquid Waste Sites) 5253

A 200 kW fuel cell power plant in Yonkers New York was the worldrsquos first commercial fuel cell to run

on a waste gas created at a wastewater treatment plant The fuel cell generates about 1600 MWh of

electricity a year and reduces methane emissions released to the environment54

Landfill Methane Outreach Program (LMOP)

There are 11 landfills in Maine identified by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) through their

LMOP program two of which are operational two are candidates and six are considered potential sites

for the production and recovery of methane gas 5657

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 ndash Figure 10 Solid

Airports

During peak air travel times in the US there are approximately 50000 airplanes in the sky each day

Ensuring safe operations of commercial and private aircrafts are the responsibility of air traffic

controllers Modern software host computers voice communication systems and instituted full scale

glide path angle capabilities assist air traffic controllers in tracking and communicating with aircrafts

consequently reliable electricity is extremely important and present an opportunity for a fuel cell power

application 58

There are approximately 103 airports in Maine including 47 that are open to the public and have

scheduled services Of those 47 airports six (Table 3) have 2500 or more passengers enplaned each

Military The US Department of Defense (DOD) is the largest funding organization in terms of supporting fuel

cell activities for military applications in the world DOD organizations are using fuel cells for

Stationary units for power supply in bases

Fuel cell units in transport applications

Portable units for equipping individual soldiers or group of soldiers

In a collaborative partnership with the DOE the DOD plans to install and operate 18 fuel cell backup

power systems at eight of its military installations two of which are located within the Northeast region

(New York and New Jersey)60

In addition the Portsmouth Naval Shipyard (PSNY) in Kittery Maine

occupies more than 297 acres on base employs approximately 4500 civilian employees and 100 naval

officers in addition to enlisted personal assigned to the shipyard and is a potential application for

hydrogen and fuel cell technology (Appendix I ndash Figure 11 Commercial Airports) 61

POTENTIAL TRANSPORTATION TARGETS

Transportation is responsible for one-fourth of the total global GHG emissions and consumes 75 percent

of the worldrsquos oil production In 2010 the US used 21 million barrels of non-renewable petroleum each

day Roughly 29 percent of Mainersquos energy consumption is due to demands of the transportation sector

including gasoline and on-highway diesel petroleum for automobiles trucks and buses A small percent

of non-renewable petroleum is used for jet and ship fuel62

The current economy in the US 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)6364

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

10170 15770 and 182984 pounds per year respectively66

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 4390

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 $1866 per light duty truck and $17560 per bus67

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

US DOE has projected that between 151 million and 239 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 fuels68

Mainersquos opportunities to support these new vehicles include alternative fueling stations Maine

Department of Transportation (MDOT) refueling stations bus transit operations government public and

privately owned fleets and material handling and airport ground support equipment (GSE) Graphical

representation of these opportunities analyzed are depicted in Appendix I

Alternative Fueling Stations

There are approximately 1400 retail fueling stations in Maine69

however only 10 public andor private

stations within the state provide alternative fuels such as biodiesel compressed natural gas propane

andor electricity for alternative-fueled vehicles70

There are also at least 17 refueling stations owned and

operated by MDOT 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 71

Development of

hydrogen fueling at alternative fuel stations and at selected locations owned and operated by MDOT

would help facilitate the deployment of FCEVs within the state (Appendix I ndash Figure 12 Alternative

Fueling Stations) Currently there are approximately 18 existing or planned transportation fueling

stations in the Northeast region where hydrogen is provided as an alternative fuel72737475

Fleets

There are over 7000 fleet vehicles (excluding state and federal vehicles) classified as non-leasing or

company owned vehicles in Maine 76

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 are an additional 1781 passenger automobiles andor light duty trucks in Maine

owned by state and federal agencies (excluding state police) that traveled a combined 14965373 miles in

2010 while releasing 1031 metrics tons of CO2 77

Conversion of fleet vehicles from conventional fossil

fuels to FCEVs could significantly reduce petroleum consumption and GHG emissions Fleet vehicle

hubs are 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 61 directly operated buses that provide public transportation services in Maine78

As discussed above replacement of a conventional diesel transit bus with a fuel cell transit bus would

result in the reduction of CO2 emissions (estimated at approximately 183000 pounds per year) and

reduction of diesel fuel (estimated at approximately 4390 gallons per year)79

Although the efficiency of

conventional diesel buses has increased conventional diesel buses which typically achieve fuel economy

performance levels of 39 miles per gallon have the greatest potential for energy savings by using high

efficiency fuel cells In addition to Maine other states have also begun the transition of fueling transit

buses with alternative fuels to improve efficiency and environmental performance

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

15 times lower maintenance cost

8 times lower refuelingrecharging labor cost

2 times lower net present value of total operations and management (OampM) system cost

Fuel cell powered material handling equipment is already in use at dozens of warehouses distribution

centers and manufacturing plants in North America80

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 IX for a partial list of companies in North America that using

fuel cell powered forklifts)81

There are approximately five distribution centerswarehouse sites that have

been identified in Maine that may benefit from the use of fuel cell powered material handling equipment

(Appendix I ndash Figure 13 Distribution CentersWarehouses amp Ports)

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

GSEs82

Potential large end-users of GSE that serve Mainersquos largest airports include Air Canada Delta

Airlines Continental JetBlue United and US Airways83

(Appendix I ndash Figure 11 Commercial

Airports)

Ports

Maine has 3480 miles of coastline with six cargo ports and 13 cruise ship ports The ports of Portland

and Bath Maine which service large vessels such as container ships tankers bulk carriers and cruise

ships may be candidates for improved energy management Commercial marine vessels (cargo ships

entering and leaving Marine ports) contribute approximately 166 tons of volatile organic compounds

(VOC) 1134 tons of NOX 374 tons of CO 124 tons of sulfur dioxide SO2 and 91 tons of particulate

matter (PM10) per year84

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 90000 cargo ships contains up to 2000 times the amount of

sulfur compared to diesel fuel used in automobiles85

Furthermore diesel emissions from cruise ships

while at port are a significant source of air pollution While docked vessels shut off their main engines

but use auxiliary diesel and steam engines to power refrigeration lights pumps and other functions a

process called ldquocold-ironing 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

The applications of fuel cell technology at ports may also provide electric and thermal energy for

improving energy management for warehouses and equipment operated between terminals (Appendix I ndash

As shown in Table 5 the analysis provided here estimates that there are approximately 266 potential

locations which may be favorable candidates for the application of a fuel cell to provide heat and power

Assuming the demand for electricity was uniform throughout the year approximately 150 to 192 fuel cell

units with a capacity of 300 ndash 400 kW could be deployed for a total fuel cell capacity of 58 to 77 MWs

If opportunities for fuel cell use in Maine identified in this report are met with 300 kW units a minimum

of 473040 MWh electric and 127 million MMBTUs (equivalent to 373404 MWh) of thermal energy

would be produced which could reduce CO2 emissions by at least 90824 tons per year 100

Maine 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

MAINE

POTENTIAL STATIONARY TARGETS

In 2009 Maine consumed the equivalent of 12614 million megawatt-hours of energy from the

transportation residential industrial and commercial sectors16

Electricity consumption in Maine was

approximately 113 million MWh and is forecasted to grow at a rate of 09 percent annually over the next

decade1718

Figure 1 illustrates the percent of total energy consumed by each sector in Maine A more

detailed breakout of energy usage is provided in Appendix II

This demand represents approximately nine percent of the population in New England and nine percent of

the regionrsquos total electricity consumption The State relies on both in-state resources and imports of

power over the regionrsquos transmission system to serve electricity to customers Net electrical demand in

Maine industries was 1288 MW in 2009 and is projected to increase by approximately 50 MW by 2015

Further the statersquos overall electricity demand is forecasted to grow at a rate of 09 percent (15 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

3400 MW in total capacity of generation plants Maine represents 11 percent of the total capacity in New

England As shown in Figure 2 natural gas was the primary energy source for electricity consumed in

Maine for 2009 19

MAINE

Fuel cell systems have many advantages over conventional technologies including

High fuel-to-electricity efficiency (gt 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 systems20

Fuel cells can be deployed as a CHP technology that provides both power and thermal energy and can

increase 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 emissions21

Based on the

targets identified within this plan there is the potential to develop at least 58 MWs of stationary fuel cell

generation capacity in Maine which would provide the following benefits annually

Production of approximately 473000 MWh of electricity

Production of approximately 127 million MMBTUs of thermal energy

Reduction of CO2 emissions of approximately 90000 tons (electric generation only)22

For the purpose of this plan applications have been explored with a focus on fuel cells in the 300 kW to

400 kW range 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 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 high electricity consumption selected government

buildings public works facilities and energy intensive industries

The Energy Information Agencys (EIA) Commercial Building Energy Consumption Survey (CBECS_

identifies the building types listed below as having high electricity consumption They are the best

candidates for on-site generation and CHP applications These selected building types making up the

CBECS subcategory within the commercial industry include

Education

Food Sales

Food Services

Inpatient Healthcare

Lodging

Public Order amp Safety23

As illustrated in Figure 3 these selected building types within the commercial sector is estimated to

account for approximately 15 percent of Mainersquos total electrical consumption Appendix II further

Education

There are approximately 145 non-public schools and 780 public schools (134 of which are considered

high schools with 100 or more students enrolled) in Maine2425

High schools operate for a longer period

of time daily due to extracurricular after school activities such as clubs and athletics Furthermore two

of these schools have swimming pools which may make these sites especially attractive because it would

increase the utilization of and make more efficient the electrical and thermal output offered by a fuel cell

There are also 39 colleges and universities in Maine Colleges and universities have facilities for

students faculty administration and maintenance crews that typically include dormitories cafeterias

gyms libraries and athletic departments ndash some with swimming pools Of these 173 locations (134 high

schools and 39 colleges) 65 are located in communities serviced by natural gas (Appendix I ndash Figure 1

Education)

Educational establishments in other states such as Connecticut and New York have shown interest in fuel

cell technology Examples of existing or planned fuel cell applications include South Windsor High

School (CT) Liverpool High School (NY) Rochester Institute of Technology Yale University

University of Connecticut and the State University of New York College of Environmental Science and

Food Sales

There are over 1800 businesses in Maine known to be engaged in the retail sale of food Food sales

establishments are good candidates for fuel cells based on their electrical demand and thermal

requirements for heating and refrigeration Approximately 80 of these sites are considered larger food

sales businesses with approximately 60 or more employees at their site 26

Of these 80 large food sales

businesses 45 are located in communities serviced by natural gas (Appendix I ndash Figure 2 Food Sales)27

The application of a large fuel cell (gt300 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 Wholefoods and Stop and Shop have shown

Food Service

There are over 2100 businesses in Maine that can be classified as food service establishments used for

the preparation and sale of food and beverages for consumption29

15 of these sites are considered larger

restaurant businesses with 130 or more employees at their site and are located in Maine communities

serviced by natural gas (Appendix I ndash Figure 3 Food Services)30

The application of a large fuel cell

(gt300 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

load31

In other parts of the US popular chains such as McDonalds are beginning to show an interest in

the smaller sized fuel cell units for the provision of electricity and thermal energy including domestic

water heating at food service establishments32

26

On average food sale facilities consume 43000 kWh of electricity per worker on an annual basis When compared to current

fuel cell technology (gt300 kW) which satisfies annual electricity consumption loads between 2628000 ndash 3504000 kWh

calculations show food sales facilities employing more than 61 workers may represent favorable opportunities for the application

of a larger fuel cell 27 EIA Description of CBECS Building Types wwweiagovemeucbecsbuilding_typeshtml 28 Clean Energy States Alliance (CESA) ldquoFuel Cells for Supermarkets ndash Cleaner Energy with Fuel Cell Combined Heat and

Inpatient Healthcare

There are over 181 inpatient healthcare facilities in Maine 42 of which are classified as hospitals33

Of

these 42 hospitals eight are located in communities serviced by natural gas and contain 100 or more beds

onsite (Appendix I ndash 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 247 with a relatively flat load curve Furthermore medical equipment patient

rooms sterilizedoperating 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 a fuel cell Nationally hospital energy costs have increased 56 percent from $389 per square foot

in 2003 to $607 per square foot for 2010 partially due to the increased cost of energy34

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

Government Owned Buildings

Buildings operated by the federal government can be found at 114 locations in Maine four of these

properties are actively owned rather than leased by the federal government and are located in

communities serviced by natural gas (Appendix I ndash Figure 8 Federal Government Operated Buildings)

There are also a number of buildings owned and operated by the State of Maine 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 Maine there are approximately 509 telecommunications andor wireless company tower

sites (Appendix I ndash 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 this is typically accomplished with batteries or

conventional emergency generators48

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 back-up power is a T-Mobile facility located in Storrs Connecticut

Wastewater Treatment Plants (WWTPs) There are 111 WWTPs in Maine that have design flows ranging from 3000 gallons per day (GPD) to 16

million gallons per day (MGD) seven of these facilities average between 3 ndash 16 MGD WWTPs

typically operate 247 and may be able to utilize the thermal energy from the fuel cell to process fats oils

and grease49

WWTPs account for approximately three percent of the electric load in the United State50

Digester gas produced at WWTPrsquos 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 methane51

Most facilities currently represent a

lost opportunity to capture and use the digestion of methane emissions created from their operations

(Appendix I ndash Figure 10 Solid and Liquid Waste Sites) 5253

A 200 kW fuel cell power plant in Yonkers New York was the worldrsquos first commercial fuel cell to run

on a waste gas created at a wastewater treatment plant The fuel cell generates about 1600 MWh of

electricity a year and reduces methane emissions released to the environment54

Landfill Methane Outreach Program (LMOP)

There are 11 landfills in Maine identified by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) through their

LMOP program two of which are operational two are candidates and six are considered potential sites

for the production and recovery of methane gas 5657

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 ndash Figure 10 Solid

Ensuring safe operations of commercial and private aircrafts are the responsibility of air traffic

controllers Modern software host computers voice communication systems and instituted full scale

glide path angle capabilities assist air traffic controllers in tracking and communicating with aircrafts

consequently reliable electricity is extremely important and present an opportunity for a fuel cell power

POTENTIAL TRANSPORTATION TARGETS

Transportation is responsible for one-fourth of the total global GHG emissions and consumes 75 percent

of the worldrsquos oil production In 2010 the US used 21 million barrels of non-renewable petroleum each

day Roughly 29 percent of Mainersquos energy consumption is due to demands of the transportation sector

including gasoline and on-highway diesel petroleum for automobiles trucks and buses A small percent

of non-renewable petroleum is used for jet and ship fuel62

The current economy in the US 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)6364

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

10170 15770 and 182984 pounds per year respectively66

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 4390

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 $1866 per light duty truck and $17560 per bus67

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

US DOE has projected that between 151 million and 239 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 fuels68

Mainersquos opportunities to support these new vehicles include alternative fueling stations Maine

Department of Transportation (MDOT) refueling stations bus transit operations government public and

privately owned fleets and material handling and airport ground support equipment (GSE) Graphical

representation of these opportunities analyzed are depicted in Appendix I

Alternative Fueling Stations

There are approximately 1400 retail fueling stations in Maine69

however only 10 public andor private

stations within the state provide alternative fuels such as biodiesel compressed natural gas propane

andor electricity for alternative-fueled vehicles70

There are also at least 17 refueling stations owned and

operated by MDOT 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 71

Development of

hydrogen fueling at alternative fuel stations and at selected locations owned and operated by MDOT

would help facilitate the deployment of FCEVs within the state (Appendix I ndash Figure 12 Alternative

Fueling Stations) Currently there are approximately 18 existing or planned transportation fueling

stations in the Northeast region where hydrogen is provided as an alternative fuel72737475

Fleets

There are over 7000 fleet vehicles (excluding state and federal vehicles) classified as non-leasing or

company owned vehicles in Maine 76

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 are an additional 1781 passenger automobiles andor light duty trucks in Maine

owned by state and federal agencies (excluding state police) that traveled a combined 14965373 miles in

2010 while releasing 1031 metrics tons of CO2 77

Conversion of fleet vehicles from conventional fossil

fuels to FCEVs could significantly reduce petroleum consumption and GHG emissions Fleet vehicle

hubs are 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 61 directly operated buses that provide public transportation services in Maine78

As discussed above replacement of a conventional diesel transit bus with a fuel cell transit bus would

result in the reduction of CO2 emissions (estimated at approximately 183000 pounds per year) and

reduction of diesel fuel (estimated at approximately 4390 gallons per year)79

Although the efficiency of

conventional diesel buses has increased conventional diesel buses which typically achieve fuel economy

performance levels of 39 miles per gallon have the greatest potential for energy savings by using high

efficiency fuel cells In addition to Maine other states have also begun the transition of fueling transit

buses with alternative fuels to improve efficiency and environmental performance

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

15 times lower maintenance cost

8 times lower refuelingrecharging labor cost

2 times lower net present value of total operations and management (OampM) system cost

63 percent less emissions of GHG (Appendix X 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 America80

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 IX for a partial list of companies in North America that using

fuel cell powered forklifts)81

There are approximately five distribution centerswarehouse sites that have

been identified in Maine that may benefit from the use of fuel cell powered material handling equipment

(Appendix I ndash Figure 13 Distribution CentersWarehouses amp Ports)

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

GSEs82

Potential large end-users of GSE that serve Mainersquos largest airports include Air Canada Delta

Airlines Continental JetBlue United and US Airways83

(Appendix I ndash Figure 11 Commercial

Airports)

Ports

Maine has 3480 miles of coastline with six cargo ports and 13 cruise ship ports The ports of Portland

and Bath Maine which service large vessels such as container ships tankers bulk carriers and cruise

ships may be candidates for improved energy management Commercial marine vessels (cargo ships

entering and leaving Marine ports) contribute approximately 166 tons of volatile organic compounds

(VOC) 1134 tons of NOX 374 tons of CO 124 tons of sulfur dioxide SO2 and 91 tons of particulate

matter (PM10) per year84

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 90000 cargo ships contains up to 2000 times the amount of

sulfur compared to diesel fuel used in automobiles85

Furthermore diesel emissions from cruise ships

while at port are a significant source of air pollution While docked vessels shut off their main engines

but use auxiliary diesel and steam engines to power refrigeration lights pumps and other functions a

process called ldquocold-ironing 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

The applications of fuel cell technology at ports may also provide electric and thermal energy for

improving energy management for warehouses and equipment operated between terminals (Appendix I ndash

As shown in Table 5 the analysis provided here estimates that there are approximately 266 potential

locations which may be favorable candidates for the application of a fuel cell to provide heat and power

Assuming the demand for electricity was uniform throughout the year approximately 150 to 192 fuel cell

units with a capacity of 300 ndash 400 kW could be deployed for a total fuel cell capacity of 58 to 77 MWs

If opportunities for fuel cell use in Maine identified in this report are met with 300 kW units a minimum

of 473040 MWh electric and 127 million MMBTUs (equivalent to 373404 MWh) of thermal energy

would be produced which could reduce CO2 emissions by at least 90824 tons per year 100

Maine 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

bull Replacement of a gasoline-fueled passenger vehicle with FCEVs could result in annual CO2

emission reductions (per vehicle) of approximately 10170 pounds annual energy savings of 230

gallons of gasoline and annual fuel cost savings of $885

bull Replacement of a gasoline-fueled light duty truck with FCEVs could result in annual CO2

emission reductions (per light duty truck) of approximately 15770 pounds annual energy savings

of 485 gallons of gasoline and annual fuel cost savings of $1866

bull Replacement of a diesel-fueled transit bus with a fuel cell powered bus could result in annual CO2

emission reductions (per bus) of approximately 182984 pounds annual energy savings of 4390

gallons of fuel and annual fuel cost savings of $17560

Hydrogen and fuel cell technology also provides significant opportunities for job creation andor

economic development Realizing over $2 million in revenue and investment in 2010 the hydrogen and

fuel cell industry in Maine is estimated to have contributed approximately $113000 in state and local tax

revenue and over $29 million in gross state product Currently there are at least 30 Maine companies

that are part of the growing hydrogen and fuel cell industry supply chain in the Northeast region If

neweremerging hydrogen and fuel cell technology were to gain momentum the number of companies

and employment for the industry could grow substantially

99 Airport facilities with 2500+ annual Enplanement Counts andor AASF 100

If opportunities for fuel cell use in Maine identified in this report are met with 400 kW units a minimum of 665760 MWh

electric and 312 million MMBTUs (equivalent to 915127 MWh) of thermal energy would be produced which could reduce CO2

MAINE

Fuel cell systems have many advantages over conventional technologies including

High fuel-to-electricity efficiency (gt 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 systems20

Fuel cells can be deployed as a CHP technology that provides both power and thermal energy and can

increase 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 emissions21

Based on the

targets identified within this plan there is the potential to develop at least 58 MWs of stationary fuel cell

generation capacity in Maine which would provide the following benefits annually

Production of approximately 473000 MWh of electricity

Production of approximately 127 million MMBTUs of thermal energy

Reduction of CO2 emissions of approximately 90000 tons (electric generation only)22

For the purpose of this plan applications have been explored with a focus on fuel cells in the 300 kW to

400 kW range 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 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 high electricity consumption selected government

buildings public works facilities and energy intensive industries

The Energy Information Agencys (EIA) Commercial Building Energy Consumption Survey (CBECS_

identifies the building types listed below as having high electricity consumption They are the best

candidates for on-site generation and CHP applications These selected building types making up the

CBECS subcategory within the commercial industry include

Education

Food Sales

Food Services

Inpatient Healthcare

Lodging

Public Order amp Safety23

As illustrated in Figure 3 these selected building types within the commercial sector is estimated to

account for approximately 15 percent of Mainersquos total electrical consumption Appendix II further

Education

There are approximately 145 non-public schools and 780 public schools (134 of which are considered

high schools with 100 or more students enrolled) in Maine2425

High schools operate for a longer period

of time daily due to extracurricular after school activities such as clubs and athletics Furthermore two

of these schools have swimming pools which may make these sites especially attractive because it would

increase the utilization of and make more efficient the electrical and thermal output offered by a fuel cell

There are also 39 colleges and universities in Maine Colleges and universities have facilities for

students faculty administration and maintenance crews that typically include dormitories cafeterias

gyms libraries and athletic departments ndash some with swimming pools Of these 173 locations (134 high

schools and 39 colleges) 65 are located in communities serviced by natural gas (Appendix I ndash Figure 1

Education)

Educational establishments in other states such as Connecticut and New York have shown interest in fuel

cell technology Examples of existing or planned fuel cell applications include South Windsor High

Food Sales

There are over 1800 businesses in Maine known to be engaged in the retail sale of food Food sales

establishments are good candidates for fuel cells based on their electrical demand and thermal

requirements for heating and refrigeration Approximately 80 of these sites are considered larger food

sales businesses with approximately 60 or more employees at their site 26

Of these 80 large food sales

businesses 45 are located in communities serviced by natural gas (Appendix I ndash Figure 2 Food Sales)27

The application of a large fuel cell (gt300 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 Wholefoods and Stop and Shop have shown

interest in powering their stores with fuel cells in Massachusetts Connecticut and New York28

In

addition grocery distribution centers like the one operated by Shaws (a Supervalu brand) in Wells

Maine 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 2100 businesses in Maine that can be classified as food service establishments used for

the preparation and sale of food and beverages for consumption29

15 of these sites are considered larger

restaurant businesses with 130 or more employees at their site and are located in Maine communities

serviced by natural gas (Appendix I ndash Figure 3 Food Services)30

The application of a large fuel cell

(gt300 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

load31

In other parts of the US popular chains such as McDonalds are beginning to show an interest in

the smaller sized fuel cell units for the provision of electricity and thermal energy including domestic

water heating at food service establishments32

26

On average food sale facilities consume 43000 kWh of electricity per worker on an annual basis When compared to current

fuel cell technology (gt300 kW) which satisfies annual electricity consumption loads between 2628000 ndash 3504000 kWh

calculations show food sales facilities employing more than 61 workers may represent favorable opportunities for the application

of a larger fuel cell 27 EIA Description of CBECS Building Types wwweiagovemeucbecsbuilding_typeshtml 28 Clean Energy States Alliance (CESA) ldquoFuel Cells for Supermarkets ndash Cleaner Energy with Fuel Cell Combined Heat and

Inpatient Healthcare

There are over 181 inpatient healthcare facilities in Maine 42 of which are classified as hospitals33

Of

these 42 hospitals eight are located in communities serviced by natural gas and contain 100 or more beds

onsite (Appendix I ndash 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 247 with a relatively flat load curve Furthermore medical equipment patient

rooms sterilizedoperating 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 a fuel cell Nationally hospital energy costs have increased 56 percent from $389 per square foot

in 2003 to $607 per square foot for 2010 partially due to the increased cost of energy34

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

Wireless Telecommunication Sites

Telecommunications companies rely on electricity to run call centers cell phone towers and other vital

equipment In Maine there are approximately 509 telecommunications andor wireless company tower

sites (Appendix I ndash 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 this is typically accomplished with batteries or

conventional emergency generators48

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 back-up power is a T-Mobile facility located in Storrs Connecticut

Wastewater Treatment Plants (WWTPs) There are 111 WWTPs in Maine that have design flows ranging from 3000 gallons per day (GPD) to 16

million gallons per day (MGD) seven of these facilities average between 3 ndash 16 MGD WWTPs

typically operate 247 and may be able to utilize the thermal energy from the fuel cell to process fats oils

and grease49

WWTPs account for approximately three percent of the electric load in the United State50

Digester gas produced at WWTPrsquos 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 methane51

Most facilities currently represent a

lost opportunity to capture and use the digestion of methane emissions created from their operations

(Appendix I ndash Figure 10 Solid and Liquid Waste Sites) 5253

A 200 kW fuel cell power plant in Yonkers New York was the worldrsquos first commercial fuel cell to run

on a waste gas created at a wastewater treatment plant The fuel cell generates about 1600 MWh of

electricity a year and reduces methane emissions released to the environment54

Landfill Methane Outreach Program (LMOP)

There are 11 landfills in Maine identified by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) through their

LMOP program two of which are operational two are candidates and six are considered potential sites

for the production and recovery of methane gas 5657

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 ndash Figure 10 Solid

Airports

During peak air travel times in the US there are approximately 50000 airplanes in the sky each day

Ensuring safe operations of commercial and private aircrafts are the responsibility of air traffic

controllers Modern software host computers voice communication systems and instituted full scale

glide path angle capabilities assist air traffic controllers in tracking and communicating with aircrafts

consequently reliable electricity is extremely important and present an opportunity for a fuel cell power

application 58

There are approximately 103 airports in Maine including 47 that are open to the public and have

scheduled services Of those 47 airports six (Table 3) have 2500 or more passengers enplaned each

year two of these six facilities are located in communities serviced by natural gas (See Appendix I ndash

Military The US Department of Defense (DOD) is the largest funding organization in terms of supporting fuel

cell activities for military applications in the world DOD organizations are using fuel cells for

Stationary units for power supply in bases

Fuel cell units in transport applications

Portable units for equipping individual soldiers or group of soldiers

In a collaborative partnership with the DOE the DOD plans to install and operate 18 fuel cell backup

power systems at eight of its military installations two of which are located within the Northeast region

(New York and New Jersey)60

In addition the Portsmouth Naval Shipyard (PSNY) in Kittery Maine

occupies more than 297 acres on base employs approximately 4500 civilian employees and 100 naval

officers in addition to enlisted personal assigned to the shipyard and is a potential application for

hydrogen and fuel cell technology (Appendix I ndash Figure 11 Commercial Airports) 61

POTENTIAL TRANSPORTATION TARGETS

Transportation is responsible for one-fourth of the total global GHG emissions and consumes 75 percent

of the worldrsquos oil production In 2010 the US used 21 million barrels of non-renewable petroleum each

day Roughly 29 percent of Mainersquos energy consumption is due to demands of the transportation sector

including gasoline and on-highway diesel petroleum for automobiles trucks and buses A small percent

of non-renewable petroleum is used for jet and ship fuel62

The current economy in the US 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)6364

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

10170 15770 and 182984 pounds per year respectively66

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 4390

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 $1866 per light duty truck and $17560 per bus67

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

US DOE has projected that between 151 million and 239 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 fuels68

Mainersquos opportunities to support these new vehicles include alternative fueling stations Maine

Department of Transportation (MDOT) refueling stations bus transit operations government public and

privately owned fleets and material handling and airport ground support equipment (GSE) Graphical

representation of these opportunities analyzed are depicted in Appendix I

Alternative Fueling Stations

There are approximately 1400 retail fueling stations in Maine69

however only 10 public andor private

stations within the state provide alternative fuels such as biodiesel compressed natural gas propane

andor electricity for alternative-fueled vehicles70

There are also at least 17 refueling stations owned and

operated by MDOT 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 71

Development of

hydrogen fueling at alternative fuel stations and at selected locations owned and operated by MDOT

would help facilitate the deployment of FCEVs within the state (Appendix I ndash Figure 12 Alternative

Fueling Stations) Currently there are approximately 18 existing or planned transportation fueling

stations in the Northeast region where hydrogen is provided as an alternative fuel72737475

Fleets

There are over 7000 fleet vehicles (excluding state and federal vehicles) classified as non-leasing or

company owned vehicles in Maine 76

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 are an additional 1781 passenger automobiles andor light duty trucks in Maine

owned by state and federal agencies (excluding state police) that traveled a combined 14965373 miles in

2010 while releasing 1031 metrics tons of CO2 77

Conversion of fleet vehicles from conventional fossil

fuels to FCEVs could significantly reduce petroleum consumption and GHG emissions Fleet vehicle

hubs are 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 61 directly operated buses that provide public transportation services in Maine78

As discussed above replacement of a conventional diesel transit bus with a fuel cell transit bus would

result in the reduction of CO2 emissions (estimated at approximately 183000 pounds per year) and

reduction of diesel fuel (estimated at approximately 4390 gallons per year)79

Although the efficiency of

conventional diesel buses has increased conventional diesel buses which typically achieve fuel economy

performance levels of 39 miles per gallon have the greatest potential for energy savings by using high

efficiency fuel cells In addition to Maine other states have also begun the transition of fueling transit

buses with alternative fuels to improve efficiency and environmental performance

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

15 times lower maintenance cost

8 times lower refuelingrecharging labor cost

2 times lower net present value of total operations and management (OampM) system cost

63 percent less emissions of GHG (Appendix X 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 America80

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 IX for a partial list of companies in North America that using

fuel cell powered forklifts)81

There are approximately five distribution centerswarehouse sites that have

been identified in Maine that may benefit from the use of fuel cell powered material handling equipment

(Appendix I ndash Figure 13 Distribution CentersWarehouses amp Ports)

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

GSEs82

Potential large end-users of GSE that serve Mainersquos largest airports include Air Canada Delta

Airlines Continental JetBlue United and US Airways83

(Appendix I ndash Figure 11 Commercial

Airports)

Ports

Maine has 3480 miles of coastline with six cargo ports and 13 cruise ship ports The ports of Portland

and Bath Maine which service large vessels such as container ships tankers bulk carriers and cruise

ships may be candidates for improved energy management Commercial marine vessels (cargo ships

entering and leaving Marine ports) contribute approximately 166 tons of volatile organic compounds

(VOC) 1134 tons of NOX 374 tons of CO 124 tons of sulfur dioxide SO2 and 91 tons of particulate

matter (PM10) per year84

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 90000 cargo ships contains up to 2000 times the amount of

sulfur compared to diesel fuel used in automobiles85

Furthermore diesel emissions from cruise ships

while at port are a significant source of air pollution While docked vessels shut off their main engines

but use auxiliary diesel and steam engines to power refrigeration lights pumps and other functions a

process called ldquocold-ironing 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

The applications of fuel cell technology at ports may also provide electric and thermal energy for

improving energy management for warehouses and equipment operated between terminals (Appendix I ndash

As shown in Table 5 the analysis provided here estimates that there are approximately 266 potential

locations which may be favorable candidates for the application of a fuel cell to provide heat and power

Assuming the demand for electricity was uniform throughout the year approximately 150 to 192 fuel cell

units with a capacity of 300 ndash 400 kW could be deployed for a total fuel cell capacity of 58 to 77 MWs

If opportunities for fuel cell use in Maine identified in this report are met with 300 kW units a minimum

of 473040 MWh electric and 127 million MMBTUs (equivalent to 373404 MWh) of thermal energy

would be produced which could reduce CO2 emissions by at least 90824 tons per year 100

Maine 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

Education

There are approximately 145 non-public schools and 780 public schools (134 of which are considered

high schools with 100 or more students enrolled) in Maine2425

High schools operate for a longer period

of time daily due to extracurricular after school activities such as clubs and athletics Furthermore two

of these schools have swimming pools which may make these sites especially attractive because it would

increase the utilization of and make more efficient the electrical and thermal output offered by a fuel cell

There are also 39 colleges and universities in Maine Colleges and universities have facilities for

students faculty administration and maintenance crews that typically include dormitories cafeterias

gyms libraries and athletic departments ndash some with swimming pools Of these 173 locations (134 high

schools and 39 colleges) 65 are located in communities serviced by natural gas (Appendix I ndash Figure 1

Education)

Educational establishments in other states such as Connecticut and New York have shown interest in fuel

Food Sales

There are over 1800 businesses in Maine known to be engaged in the retail sale of food Food sales

establishments are good candidates for fuel cells based on their electrical demand and thermal

requirements for heating and refrigeration Approximately 80 of these sites are considered larger food

sales businesses with approximately 60 or more employees at their site 26

Of these 80 large food sales

businesses 45 are located in communities serviced by natural gas (Appendix I ndash Figure 2 Food Sales)27

The application of a large fuel cell (gt300 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 Wholefoods and Stop and Shop have shown

interest in powering their stores with fuel cells in Massachusetts Connecticut and New York28

In

addition grocery distribution centers like the one operated by Shaws (a Supervalu brand) in Wells

Maine 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 2100 businesses in Maine that can be classified as food service establishments used for

the preparation and sale of food and beverages for consumption29

15 of these sites are considered larger

restaurant businesses with 130 or more employees at their site and are located in Maine communities

serviced by natural gas (Appendix I ndash Figure 3 Food Services)30

The application of a large fuel cell

(gt300 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

load31

In other parts of the US popular chains such as McDonalds are beginning to show an interest in

the smaller sized fuel cell units for the provision of electricity and thermal energy including domestic

water heating at food service establishments32

26

On average food sale facilities consume 43000 kWh of electricity per worker on an annual basis When compared to current

fuel cell technology (gt300 kW) which satisfies annual electricity consumption loads between 2628000 ndash 3504000 kWh

calculations show food sales facilities employing more than 61 workers may represent favorable opportunities for the application

of a larger fuel cell 27 EIA Description of CBECS Building Types wwweiagovemeucbecsbuilding_typeshtml 28 Clean Energy States Alliance (CESA) ldquoFuel Cells for Supermarkets ndash Cleaner Energy with Fuel Cell Combined Heat and

Inpatient Healthcare

There are over 181 inpatient healthcare facilities in Maine 42 of which are classified as hospitals33

Of

these 42 hospitals eight are located in communities serviced by natural gas and contain 100 or more beds

onsite (Appendix I ndash 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 247 with a relatively flat load curve Furthermore medical equipment patient

rooms sterilizedoperating 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 a fuel cell Nationally hospital energy costs have increased 56 percent from $389 per square foot

in 2003 to $607 per square foot for 2010 partially due to the increased cost of energy34

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

Public Order and Safety There are approximately 216 facilities in Maine that can be classified as public order and safety these

include 96 fire stations 102 police stations eight state police stations nine border patrols and nine

prisons 3940

Ten of these locations employ more than 210 workers and are located in communities

serviced by natural gas4142

These applications may represent favorable opportunities for the application

of a larger fuel cell (gt300 kW) which could provide heat and uninterrupted power 4344

The sites

identified (Appendix I ndash Figure 6 Public Order and Safety) will have special value to provide increased

reliability to mission critical facilities associated with public safety and emergency response during grid

outages The application of a large fuel cell (gt300 kW) at public order and safety facilities with less than

210 employees may not be economically viable based on the electrical demand and operational

requirement however a smaller fuel cell ( 5 kW) may be appropriate Central Park Police Station in

New York City New York is presently powered by a 200 kW fuel cell system

Energy Intensive Industries

As shown in Table 2 energy intensive industries with high electricity consumption (which on average is

48 percent of annual operating costs) have been identified as potential locations for the application of a

fuel cell45

In Maine there are approximately 156 of these industrial facilities that are involved in the

manufacture of aluminum chemicals forest products glass metal casting petroleum coal products or

steel and employ 25 or more employees46

Of these 156 locations 64 are located in communities serviced

Government Owned Buildings

Buildings operated by the federal government can be found at 114 locations in Maine four of these

properties are actively owned rather than leased by the federal government and are located in

communities serviced by natural gas (Appendix I ndash Figure 8 Federal Government Operated Buildings)

There are also a number of buildings owned and operated by the State of Maine 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 Maine there are approximately 509 telecommunications andor wireless company tower

sites (Appendix I ndash 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 this is typically accomplished with batteries or

conventional emergency generators48

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 back-up power is a T-Mobile facility located in Storrs Connecticut

Wastewater Treatment Plants (WWTPs) There are 111 WWTPs in Maine that have design flows ranging from 3000 gallons per day (GPD) to 16

million gallons per day (MGD) seven of these facilities average between 3 ndash 16 MGD WWTPs

typically operate 247 and may be able to utilize the thermal energy from the fuel cell to process fats oils

and grease49

WWTPs account for approximately three percent of the electric load in the United State50

Digester gas produced at WWTPrsquos 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 methane51

Most facilities currently represent a

lost opportunity to capture and use the digestion of methane emissions created from their operations

(Appendix I ndash Figure 10 Solid and Liquid Waste Sites) 5253

A 200 kW fuel cell power plant in Yonkers New York was the worldrsquos first commercial fuel cell to run

on a waste gas created at a wastewater treatment plant The fuel cell generates about 1600 MWh of

electricity a year and reduces methane emissions released to the environment54

Landfill Methane Outreach Program (LMOP)

There are 11 landfills in Maine identified by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) through their

LMOP program two of which are operational two are candidates and six are considered potential sites

for the production and recovery of methane gas 5657

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 ndash Figure 10 Solid

Airports

During peak air travel times in the US there are approximately 50000 airplanes in the sky each day

Ensuring safe operations of commercial and private aircrafts are the responsibility of air traffic

controllers Modern software host computers voice communication systems and instituted full scale

glide path angle capabilities assist air traffic controllers in tracking and communicating with aircrafts

consequently reliable electricity is extremely important and present an opportunity for a fuel cell power

application 58

There are approximately 103 airports in Maine including 47 that are open to the public and have

scheduled services Of those 47 airports six (Table 3) have 2500 or more passengers enplaned each

Military The US Department of Defense (DOD) is the largest funding organization in terms of supporting fuel

cell activities for military applications in the world DOD organizations are using fuel cells for

Stationary units for power supply in bases

Fuel cell units in transport applications

Portable units for equipping individual soldiers or group of soldiers

In a collaborative partnership with the DOE the DOD plans to install and operate 18 fuel cell backup

power systems at eight of its military installations two of which are located within the Northeast region

(New York and New Jersey)60

In addition the Portsmouth Naval Shipyard (PSNY) in Kittery Maine

occupies more than 297 acres on base employs approximately 4500 civilian employees and 100 naval

officers in addition to enlisted personal assigned to the shipyard and is a potential application for

POTENTIAL TRANSPORTATION TARGETS

Transportation is responsible for one-fourth of the total global GHG emissions and consumes 75 percent

of the worldrsquos oil production In 2010 the US used 21 million barrels of non-renewable petroleum each

day Roughly 29 percent of Mainersquos energy consumption is due to demands of the transportation sector

including gasoline and on-highway diesel petroleum for automobiles trucks and buses A small percent

of non-renewable petroleum is used for jet and ship fuel62

The current economy in the US 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)6364

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

10170 15770 and 182984 pounds per year respectively66

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 4390

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 $1866 per light duty truck and $17560 per bus67

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

US DOE has projected that between 151 million and 239 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 fuels68

Mainersquos opportunities to support these new vehicles include alternative fueling stations Maine

Department of Transportation (MDOT) refueling stations bus transit operations government public and

privately owned fleets and material handling and airport ground support equipment (GSE) Graphical

representation of these opportunities analyzed are depicted in Appendix I

Alternative Fueling Stations

There are approximately 1400 retail fueling stations in Maine69

however only 10 public andor private

stations within the state provide alternative fuels such as biodiesel compressed natural gas propane

andor electricity for alternative-fueled vehicles70

There are also at least 17 refueling stations owned and

operated by MDOT 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 71

Development of

hydrogen fueling at alternative fuel stations and at selected locations owned and operated by MDOT

would help facilitate the deployment of FCEVs within the state (Appendix I ndash Figure 12 Alternative

Fueling Stations) Currently there are approximately 18 existing or planned transportation fueling

stations in the Northeast region where hydrogen is provided as an alternative fuel72737475

Fleets

There are over 7000 fleet vehicles (excluding state and federal vehicles) classified as non-leasing or

company owned vehicles in Maine 76

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 are an additional 1781 passenger automobiles andor light duty trucks in Maine

owned by state and federal agencies (excluding state police) that traveled a combined 14965373 miles in

2010 while releasing 1031 metrics tons of CO2 77

Conversion of fleet vehicles from conventional fossil

fuels to FCEVs could significantly reduce petroleum consumption and GHG emissions Fleet vehicle

hubs are 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 61 directly operated buses that provide public transportation services in Maine78

As discussed above replacement of a conventional diesel transit bus with a fuel cell transit bus would

result in the reduction of CO2 emissions (estimated at approximately 183000 pounds per year) and

reduction of diesel fuel (estimated at approximately 4390 gallons per year)79

Although the efficiency of

conventional diesel buses has increased conventional diesel buses which typically achieve fuel economy

performance levels of 39 miles per gallon have the greatest potential for energy savings by using high

efficiency fuel cells In addition to Maine other states have also begun the transition of fueling transit

buses with alternative fuels to improve efficiency and environmental performance

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

15 times lower maintenance cost

8 times lower refuelingrecharging labor cost

2 times lower net present value of total operations and management (OampM) system cost

Fuel cell powered material handling equipment is already in use at dozens of warehouses distribution

centers and manufacturing plants in North America80

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 IX for a partial list of companies in North America that using

fuel cell powered forklifts)81

There are approximately five distribution centerswarehouse sites that have

been identified in Maine that may benefit from the use of fuel cell powered material handling equipment

(Appendix I ndash Figure 13 Distribution CentersWarehouses amp Ports)

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

GSEs82

Potential large end-users of GSE that serve Mainersquos largest airports include Air Canada Delta

Airlines Continental JetBlue United and US Airways83

(Appendix I ndash Figure 11 Commercial

Airports)

Ports

Maine has 3480 miles of coastline with six cargo ports and 13 cruise ship ports The ports of Portland

and Bath Maine which service large vessels such as container ships tankers bulk carriers and cruise

ships may be candidates for improved energy management Commercial marine vessels (cargo ships

entering and leaving Marine ports) contribute approximately 166 tons of volatile organic compounds

(VOC) 1134 tons of NOX 374 tons of CO 124 tons of sulfur dioxide SO2 and 91 tons of particulate

matter (PM10) per year84

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 90000 cargo ships contains up to 2000 times the amount of

sulfur compared to diesel fuel used in automobiles85

Furthermore diesel emissions from cruise ships

while at port are a significant source of air pollution While docked vessels shut off their main engines

but use auxiliary diesel and steam engines to power refrigeration lights pumps and other functions a

process called ldquocold-ironing 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

The applications of fuel cell technology at ports may also provide electric and thermal energy for

improving energy management for warehouses and equipment operated between terminals (Appendix I ndash

As shown in Table 5 the analysis provided here estimates that there are approximately 266 potential

locations which may be favorable candidates for the application of a fuel cell to provide heat and power

Assuming the demand for electricity was uniform throughout the year approximately 150 to 192 fuel cell

units with a capacity of 300 ndash 400 kW could be deployed for a total fuel cell capacity of 58 to 77 MWs

If opportunities for fuel cell use in Maine identified in this report are met with 300 kW units a minimum

of 473040 MWh electric and 127 million MMBTUs (equivalent to 373404 MWh) of thermal energy

would be produced which could reduce CO2 emissions by at least 90824 tons per year 100

Maine 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

bull Replacement of a gasoline-fueled passenger vehicle with FCEVs could result in annual CO2

emission reductions (per vehicle) of approximately 10170 pounds annual energy savings of 230

gallons of gasoline and annual fuel cost savings of $885

bull Replacement of a gasoline-fueled light duty truck with FCEVs could result in annual CO2

emission reductions (per light duty truck) of approximately 15770 pounds annual energy savings

of 485 gallons of gasoline and annual fuel cost savings of $1866

bull Replacement of a diesel-fueled transit bus with a fuel cell powered bus could result in annual CO2

emission reductions (per bus) of approximately 182984 pounds annual energy savings of 4390

gallons of fuel and annual fuel cost savings of $17560

Hydrogen and fuel cell technology also provides significant opportunities for job creation andor

economic development Realizing over $2 million in revenue and investment in 2010 the hydrogen and

fuel cell industry in Maine is estimated to have contributed approximately $113000 in state and local tax

revenue and over $29 million in gross state product Currently there are at least 30 Maine companies

that are part of the growing hydrogen and fuel cell industry supply chain in the Northeast region If

neweremerging hydrogen and fuel cell technology were to gain momentum the number of companies

and employment for the industry could grow substantially

99 Airport facilities with 2500+ annual Enplanement Counts andor AASF 100

If opportunities for fuel cell use in Maine identified in this report are met with 400 kW units a minimum of 665760 MWh

electric and 312 million MMBTUs (equivalent to 915127 MWh) of thermal energy would be produced which could reduce CO2

emissions by at least 127826 tons per year

Food Sales

There are over 1800 businesses in Maine known to be engaged in the retail sale of food Food sales

establishments are good candidates for fuel cells based on their electrical demand and thermal

requirements for heating and refrigeration Approximately 80 of these sites are considered larger food

sales businesses with approximately 60 or more employees at their site 26

Of these 80 large food sales

businesses 45 are located in communities serviced by natural gas (Appendix I ndash Figure 2 Food Sales)27

The application of a large fuel cell (gt300 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 Wholefoods and Stop and Shop have shown

interest in powering their stores with fuel cells in Massachusetts Connecticut and New York28

In

addition grocery distribution centers like the one operated by Shaws (a Supervalu brand) in Wells

Maine are prime targets for the application of hydrogen and fuel cell technology for both stationary

power and material handling equipment

(gt300 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

load31

In other parts of the US popular chains such as McDonalds are beginning to show an interest in

the smaller sized fuel cell units for the provision of electricity and thermal energy including domestic

water heating at food service establishments32

26

On average food sale facilities consume 43000 kWh of electricity per worker on an annual basis When compared to current

fuel cell technology (gt300 kW) which satisfies annual electricity consumption loads between 2628000 ndash 3504000 kWh

calculations show food sales facilities employing more than 61 workers may represent favorable opportunities for the application

of a larger fuel cell 27 EIA Description of CBECS Building Types wwweiagovemeucbecsbuilding_typeshtml 28 Clean Energy States Alliance (CESA) ldquoFuel Cells for Supermarkets ndash Cleaner Energy with Fuel Cell Combined Heat and

Inpatient Healthcare

There are over 181 inpatient healthcare facilities in Maine 42 of which are classified as hospitals33

Of

these 42 hospitals eight are located in communities serviced by natural gas and contain 100 or more beds

onsite (Appendix I ndash 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 247 with a relatively flat load curve Furthermore medical equipment patient

rooms sterilizedoperating 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 a fuel cell Nationally hospital energy costs have increased 56 percent from $389 per square foot

in 2003 to $607 per square foot for 2010 partially due to the increased cost of energy34

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

Government Owned Buildings

Buildings operated by the federal government can be found at 114 locations in Maine four of these

properties are actively owned rather than leased by the federal government and are located in

communities serviced by natural gas (Appendix I ndash Figure 8 Federal Government Operated Buildings)

There are also a number of buildings owned and operated by the State of Maine 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 Maine there are approximately 509 telecommunications andor wireless company tower

sites (Appendix I ndash 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 this is typically accomplished with batteries or

conventional emergency generators48

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 back-up power is a T-Mobile facility located in Storrs Connecticut

Wastewater Treatment Plants (WWTPs) There are 111 WWTPs in Maine that have design flows ranging from 3000 gallons per day (GPD) to 16

million gallons per day (MGD) seven of these facilities average between 3 ndash 16 MGD WWTPs

typically operate 247 and may be able to utilize the thermal energy from the fuel cell to process fats oils

and grease49

WWTPs account for approximately three percent of the electric load in the United State50

Digester gas produced at WWTPrsquos 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 methane51

Most facilities currently represent a

lost opportunity to capture and use the digestion of methane emissions created from their operations

(Appendix I ndash Figure 10 Solid and Liquid Waste Sites) 5253

A 200 kW fuel cell power plant in Yonkers New York was the worldrsquos first commercial fuel cell to run

on a waste gas created at a wastewater treatment plant The fuel cell generates about 1600 MWh of

electricity a year and reduces methane emissions released to the environment54

Landfill Methane Outreach Program (LMOP)

There are 11 landfills in Maine identified by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) through their

LMOP program two of which are operational two are candidates and six are considered potential sites

for the production and recovery of methane gas 5657

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 ndash Figure 10 Solid

Ensuring safe operations of commercial and private aircrafts are the responsibility of air traffic

controllers Modern software host computers voice communication systems and instituted full scale

glide path angle capabilities assist air traffic controllers in tracking and communicating with aircrafts

consequently reliable electricity is extremely important and present an opportunity for a fuel cell power

POTENTIAL TRANSPORTATION TARGETS

Transportation is responsible for one-fourth of the total global GHG emissions and consumes 75 percent

of the worldrsquos oil production In 2010 the US used 21 million barrels of non-renewable petroleum each

day Roughly 29 percent of Mainersquos energy consumption is due to demands of the transportation sector

including gasoline and on-highway diesel petroleum for automobiles trucks and buses A small percent

of non-renewable petroleum is used for jet and ship fuel62

The current economy in the US 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)6364

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

10170 15770 and 182984 pounds per year respectively66

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 4390

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 $1866 per light duty truck and $17560 per bus67

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

US DOE has projected that between 151 million and 239 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 fuels68

Mainersquos opportunities to support these new vehicles include alternative fueling stations Maine

Department of Transportation (MDOT) refueling stations bus transit operations government public and

privately owned fleets and material handling and airport ground support equipment (GSE) Graphical

representation of these opportunities analyzed are depicted in Appendix I

Alternative Fueling Stations

There are approximately 1400 retail fueling stations in Maine69

however only 10 public andor private

stations within the state provide alternative fuels such as biodiesel compressed natural gas propane

andor electricity for alternative-fueled vehicles70

There are also at least 17 refueling stations owned and

operated by MDOT 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 71

Development of

hydrogen fueling at alternative fuel stations and at selected locations owned and operated by MDOT

would help facilitate the deployment of FCEVs within the state (Appendix I ndash Figure 12 Alternative

Fueling Stations) Currently there are approximately 18 existing or planned transportation fueling

stations in the Northeast region where hydrogen is provided as an alternative fuel72737475

Fleets

There are over 7000 fleet vehicles (excluding state and federal vehicles) classified as non-leasing or

company owned vehicles in Maine 76

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 are an additional 1781 passenger automobiles andor light duty trucks in Maine

owned by state and federal agencies (excluding state police) that traveled a combined 14965373 miles in

2010 while releasing 1031 metrics tons of CO2 77

Conversion of fleet vehicles from conventional fossil

fuels to FCEVs could significantly reduce petroleum consumption and GHG emissions Fleet vehicle

hubs are 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 61 directly operated buses that provide public transportation services in Maine78

As discussed above replacement of a conventional diesel transit bus with a fuel cell transit bus would

result in the reduction of CO2 emissions (estimated at approximately 183000 pounds per year) and

reduction of diesel fuel (estimated at approximately 4390 gallons per year)79

Although the efficiency of

conventional diesel buses has increased conventional diesel buses which typically achieve fuel economy

performance levels of 39 miles per gallon have the greatest potential for energy savings by using high

efficiency fuel cells In addition to Maine other states have also begun the transition of fueling transit

buses with alternative fuels to improve efficiency and environmental performance

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

15 times lower maintenance cost

8 times lower refuelingrecharging labor cost

2 times lower net present value of total operations and management (OampM) system cost

63 percent less emissions of GHG (Appendix X 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 America80

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 IX for a partial list of companies in North America that using

fuel cell powered forklifts)81

There are approximately five distribution centerswarehouse sites that have

been identified in Maine that may benefit from the use of fuel cell powered material handling equipment

(Appendix I ndash Figure 13 Distribution CentersWarehouses amp Ports)

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

GSEs82

Potential large end-users of GSE that serve Mainersquos largest airports include Air Canada Delta

Airlines Continental JetBlue United and US Airways83

(Appendix I ndash Figure 11 Commercial

Airports)

Ports

Maine has 3480 miles of coastline with six cargo ports and 13 cruise ship ports The ports of Portland

and Bath Maine which service large vessels such as container ships tankers bulk carriers and cruise

ships may be candidates for improved energy management Commercial marine vessels (cargo ships

entering and leaving Marine ports) contribute approximately 166 tons of volatile organic compounds

(VOC) 1134 tons of NOX 374 tons of CO 124 tons of sulfur dioxide SO2 and 91 tons of particulate

matter (PM10) per year84

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 90000 cargo ships contains up to 2000 times the amount of

sulfur compared to diesel fuel used in automobiles85

Furthermore diesel emissions from cruise ships

while at port are a significant source of air pollution While docked vessels shut off their main engines

but use auxiliary diesel and steam engines to power refrigeration lights pumps and other functions a

process called ldquocold-ironing 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

The applications of fuel cell technology at ports may also provide electric and thermal energy for

improving energy management for warehouses and equipment operated between terminals (Appendix I ndash

Total 7159+ 266 74 192

As shown in Table 5 the analysis provided here estimates that there are approximately 266 potential

locations which may be favorable candidates for the application of a fuel cell to provide heat and power

Assuming the demand for electricity was uniform throughout the year approximately 150 to 192 fuel cell

units with a capacity of 300 ndash 400 kW could be deployed for a total fuel cell capacity of 58 to 77 MWs

If opportunities for fuel cell use in Maine identified in this report are met with 300 kW units a minimum

of 473040 MWh electric and 127 million MMBTUs (equivalent to 373404 MWh) of thermal energy

would be produced which could reduce CO2 emissions by at least 90824 tons per year 100

Maine 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

bull Replacement of a gasoline-fueled passenger vehicle with FCEVs could result in annual CO2

emission reductions (per vehicle) of approximately 10170 pounds annual energy savings of 230

gallons of gasoline and annual fuel cost savings of $885

bull Replacement of a gasoline-fueled light duty truck with FCEVs could result in annual CO2

emission reductions (per light duty truck) of approximately 15770 pounds annual energy savings

of 485 gallons of gasoline and annual fuel cost savings of $1866

bull Replacement of a diesel-fueled transit bus with a fuel cell powered bus could result in annual CO2

emission reductions (per bus) of approximately 182984 pounds annual energy savings of 4390

gallons of fuel and annual fuel cost savings of $17560

Hydrogen and fuel cell technology also provides significant opportunities for job creation andor

economic development Realizing over $2 million in revenue and investment in 2010 the hydrogen and

fuel cell industry in Maine is estimated to have contributed approximately $113000 in state and local tax

revenue and over $29 million in gross state product Currently there are at least 30 Maine companies

that are part of the growing hydrogen and fuel cell industry supply chain in the Northeast region If

neweremerging hydrogen and fuel cell technology were to gain momentum the number of companies

and employment for the industry could grow substantially

99 Airport facilities with 2500+ annual Enplanement Counts andor AASF 100

If opportunities for fuel cell use in Maine identified in this report are met with 400 kW units a minimum of 665760 MWh

electric and 312 million MMBTUs (equivalent to 915127 MWh) of thermal energy would be produced which could reduce CO2

emissions by at least 127826 tons per year

Inpatient Healthcare

There are over 181 inpatient healthcare facilities in Maine 42 of which are classified as hospitals33

Of

these 42 hospitals eight are located in communities serviced by natural gas and contain 100 or more beds

onsite (Appendix I ndash 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 247 with a relatively flat load curve Furthermore medical equipment patient

rooms sterilizedoperating 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 a fuel cell Nationally hospital energy costs have increased 56 percent from $389 per square foot

in 2003 to $607 per square foot for 2010 partially due to the increased cost of energy34

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

Government Owned Buildings

Buildings operated by the federal government can be found at 114 locations in Maine four of these

properties are actively owned rather than leased by the federal government and are located in

communities serviced by natural gas (Appendix I ndash Figure 8 Federal Government Operated Buildings)

There are also a number of buildings owned and operated by the State of Maine 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 Maine there are approximately 509 telecommunications andor wireless company tower

sites (Appendix I ndash 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 this is typically accomplished with batteries or

conventional emergency generators48

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 back-up power is a T-Mobile facility located in Storrs Connecticut

Wastewater Treatment Plants (WWTPs) There are 111 WWTPs in Maine that have design flows ranging from 3000 gallons per day (GPD) to 16

million gallons per day (MGD) seven of these facilities average between 3 ndash 16 MGD WWTPs

typically operate 247 and may be able to utilize the thermal energy from the fuel cell to process fats oils

and grease49

WWTPs account for approximately three percent of the electric load in the United State50

Digester gas produced at WWTPrsquos 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 methane51

Most facilities currently represent a

lost opportunity to capture and use the digestion of methane emissions created from their operations

(Appendix I ndash Figure 10 Solid and Liquid Waste Sites) 5253

A 200 kW fuel cell power plant in Yonkers New York was the worldrsquos first commercial fuel cell to run

on a waste gas created at a wastewater treatment plant The fuel cell generates about 1600 MWh of

electricity a year and reduces methane emissions released to the environment54

Landfill Methane Outreach Program (LMOP)

There are 11 landfills in Maine identified by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) through their

LMOP program two of which are operational two are candidates and six are considered potential sites

for the production and recovery of methane gas 5657

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 ndash Figure 10 Solid

Airports

During peak air travel times in the US there are approximately 50000 airplanes in the sky each day

Ensuring safe operations of commercial and private aircrafts are the responsibility of air traffic

controllers Modern software host computers voice communication systems and instituted full scale

glide path angle capabilities assist air traffic controllers in tracking and communicating with aircrafts

consequently reliable electricity is extremely important and present an opportunity for a fuel cell power

application 58

There are approximately 103 airports in Maine including 47 that are open to the public and have

scheduled services Of those 47 airports six (Table 3) have 2500 or more passengers enplaned each

POTENTIAL TRANSPORTATION TARGETS

Transportation is responsible for one-fourth of the total global GHG emissions and consumes 75 percent

of the worldrsquos oil production In 2010 the US used 21 million barrels of non-renewable petroleum each

day Roughly 29 percent of Mainersquos energy consumption is due to demands of the transportation sector

including gasoline and on-highway diesel petroleum for automobiles trucks and buses A small percent

of non-renewable petroleum is used for jet and ship fuel62

The current economy in the US 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)6364

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

US DOE has projected that between 151 million and 239 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 fuels68

Mainersquos opportunities to support these new vehicles include alternative fueling stations Maine

Department of Transportation (MDOT) refueling stations bus transit operations government public and

privately owned fleets and material handling and airport ground support equipment (GSE) Graphical

representation of these opportunities analyzed are depicted in Appendix I

Alternative Fueling Stations

There are approximately 1400 retail fueling stations in Maine69

however only 10 public andor private

stations within the state provide alternative fuels such as biodiesel compressed natural gas propane

andor electricity for alternative-fueled vehicles70

There are also at least 17 refueling stations owned and

operated by MDOT 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 71

Development of

hydrogen fueling at alternative fuel stations and at selected locations owned and operated by MDOT

would help facilitate the deployment of FCEVs within the state (Appendix I ndash Figure 12 Alternative

Fueling Stations) Currently there are approximately 18 existing or planned transportation fueling

stations in the Northeast region where hydrogen is provided as an alternative fuel72737475

Fleets

There are over 7000 fleet vehicles (excluding state and federal vehicles) classified as non-leasing or

company owned vehicles in Maine 76

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 are an additional 1781 passenger automobiles andor light duty trucks in Maine

owned by state and federal agencies (excluding state police) that traveled a combined 14965373 miles in

2010 while releasing 1031 metrics tons of CO2 77

Conversion of fleet vehicles from conventional fossil

fuels to FCEVs could significantly reduce petroleum consumption and GHG emissions Fleet vehicle

hubs are 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 61 directly operated buses that provide public transportation services in Maine78

As discussed above replacement of a conventional diesel transit bus with a fuel cell transit bus would

result in the reduction of CO2 emissions (estimated at approximately 183000 pounds per year) and

reduction of diesel fuel (estimated at approximately 4390 gallons per year)79

Although the efficiency of

conventional diesel buses has increased conventional diesel buses which typically achieve fuel economy

performance levels of 39 miles per gallon have the greatest potential for energy savings by using high

efficiency fuel cells In addition to Maine other states have also begun the transition of fueling transit

buses with alternative fuels to improve efficiency and environmental performance

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

15 times lower maintenance cost

8 times lower refuelingrecharging labor cost

2 times lower net present value of total operations and management (OampM) system cost

63 percent less emissions of GHG (Appendix X 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 America80

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 IX for a partial list of companies in North America that using

fuel cell powered forklifts)81

There are approximately five distribution centerswarehouse sites that have

been identified in Maine that may benefit from the use of fuel cell powered material handling equipment

(Appendix I ndash Figure 13 Distribution CentersWarehouses amp Ports)

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

GSEs82

Potential large end-users of GSE that serve Mainersquos largest airports include Air Canada Delta

Airlines Continental JetBlue United and US Airways83

(Appendix I ndash Figure 11 Commercial

Airports)

Ports

Maine has 3480 miles of coastline with six cargo ports and 13 cruise ship ports The ports of Portland

and Bath Maine which service large vessels such as container ships tankers bulk carriers and cruise

ships may be candidates for improved energy management Commercial marine vessels (cargo ships

entering and leaving Marine ports) contribute approximately 166 tons of volatile organic compounds

(VOC) 1134 tons of NOX 374 tons of CO 124 tons of sulfur dioxide SO2 and 91 tons of particulate

matter (PM10) per year84

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 90000 cargo ships contains up to 2000 times the amount of

sulfur compared to diesel fuel used in automobiles85

Furthermore diesel emissions from cruise ships

while at port are a significant source of air pollution While docked vessels shut off their main engines

but use auxiliary diesel and steam engines to power refrigeration lights pumps and other functions a

process called ldquocold-ironing 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

The applications of fuel cell technology at ports may also provide electric and thermal energy for

improving energy management for warehouses and equipment operated between terminals (Appendix I ndash

As shown in Table 5 the analysis provided here estimates that there are approximately 266 potential

locations which may be favorable candidates for the application of a fuel cell to provide heat and power

Assuming the demand for electricity was uniform throughout the year approximately 150 to 192 fuel cell

units with a capacity of 300 ndash 400 kW could be deployed for a total fuel cell capacity of 58 to 77 MWs

If opportunities for fuel cell use in Maine identified in this report are met with 300 kW units a minimum

of 473040 MWh electric and 127 million MMBTUs (equivalent to 373404 MWh) of thermal energy

would be produced which could reduce CO2 emissions by at least 90824 tons per year 100

Maine 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

bull Replacement of a gasoline-fueled passenger vehicle with FCEVs could result in annual CO2

emission reductions (per vehicle) of approximately 10170 pounds annual energy savings of 230

gallons of gasoline and annual fuel cost savings of $885

bull Replacement of a gasoline-fueled light duty truck with FCEVs could result in annual CO2

emission reductions (per light duty truck) of approximately 15770 pounds annual energy savings

of 485 gallons of gasoline and annual fuel cost savings of $1866

bull Replacement of a diesel-fueled transit bus with a fuel cell powered bus could result in annual CO2

emission reductions (per bus) of approximately 182984 pounds annual energy savings of 4390

gallons of fuel and annual fuel cost savings of $17560

Hydrogen and fuel cell technology also provides significant opportunities for job creation andor

economic development Realizing over $2 million in revenue and investment in 2010 the hydrogen and

fuel cell industry in Maine is estimated to have contributed approximately $113000 in state and local tax

revenue and over $29 million in gross state product Currently there are at least 30 Maine companies

that are part of the growing hydrogen and fuel cell industry supply chain in the Northeast region If

neweremerging hydrogen and fuel cell technology were to gain momentum the number of companies

and employment for the industry could grow substantially

Wireless Telecommunication Sites

Telecommunications companies rely on electricity to run call centers cell phone towers and other vital

equipment In Maine there are approximately 509 telecommunications andor wireless company tower

sites (Appendix I ndash 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 this is typically accomplished with batteries or

conventional emergency generators48

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 back-up power is a T-Mobile facility located in Storrs Connecticut

Wastewater Treatment Plants (WWTPs) There are 111 WWTPs in Maine that have design flows ranging from 3000 gallons per day (GPD) to 16

million gallons per day (MGD) seven of these facilities average between 3 ndash 16 MGD WWTPs

typically operate 247 and may be able to utilize the thermal energy from the fuel cell to process fats oils

and grease49

WWTPs account for approximately three percent of the electric load in the United State50

Digester gas produced at WWTPrsquos 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 methane51

Most facilities currently represent a

lost opportunity to capture and use the digestion of methane emissions created from their operations

(Appendix I ndash Figure 10 Solid and Liquid Waste Sites) 5253

A 200 kW fuel cell power plant in Yonkers New York was the worldrsquos first commercial fuel cell to run

on a waste gas created at a wastewater treatment plant The fuel cell generates about 1600 MWh of

electricity a year and reduces methane emissions released to the environment54

Landfill Methane Outreach Program (LMOP)

There are 11 landfills in Maine identified by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) through their

LMOP program two of which are operational two are candidates and six are considered potential sites

for the production and recovery of methane gas 5657

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 ndash Figure 10 Solid

Ensuring safe operations of commercial and private aircrafts are the responsibility of air traffic

controllers Modern software host computers voice communication systems and instituted full scale

glide path angle capabilities assist air traffic controllers in tracking and communicating with aircrafts

consequently reliable electricity is extremely important and present an opportunity for a fuel cell power

POTENTIAL TRANSPORTATION TARGETS

Transportation is responsible for one-fourth of the total global GHG emissions and consumes 75 percent

of the worldrsquos oil production In 2010 the US used 21 million barrels of non-renewable petroleum each

day Roughly 29 percent of Mainersquos energy consumption is due to demands of the transportation sector

including gasoline and on-highway diesel petroleum for automobiles trucks and buses A small percent

of non-renewable petroleum is used for jet and ship fuel62

The current economy in the US 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)6364

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

10170 15770 and 182984 pounds per year respectively66

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 4390

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 $1866 per light duty truck and $17560 per bus67

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

US DOE has projected that between 151 million and 239 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 fuels68

Mainersquos opportunities to support these new vehicles include alternative fueling stations Maine

Department of Transportation (MDOT) refueling stations bus transit operations government public and

privately owned fleets and material handling and airport ground support equipment (GSE) Graphical

There are approximately 1400 retail fueling stations in Maine69

however only 10 public andor private

stations within the state provide alternative fuels such as biodiesel compressed natural gas propane

andor electricity for alternative-fueled vehicles70

There are also at least 17 refueling stations owned and

operated by MDOT 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 71

Development of

hydrogen fueling at alternative fuel stations and at selected locations owned and operated by MDOT

would help facilitate the deployment of FCEVs within the state (Appendix I ndash Figure 12 Alternative

Fueling Stations) Currently there are approximately 18 existing or planned transportation fueling

stations in the Northeast region where hydrogen is provided as an alternative fuel72737475

Fleets

There are over 7000 fleet vehicles (excluding state and federal vehicles) classified as non-leasing or

company owned vehicles in Maine 76

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 are an additional 1781 passenger automobiles andor light duty trucks in Maine

owned by state and federal agencies (excluding state police) that traveled a combined 14965373 miles in

2010 while releasing 1031 metrics tons of CO2 77

Conversion of fleet vehicles from conventional fossil

fuels to FCEVs could significantly reduce petroleum consumption and GHG emissions Fleet vehicle

hubs are 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 61 directly operated buses that provide public transportation services in Maine78

As discussed above replacement of a conventional diesel transit bus with a fuel cell transit bus would

result in the reduction of CO2 emissions (estimated at approximately 183000 pounds per year) and

reduction of diesel fuel (estimated at approximately 4390 gallons per year)79

Although the efficiency of

conventional diesel buses has increased conventional diesel buses which typically achieve fuel economy

performance levels of 39 miles per gallon have the greatest potential for energy savings by using high

efficiency fuel cells In addition to Maine other states have also begun the transition of fueling transit

buses with alternative fuels to improve efficiency and environmental performance

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

15 times lower maintenance cost

8 times lower refuelingrecharging labor cost

2 times lower net present value of total operations and management (OampM) system cost

63 percent less emissions of GHG (Appendix X 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 America80

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 IX for a partial list of companies in North America that using

fuel cell powered forklifts)81

There are approximately five distribution centerswarehouse sites that have

been identified in Maine that may benefit from the use of fuel cell powered material handling equipment

(Appendix I ndash Figure 13 Distribution CentersWarehouses amp Ports)

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

GSEs82

Potential large end-users of GSE that serve Mainersquos largest airports include Air Canada Delta

Airlines Continental JetBlue United and US Airways83

(Appendix I ndash Figure 11 Commercial

Airports)

Ports

Maine has 3480 miles of coastline with six cargo ports and 13 cruise ship ports The ports of Portland

and Bath Maine which service large vessels such as container ships tankers bulk carriers and cruise

ships may be candidates for improved energy management Commercial marine vessels (cargo ships

entering and leaving Marine ports) contribute approximately 166 tons of volatile organic compounds

(VOC) 1134 tons of NOX 374 tons of CO 124 tons of sulfur dioxide SO2 and 91 tons of particulate

matter (PM10) per year84

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 90000 cargo ships contains up to 2000 times the amount of

sulfur compared to diesel fuel used in automobiles85

Furthermore diesel emissions from cruise ships

while at port are a significant source of air pollution While docked vessels shut off their main engines

but use auxiliary diesel and steam engines to power refrigeration lights pumps and other functions a

process called ldquocold-ironing 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

The applications of fuel cell technology at ports may also provide electric and thermal energy for

improving energy management for warehouses and equipment operated between terminals (Appendix I ndash

As shown in Table 5 the analysis provided here estimates that there are approximately 266 potential

locations which may be favorable candidates for the application of a fuel cell to provide heat and power

Assuming the demand for electricity was uniform throughout the year approximately 150 to 192 fuel cell

units with a capacity of 300 ndash 400 kW could be deployed for a total fuel cell capacity of 58 to 77 MWs

If opportunities for fuel cell use in Maine identified in this report are met with 300 kW units a minimum

of 473040 MWh electric and 127 million MMBTUs (equivalent to 373404 MWh) of thermal energy

would be produced which could reduce CO2 emissions by at least 90824 tons per year 100

Maine 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

bull Replacement of a gasoline-fueled passenger vehicle with FCEVs could result in annual CO2

emission reductions (per vehicle) of approximately 10170 pounds annual energy savings of 230

gallons of gasoline and annual fuel cost savings of $885

bull Replacement of a gasoline-fueled light duty truck with FCEVs could result in annual CO2

emission reductions (per light duty truck) of approximately 15770 pounds annual energy savings

of 485 gallons of gasoline and annual fuel cost savings of $1866

bull Replacement of a diesel-fueled transit bus with a fuel cell powered bus could result in annual CO2

emission reductions (per bus) of approximately 182984 pounds annual energy savings of 4390

gallons of fuel and annual fuel cost savings of $17560

Hydrogen and fuel cell technology also provides significant opportunities for job creation andor

economic development Realizing over $2 million in revenue and investment in 2010 the hydrogen and

fuel cell industry in Maine is estimated to have contributed approximately $113000 in state and local tax

revenue and over $29 million in gross state product Currently there are at least 30 Maine companies

that are part of the growing hydrogen and fuel cell industry supply chain in the Northeast region If

neweremerging hydrogen and fuel cell technology were to gain momentum the number of companies

and employment for the industry could grow substantially

Energy Intensive Industries

As shown in Table 2 energy intensive industries with high electricity consumption (which on average is

48 percent of annual operating costs) have been identified as potential locations for the application of a

fuel cell45

In Maine there are approximately 156 of these industrial facilities that are involved in the

manufacture of aluminum chemicals forest products glass metal casting petroleum coal products or

steel and employ 25 or more employees46

Of these 156 locations 64 are located in communities serviced

by natural gas (Appendix I ndash Figure 7 Energy Intensive Industries)

Government Owned Buildings

Buildings operated by the federal government can be found at 114 locations in Maine four of these

properties are actively owned rather than leased by the federal government and are located in

communities serviced by natural gas (Appendix I ndash Figure 8 Federal Government Operated Buildings)

There are also a number of buildings owned and operated by the State of Maine 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 Maine there are approximately 509 telecommunications andor wireless company tower

sites (Appendix I ndash 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 this is typically accomplished with batteries or

conventional emergency generators48

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 back-up power is a T-Mobile facility located in Storrs Connecticut

Wastewater Treatment Plants (WWTPs) There are 111 WWTPs in Maine that have design flows ranging from 3000 gallons per day (GPD) to 16

million gallons per day (MGD) seven of these facilities average between 3 ndash 16 MGD WWTPs

typically operate 247 and may be able to utilize the thermal energy from the fuel cell to process fats oils

and grease49

WWTPs account for approximately three percent of the electric load in the United State50

Digester gas produced at WWTPrsquos 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 methane51

Most facilities currently represent a

lost opportunity to capture and use the digestion of methane emissions created from their operations

(Appendix I ndash Figure 10 Solid and Liquid Waste Sites) 5253

A 200 kW fuel cell power plant in Yonkers New York was the worldrsquos first commercial fuel cell to run

on a waste gas created at a wastewater treatment plant The fuel cell generates about 1600 MWh of

electricity a year and reduces methane emissions released to the environment54

Landfill Methane Outreach Program (LMOP)

There are 11 landfills in Maine identified by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) through their

LMOP program two of which are operational two are candidates and six are considered potential sites

for the production and recovery of methane gas 5657

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 ndash Figure 10 Solid

Airports

During peak air travel times in the US there are approximately 50000 airplanes in the sky each day

Ensuring safe operations of commercial and private aircrafts are the responsibility of air traffic

controllers Modern software host computers voice communication systems and instituted full scale

glide path angle capabilities assist air traffic controllers in tracking and communicating with aircrafts

consequently reliable electricity is extremely important and present an opportunity for a fuel cell power

application 58

There are approximately 103 airports in Maine including 47 that are open to the public and have

scheduled services Of those 47 airports six (Table 3) have 2500 or more passengers enplaned each

year two of these six facilities are located in communities serviced by natural gas (See Appendix I ndash

Military The US Department of Defense (DOD) is the largest funding organization in terms of supporting fuel

cell activities for military applications in the world DOD organizations are using fuel cells for

Stationary units for power supply in bases

Fuel cell units in transport applications

Portable units for equipping individual soldiers or group of soldiers

In a collaborative partnership with the DOE the DOD plans to install and operate 18 fuel cell backup

power systems at eight of its military installations two of which are located within the Northeast region

(New York and New Jersey)60

In addition the Portsmouth Naval Shipyard (PSNY) in Kittery Maine

occupies more than 297 acres on base employs approximately 4500 civilian employees and 100 naval

officers in addition to enlisted personal assigned to the shipyard and is a potential application for

POTENTIAL TRANSPORTATION TARGETS

Transportation is responsible for one-fourth of the total global GHG emissions and consumes 75 percent

of the worldrsquos oil production In 2010 the US used 21 million barrels of non-renewable petroleum each

day Roughly 29 percent of Mainersquos energy consumption is due to demands of the transportation sector

including gasoline and on-highway diesel petroleum for automobiles trucks and buses A small percent

of non-renewable petroleum is used for jet and ship fuel62

The current economy in the US 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)6364

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

10170 15770 and 182984 pounds per year respectively66

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 4390

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 $1866 per light duty truck and $17560 per bus67

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

US DOE has projected that between 151 million and 239 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 fuels68

Mainersquos opportunities to support these new vehicles include alternative fueling stations Maine

Department of Transportation (MDOT) refueling stations bus transit operations government public and

privately owned fleets and material handling and airport ground support equipment (GSE) Graphical

representation of these opportunities analyzed are depicted in Appendix I

Alternative Fueling Stations

There are approximately 1400 retail fueling stations in Maine69

however only 10 public andor private

stations within the state provide alternative fuels such as biodiesel compressed natural gas propane

andor electricity for alternative-fueled vehicles70

There are also at least 17 refueling stations owned and

operated by MDOT 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 71

Development of

hydrogen fueling at alternative fuel stations and at selected locations owned and operated by MDOT

would help facilitate the deployment of FCEVs within the state (Appendix I ndash Figure 12 Alternative

Fueling Stations) Currently there are approximately 18 existing or planned transportation fueling

stations in the Northeast region where hydrogen is provided as an alternative fuel72737475

Fleets

There are over 7000 fleet vehicles (excluding state and federal vehicles) classified as non-leasing or

company owned vehicles in Maine 76

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 are an additional 1781 passenger automobiles andor light duty trucks in Maine

owned by state and federal agencies (excluding state police) that traveled a combined 14965373 miles in

2010 while releasing 1031 metrics tons of CO2 77

Conversion of fleet vehicles from conventional fossil

fuels to FCEVs could significantly reduce petroleum consumption and GHG emissions Fleet vehicle

hubs are 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 61 directly operated buses that provide public transportation services in Maine78

As discussed above replacement of a conventional diesel transit bus with a fuel cell transit bus would

result in the reduction of CO2 emissions (estimated at approximately 183000 pounds per year) and

reduction of diesel fuel (estimated at approximately 4390 gallons per year)79

Although the efficiency of

conventional diesel buses has increased conventional diesel buses which typically achieve fuel economy

performance levels of 39 miles per gallon have the greatest potential for energy savings by using high

efficiency fuel cells In addition to Maine other states have also begun the transition of fueling transit

buses with alternative fuels to improve efficiency and environmental performance

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

15 times lower maintenance cost

8 times lower refuelingrecharging labor cost

2 times lower net present value of total operations and management (OampM) system cost

63 percent less emissions of GHG (Appendix X 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 America80

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 IX for a partial list of companies in North America that using

fuel cell powered forklifts)81

There are approximately five distribution centerswarehouse sites that have

been identified in Maine that may benefit from the use of fuel cell powered material handling equipment

(Appendix I ndash Figure 13 Distribution CentersWarehouses amp Ports)

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

GSEs82

Potential large end-users of GSE that serve Mainersquos largest airports include Air Canada Delta

Airlines Continental JetBlue United and US Airways83

(Appendix I ndash Figure 11 Commercial

Airports)

Ports

Maine has 3480 miles of coastline with six cargo ports and 13 cruise ship ports The ports of Portland

and Bath Maine which service large vessels such as container ships tankers bulk carriers and cruise

ships may be candidates for improved energy management Commercial marine vessels (cargo ships

entering and leaving Marine ports) contribute approximately 166 tons of volatile organic compounds

(VOC) 1134 tons of NOX 374 tons of CO 124 tons of sulfur dioxide SO2 and 91 tons of particulate

matter (PM10) per year84

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 90000 cargo ships contains up to 2000 times the amount of

sulfur compared to diesel fuel used in automobiles85

Furthermore diesel emissions from cruise ships

while at port are a significant source of air pollution While docked vessels shut off their main engines

but use auxiliary diesel and steam engines to power refrigeration lights pumps and other functions a

process called ldquocold-ironing 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

The applications of fuel cell technology at ports may also provide electric and thermal energy for

improving energy management for warehouses and equipment operated between terminals (Appendix I ndash

Total 7159+ 266 74 192

As shown in Table 5 the analysis provided here estimates that there are approximately 266 potential

locations which may be favorable candidates for the application of a fuel cell to provide heat and power

Assuming the demand for electricity was uniform throughout the year approximately 150 to 192 fuel cell

units with a capacity of 300 ndash 400 kW could be deployed for a total fuel cell capacity of 58 to 77 MWs

If opportunities for fuel cell use in Maine identified in this report are met with 300 kW units a minimum

of 473040 MWh electric and 127 million MMBTUs (equivalent to 373404 MWh) of thermal energy

would be produced which could reduce CO2 emissions by at least 90824 tons per year 100

Maine 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

bull Replacement of a gasoline-fueled passenger vehicle with FCEVs could result in annual CO2

emission reductions (per vehicle) of approximately 10170 pounds annual energy savings of 230

gallons of gasoline and annual fuel cost savings of $885

bull Replacement of a gasoline-fueled light duty truck with FCEVs could result in annual CO2

emission reductions (per light duty truck) of approximately 15770 pounds annual energy savings

of 485 gallons of gasoline and annual fuel cost savings of $1866

bull Replacement of a diesel-fueled transit bus with a fuel cell powered bus could result in annual CO2

emission reductions (per bus) of approximately 182984 pounds annual energy savings of 4390

gallons of fuel and annual fuel cost savings of $17560

Hydrogen and fuel cell technology also provides significant opportunities for job creation andor

economic development Realizing over $2 million in revenue and investment in 2010 the hydrogen and

fuel cell industry in Maine is estimated to have contributed approximately $113000 in state and local tax

revenue and over $29 million in gross state product Currently there are at least 30 Maine companies

that are part of the growing hydrogen and fuel cell industry supply chain in the Northeast region If

neweremerging hydrogen and fuel cell technology were to gain momentum the number of companies

and employment for the industry could grow substantially

99 Airport facilities with 2500+ annual Enplanement Counts andor AASF 100

If opportunities for fuel cell use in Maine identified in this report are met with 400 kW units a minimum of 665760 MWh

electric and 312 million MMBTUs (equivalent to 915127 MWh) of thermal energy would be produced which could reduce CO2

emissions by at least 127826 tons per year

Wireless Telecommunication Sites

Telecommunications companies rely on electricity to run call centers cell phone towers and other vital

equipment In Maine there are approximately 509 telecommunications andor wireless company tower

sites (Appendix I ndash 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 this is typically accomplished with batteries or

conventional emergency generators48

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 back-up power is a T-Mobile facility located in Storrs Connecticut

Wastewater Treatment Plants (WWTPs) There are 111 WWTPs in Maine that have design flows ranging from 3000 gallons per day (GPD) to 16

million gallons per day (MGD) seven of these facilities average between 3 ndash 16 MGD WWTPs

typically operate 247 and may be able to utilize the thermal energy from the fuel cell to process fats oils

and grease49

WWTPs account for approximately three percent of the electric load in the United State50

Digester gas produced at WWTPrsquos 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 methane51

Most facilities currently represent a

lost opportunity to capture and use the digestion of methane emissions created from their operations

(Appendix I ndash Figure 10 Solid and Liquid Waste Sites) 5253

A 200 kW fuel cell power plant in Yonkers New York was the worldrsquos first commercial fuel cell to run

on a waste gas created at a wastewater treatment plant The fuel cell generates about 1600 MWh of

electricity a year and reduces methane emissions released to the environment54

Landfill Methane Outreach Program (LMOP)

There are 11 landfills in Maine identified by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) through their

LMOP program two of which are operational two are candidates and six are considered potential sites

for the production and recovery of methane gas 5657

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 ndash Figure 10 Solid

Airports

During peak air travel times in the US there are approximately 50000 airplanes in the sky each day

Ensuring safe operations of commercial and private aircrafts are the responsibility of air traffic

controllers Modern software host computers voice communication systems and instituted full scale

glide path angle capabilities assist air traffic controllers in tracking and communicating with aircrafts

consequently reliable electricity is extremely important and present an opportunity for a fuel cell power

application 58

There are approximately 103 airports in Maine including 47 that are open to the public and have

scheduled services Of those 47 airports six (Table 3) have 2500 or more passengers enplaned each

year two of these six facilities are located in communities serviced by natural gas (See Appendix I ndash

Military The US Department of Defense (DOD) is the largest funding organization in terms of supporting fuel

cell activities for military applications in the world DOD organizations are using fuel cells for

Stationary units for power supply in bases

Fuel cell units in transport applications

Portable units for equipping individual soldiers or group of soldiers

In a collaborative partnership with the DOE the DOD plans to install and operate 18 fuel cell backup

power systems at eight of its military installations two of which are located within the Northeast region

(New York and New Jersey)60

In addition the Portsmouth Naval Shipyard (PSNY) in Kittery Maine

occupies more than 297 acres on base employs approximately 4500 civilian employees and 100 naval

officers in addition to enlisted personal assigned to the shipyard and is a potential application for

hydrogen and fuel cell technology (Appendix I ndash Figure 11 Commercial Airports) 61

POTENTIAL TRANSPORTATION TARGETS

Transportation is responsible for one-fourth of the total global GHG emissions and consumes 75 percent

of the worldrsquos oil production In 2010 the US used 21 million barrels of non-renewable petroleum each

day Roughly 29 percent of Mainersquos energy consumption is due to demands of the transportation sector

including gasoline and on-highway diesel petroleum for automobiles trucks and buses A small percent

of non-renewable petroleum is used for jet and ship fuel62

The current economy in the US 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)6364

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

10170 15770 and 182984 pounds per year respectively66

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 4390

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 $1866 per light duty truck and $17560 per bus67

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

US DOE has projected that between 151 million and 239 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 fuels68

Mainersquos opportunities to support these new vehicles include alternative fueling stations Maine

Department of Transportation (MDOT) refueling stations bus transit operations government public and

privately owned fleets and material handling and airport ground support equipment (GSE) Graphical

representation of these opportunities analyzed are depicted in Appendix I

Alternative Fueling Stations

There are approximately 1400 retail fueling stations in Maine69

however only 10 public andor private

stations within the state provide alternative fuels such as biodiesel compressed natural gas propane

andor electricity for alternative-fueled vehicles70

There are also at least 17 refueling stations owned and

operated by MDOT 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 71

Development of

hydrogen fueling at alternative fuel stations and at selected locations owned and operated by MDOT

would help facilitate the deployment of FCEVs within the state (Appendix I ndash Figure 12 Alternative

Fueling Stations) Currently there are approximately 18 existing or planned transportation fueling

stations in the Northeast region where hydrogen is provided as an alternative fuel72737475

Fleets

There are over 7000 fleet vehicles (excluding state and federal vehicles) classified as non-leasing or

company owned vehicles in Maine 76

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 are an additional 1781 passenger automobiles andor light duty trucks in Maine

owned by state and federal agencies (excluding state police) that traveled a combined 14965373 miles in

2010 while releasing 1031 metrics tons of CO2 77

Conversion of fleet vehicles from conventional fossil

fuels to FCEVs could significantly reduce petroleum consumption and GHG emissions Fleet vehicle

hubs are 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 61 directly operated buses that provide public transportation services in Maine78

As discussed above replacement of a conventional diesel transit bus with a fuel cell transit bus would

result in the reduction of CO2 emissions (estimated at approximately 183000 pounds per year) and

reduction of diesel fuel (estimated at approximately 4390 gallons per year)79

Although the efficiency of

conventional diesel buses has increased conventional diesel buses which typically achieve fuel economy

performance levels of 39 miles per gallon have the greatest potential for energy savings by using high

efficiency fuel cells In addition to Maine other states have also begun the transition of fueling transit

buses with alternative fuels to improve efficiency and environmental performance

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

15 times lower maintenance cost

8 times lower refuelingrecharging labor cost

2 times lower net present value of total operations and management (OampM) system cost

63 percent less emissions of GHG (Appendix X 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 America80

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 IX for a partial list of companies in North America that using

fuel cell powered forklifts)81

There are approximately five distribution centerswarehouse sites that have

been identified in Maine that may benefit from the use of fuel cell powered material handling equipment

(Appendix I ndash Figure 13 Distribution CentersWarehouses amp Ports)

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

GSEs82

Potential large end-users of GSE that serve Mainersquos largest airports include Air Canada Delta

Airlines Continental JetBlue United and US Airways83

(Appendix I ndash Figure 11 Commercial

Airports)

Ports

Maine has 3480 miles of coastline with six cargo ports and 13 cruise ship ports The ports of Portland

and Bath Maine which service large vessels such as container ships tankers bulk carriers and cruise

ships may be candidates for improved energy management Commercial marine vessels (cargo ships

entering and leaving Marine ports) contribute approximately 166 tons of volatile organic compounds

(VOC) 1134 tons of NOX 374 tons of CO 124 tons of sulfur dioxide SO2 and 91 tons of particulate

matter (PM10) per year84

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 90000 cargo ships contains up to 2000 times the amount of

sulfur compared to diesel fuel used in automobiles85

Furthermore diesel emissions from cruise ships

while at port are a significant source of air pollution While docked vessels shut off their main engines

but use auxiliary diesel and steam engines to power refrigeration lights pumps and other functions a

process called ldquocold-ironing 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

The applications of fuel cell technology at ports may also provide electric and thermal energy for

improving energy management for warehouses and equipment operated between terminals (Appendix I ndash

As shown in Table 5 the analysis provided here estimates that there are approximately 266 potential

locations which may be favorable candidates for the application of a fuel cell to provide heat and power

Assuming the demand for electricity was uniform throughout the year approximately 150 to 192 fuel cell

units with a capacity of 300 ndash 400 kW could be deployed for a total fuel cell capacity of 58 to 77 MWs

If opportunities for fuel cell use in Maine identified in this report are met with 300 kW units a minimum

of 473040 MWh electric and 127 million MMBTUs (equivalent to 373404 MWh) of thermal energy

would be produced which could reduce CO2 emissions by at least 90824 tons per year 100

Maine 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

bull Replacement of a gasoline-fueled passenger vehicle with FCEVs could result in annual CO2

emission reductions (per vehicle) of approximately 10170 pounds annual energy savings of 230

gallons of gasoline and annual fuel cost savings of $885

bull Replacement of a gasoline-fueled light duty truck with FCEVs could result in annual CO2

emission reductions (per light duty truck) of approximately 15770 pounds annual energy savings

of 485 gallons of gasoline and annual fuel cost savings of $1866

bull Replacement of a diesel-fueled transit bus with a fuel cell powered bus could result in annual CO2

emission reductions (per bus) of approximately 182984 pounds annual energy savings of 4390

gallons of fuel and annual fuel cost savings of $17560

Hydrogen and fuel cell technology also provides significant opportunities for job creation andor

economic development Realizing over $2 million in revenue and investment in 2010 the hydrogen and

fuel cell industry in Maine is estimated to have contributed approximately $113000 in state and local tax

revenue and over $29 million in gross state product Currently there are at least 30 Maine companies

that are part of the growing hydrogen and fuel cell industry supply chain in the Northeast region If

neweremerging hydrogen and fuel cell technology were to gain momentum the number of companies

and employment for the industry could grow substantially

If opportunities for fuel cell use in Maine identified in this report are met with 400 kW units a minimum of 665760 MWh

electric and 312 million MMBTUs (equivalent to 915127 MWh) of thermal energy would be produced which could reduce CO2

emissions by at least 127826 tons per year

Landfill Methane Outreach Program (LMOP)

There are 11 landfills in Maine identified by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) through their

LMOP program two of which are operational two are candidates and six are considered potential sites

for the production and recovery of methane gas 5657

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 ndash Figure 10 Solid

Airports

During peak air travel times in the US there are approximately 50000 airplanes in the sky each day

Ensuring safe operations of commercial and private aircrafts are the responsibility of air traffic

controllers Modern software host computers voice communication systems and instituted full scale

glide path angle capabilities assist air traffic controllers in tracking and communicating with aircrafts

consequently reliable electricity is extremely important and present an opportunity for a fuel cell power

application 58

There are approximately 103 airports in Maine including 47 that are open to the public and have

scheduled services Of those 47 airports six (Table 3) have 2500 or more passengers enplaned each

year two of these six facilities are located in communities serviced by natural gas (See Appendix I ndash

Military The US Department of Defense (DOD) is the largest funding organization in terms of supporting fuel

cell activities for military applications in the world DOD organizations are using fuel cells for

Stationary units for power supply in bases

Fuel cell units in transport applications

Portable units for equipping individual soldiers or group of soldiers

In a collaborative partnership with the DOE the DOD plans to install and operate 18 fuel cell backup

power systems at eight of its military installations two of which are located within the Northeast region

(New York and New Jersey)60

In addition the Portsmouth Naval Shipyard (PSNY) in Kittery Maine

occupies more than 297 acres on base employs approximately 4500 civilian employees and 100 naval

officers in addition to enlisted personal assigned to the shipyard and is a potential application for

hydrogen and fuel cell technology (Appendix I ndash Figure 11 Commercial Airports) 61

POTENTIAL TRANSPORTATION TARGETS

Transportation is responsible for one-fourth of the total global GHG emissions and consumes 75 percent

of the worldrsquos oil production In 2010 the US used 21 million barrels of non-renewable petroleum each

day Roughly 29 percent of Mainersquos energy consumption is due to demands of the transportation sector

including gasoline and on-highway diesel petroleum for automobiles trucks and buses A small percent

of non-renewable petroleum is used for jet and ship fuel62

The current economy in the US 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)6364

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

10170 15770 and 182984 pounds per year respectively66

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 4390

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 $1866 per light duty truck and $17560 per bus67

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

US DOE has projected that between 151 million and 239 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 fuels68

Mainersquos opportunities to support these new vehicles include alternative fueling stations Maine

Department of Transportation (MDOT) refueling stations bus transit operations government public and

privately owned fleets and material handling and airport ground support equipment (GSE) Graphical

representation of these opportunities analyzed are depicted in Appendix I

Alternative Fueling Stations

There are approximately 1400 retail fueling stations in Maine69

however only 10 public andor private

stations within the state provide alternative fuels such as biodiesel compressed natural gas propane

andor electricity for alternative-fueled vehicles70

There are also at least 17 refueling stations owned and

operated by MDOT 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 71

Development of

hydrogen fueling at alternative fuel stations and at selected locations owned and operated by MDOT

would help facilitate the deployment of FCEVs within the state (Appendix I ndash Figure 12 Alternative

Fueling Stations) Currently there are approximately 18 existing or planned transportation fueling

stations in the Northeast region where hydrogen is provided as an alternative fuel72737475

Fleets

There are over 7000 fleet vehicles (excluding state and federal vehicles) classified as non-leasing or

company owned vehicles in Maine 76

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 are an additional 1781 passenger automobiles andor light duty trucks in Maine

owned by state and federal agencies (excluding state police) that traveled a combined 14965373 miles in

2010 while releasing 1031 metrics tons of CO2 77

Conversion of fleet vehicles from conventional fossil

fuels to FCEVs could significantly reduce petroleum consumption and GHG emissions Fleet vehicle

hubs are 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 61 directly operated buses that provide public transportation services in Maine78

As discussed above replacement of a conventional diesel transit bus with a fuel cell transit bus would

result in the reduction of CO2 emissions (estimated at approximately 183000 pounds per year) and

reduction of diesel fuel (estimated at approximately 4390 gallons per year)79

Although the efficiency of

conventional diesel buses has increased conventional diesel buses which typically achieve fuel economy

performance levels of 39 miles per gallon have the greatest potential for energy savings by using high

efficiency fuel cells In addition to Maine other states have also begun the transition of fueling transit

buses with alternative fuels to improve efficiency and environmental performance

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

15 times lower maintenance cost

8 times lower refuelingrecharging labor cost

2 times lower net present value of total operations and management (OampM) system cost

63 percent less emissions of GHG (Appendix X 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 America80

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 IX for a partial list of companies in North America that using

fuel cell powered forklifts)81

There are approximately five distribution centerswarehouse sites that have

been identified in Maine that may benefit from the use of fuel cell powered material handling equipment

(Appendix I ndash Figure 13 Distribution CentersWarehouses amp Ports)

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

GSEs82

Potential large end-users of GSE that serve Mainersquos largest airports include Air Canada Delta

Airlines Continental JetBlue United and US Airways83

(Appendix I ndash Figure 11 Commercial

Airports)

Ports

Maine has 3480 miles of coastline with six cargo ports and 13 cruise ship ports The ports of Portland

and Bath Maine which service large vessels such as container ships tankers bulk carriers and cruise

ships may be candidates for improved energy management Commercial marine vessels (cargo ships

entering and leaving Marine ports) contribute approximately 166 tons of volatile organic compounds

(VOC) 1134 tons of NOX 374 tons of CO 124 tons of sulfur dioxide SO2 and 91 tons of particulate

matter (PM10) per year84

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 90000 cargo ships contains up to 2000 times the amount of

sulfur compared to diesel fuel used in automobiles85

Furthermore diesel emissions from cruise ships

while at port are a significant source of air pollution While docked vessels shut off their main engines

but use auxiliary diesel and steam engines to power refrigeration lights pumps and other functions a

process called ldquocold-ironing 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

The applications of fuel cell technology at ports may also provide electric and thermal energy for

improving energy management for warehouses and equipment operated between terminals (Appendix I ndash

As shown in Table 5 the analysis provided here estimates that there are approximately 266 potential

locations which may be favorable candidates for the application of a fuel cell to provide heat and power

Assuming the demand for electricity was uniform throughout the year approximately 150 to 192 fuel cell

units with a capacity of 300 ndash 400 kW could be deployed for a total fuel cell capacity of 58 to 77 MWs

If opportunities for fuel cell use in Maine identified in this report are met with 300 kW units a minimum

of 473040 MWh electric and 127 million MMBTUs (equivalent to 373404 MWh) of thermal energy

would be produced which could reduce CO2 emissions by at least 90824 tons per year 100

Maine 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

fuel cell industry in Maine is estimated to have contributed approximately $113000 in state and local tax

revenue and over $29 million in gross state product Currently there are at least 30 Maine companies

that are part of the growing hydrogen and fuel cell industry supply chain in the Northeast region If

neweremerging hydrogen and fuel cell technology were to gain momentum the number of companies

and employment for the industry could grow substantially

Military The US Department of Defense (DOD) is the largest funding organization in terms of supporting fuel

cell activities for military applications in the world DOD organizations are using fuel cells for

Stationary units for power supply in bases

Fuel cell units in transport applications

Portable units for equipping individual soldiers or group of soldiers

In a collaborative partnership with the DOE the DOD plans to install and operate 18 fuel cell backup

power systems at eight of its military installations two of which are located within the Northeast region

(New York and New Jersey)60

In addition the Portsmouth Naval Shipyard (PSNY) in Kittery Maine

occupies more than 297 acres on base employs approximately 4500 civilian employees and 100 naval

officers in addition to enlisted personal assigned to the shipyard and is a potential application for

hydrogen and fuel cell technology (Appendix I ndash Figure 11 Commercial Airports) 61

POTENTIAL TRANSPORTATION TARGETS

Transportation is responsible for one-fourth of the total global GHG emissions and consumes 75 percent

of the worldrsquos oil production In 2010 the US used 21 million barrels of non-renewable petroleum each

day Roughly 29 percent of Mainersquos energy consumption is due to demands of the transportation sector

including gasoline and on-highway diesel petroleum for automobiles trucks and buses A small percent

of non-renewable petroleum is used for jet and ship fuel62

The current economy in the US 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)6364

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

10170 15770 and 182984 pounds per year respectively66

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 4390

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 $1866 per light duty truck and $17560 per bus67

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

US DOE has projected that between 151 million and 239 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 fuels68

Mainersquos opportunities to support these new vehicles include alternative fueling stations Maine

Department of Transportation (MDOT) refueling stations bus transit operations government public and

privately owned fleets and material handling and airport ground support equipment (GSE) Graphical

representation of these opportunities analyzed are depicted in Appendix I

Alternative Fueling Stations

There are approximately 1400 retail fueling stations in Maine69

however only 10 public andor private

stations within the state provide alternative fuels such as biodiesel compressed natural gas propane

andor electricity for alternative-fueled vehicles70

There are also at least 17 refueling stations owned and

operated by MDOT 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 71

Development of

hydrogen fueling at alternative fuel stations and at selected locations owned and operated by MDOT

would help facilitate the deployment of FCEVs within the state (Appendix I ndash Figure 12 Alternative

Fueling Stations) Currently there are approximately 18 existing or planned transportation fueling

stations in the Northeast region where hydrogen is provided as an alternative fuel72737475

Fleets

There are over 7000 fleet vehicles (excluding state and federal vehicles) classified as non-leasing or

company owned vehicles in Maine 76

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 are an additional 1781 passenger automobiles andor light duty trucks in Maine

owned by state and federal agencies (excluding state police) that traveled a combined 14965373 miles in

2010 while releasing 1031 metrics tons of CO2 77

Conversion of fleet vehicles from conventional fossil

fuels to FCEVs could significantly reduce petroleum consumption and GHG emissions Fleet vehicle

hubs are 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 61 directly operated buses that provide public transportation services in Maine78

As discussed above replacement of a conventional diesel transit bus with a fuel cell transit bus would

result in the reduction of CO2 emissions (estimated at approximately 183000 pounds per year) and

reduction of diesel fuel (estimated at approximately 4390 gallons per year)79

Although the efficiency of

conventional diesel buses has increased conventional diesel buses which typically achieve fuel economy

performance levels of 39 miles per gallon have the greatest potential for energy savings by using high

efficiency fuel cells In addition to Maine other states have also begun the transition of fueling transit

buses with alternative fuels to improve efficiency and environmental performance

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

15 times lower maintenance cost

8 times lower refuelingrecharging labor cost

2 times lower net present value of total operations and management (OampM) system cost

63 percent less emissions of GHG (Appendix X 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 America80

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 IX for a partial list of companies in North America that using

fuel cell powered forklifts)81

There are approximately five distribution centerswarehouse sites that have

been identified in Maine that may benefit from the use of fuel cell powered material handling equipment

(Appendix I ndash Figure 13 Distribution CentersWarehouses amp Ports)

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

GSEs82

Potential large end-users of GSE that serve Mainersquos largest airports include Air Canada Delta

Airlines Continental JetBlue United and US Airways83

(Appendix I ndash Figure 11 Commercial

Airports)

Ports

Maine has 3480 miles of coastline with six cargo ports and 13 cruise ship ports The ports of Portland

and Bath Maine which service large vessels such as container ships tankers bulk carriers and cruise

ships may be candidates for improved energy management Commercial marine vessels (cargo ships

entering and leaving Marine ports) contribute approximately 166 tons of volatile organic compounds

(VOC) 1134 tons of NOX 374 tons of CO 124 tons of sulfur dioxide SO2 and 91 tons of particulate

matter (PM10) per year84

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 90000 cargo ships contains up to 2000 times the amount of

sulfur compared to diesel fuel used in automobiles85

Furthermore diesel emissions from cruise ships

while at port are a significant source of air pollution While docked vessels shut off their main engines

but use auxiliary diesel and steam engines to power refrigeration lights pumps and other functions a

process called ldquocold-ironing 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

The applications of fuel cell technology at ports may also provide electric and thermal energy for

improving energy management for warehouses and equipment operated between terminals (Appendix I ndash

As shown in Table 5 the analysis provided here estimates that there are approximately 266 potential

locations which may be favorable candidates for the application of a fuel cell to provide heat and power

Assuming the demand for electricity was uniform throughout the year approximately 150 to 192 fuel cell

units with a capacity of 300 ndash 400 kW could be deployed for a total fuel cell capacity of 58 to 77 MWs

If opportunities for fuel cell use in Maine identified in this report are met with 300 kW units a minimum

of 473040 MWh electric and 127 million MMBTUs (equivalent to 373404 MWh) of thermal energy

would be produced which could reduce CO2 emissions by at least 90824 tons per year 100

Maine 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

bull Replacement of a gasoline-fueled passenger vehicle with FCEVs could result in annual CO2

emission reductions (per vehicle) of approximately 10170 pounds annual energy savings of 230

gallons of gasoline and annual fuel cost savings of $885

bull Replacement of a gasoline-fueled light duty truck with FCEVs could result in annual CO2

emission reductions (per light duty truck) of approximately 15770 pounds annual energy savings

of 485 gallons of gasoline and annual fuel cost savings of $1866

bull Replacement of a diesel-fueled transit bus with a fuel cell powered bus could result in annual CO2

emission reductions (per bus) of approximately 182984 pounds annual energy savings of 4390

gallons of fuel and annual fuel cost savings of $17560

Hydrogen and fuel cell technology also provides significant opportunities for job creation andor

economic development Realizing over $2 million in revenue and investment in 2010 the hydrogen and

fuel cell industry in Maine is estimated to have contributed approximately $113000 in state and local tax

revenue and over $29 million in gross state product Currently there are at least 30 Maine companies

that are part of the growing hydrogen and fuel cell industry supply chain in the Northeast region If

neweremerging hydrogen and fuel cell technology were to gain momentum the number of companies

and employment for the industry could grow substantially

99 Airport facilities with 2500+ annual Enplanement Counts andor AASF 100

If opportunities for fuel cell use in Maine identified in this report are met with 400 kW units a minimum of 665760 MWh

electric and 312 million MMBTUs (equivalent to 915127 MWh) of thermal energy would be produced which could reduce CO2

emissions by at least 127826 tons per year

POTENTIAL TRANSPORTATION TARGETS

Transportation is responsible for one-fourth of the total global GHG emissions and consumes 75 percent

of the worldrsquos oil production In 2010 the US used 21 million barrels of non-renewable petroleum each

day Roughly 29 percent of Mainersquos energy consumption is due to demands of the transportation sector

including gasoline and on-highway diesel petroleum for automobiles trucks and buses A small percent

of non-renewable petroleum is used for jet and ship fuel62

The current economy in the US 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

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

10170 15770 and 182984 pounds per year respectively66

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 4390

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 $1866 per light duty truck and $17560 per bus67

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

US DOE has projected that between 151 million and 239 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 fuels68

Mainersquos opportunities to support these new vehicles include alternative fueling stations Maine

Department of Transportation (MDOT) refueling stations bus transit operations government public and

privately owned fleets and material handling and airport ground support equipment (GSE) Graphical

representation of these opportunities analyzed are depicted in Appendix I

Alternative Fueling Stations

There are approximately 1400 retail fueling stations in Maine69

however only 10 public andor private

stations within the state provide alternative fuels such as biodiesel compressed natural gas propane

andor electricity for alternative-fueled vehicles70

There are also at least 17 refueling stations owned and

operated by MDOT 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 71

Development of

hydrogen fueling at alternative fuel stations and at selected locations owned and operated by MDOT

would help facilitate the deployment of FCEVs within the state (Appendix I ndash Figure 12 Alternative

Fueling Stations) Currently there are approximately 18 existing or planned transportation fueling

stations in the Northeast region where hydrogen is provided as an alternative fuel72737475

Fleets

There are over 7000 fleet vehicles (excluding state and federal vehicles) classified as non-leasing or

company owned vehicles in Maine 76

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 are an additional 1781 passenger automobiles andor light duty trucks in Maine

owned by state and federal agencies (excluding state police) that traveled a combined 14965373 miles in

2010 while releasing 1031 metrics tons of CO2 77

Conversion of fleet vehicles from conventional fossil

fuels to FCEVs could significantly reduce petroleum consumption and GHG emissions Fleet vehicle

hubs are 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 61 directly operated buses that provide public transportation services in Maine78

As discussed above replacement of a conventional diesel transit bus with a fuel cell transit bus would

result in the reduction of CO2 emissions (estimated at approximately 183000 pounds per year) and

reduction of diesel fuel (estimated at approximately 4390 gallons per year)79

Although the efficiency of

conventional diesel buses has increased conventional diesel buses which typically achieve fuel economy

performance levels of 39 miles per gallon have the greatest potential for energy savings by using high

efficiency fuel cells In addition to Maine other states have also begun the transition of fueling transit

buses with alternative fuels to improve efficiency and environmental performance

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

15 times lower maintenance cost

8 times lower refuelingrecharging labor cost

2 times lower net present value of total operations and management (OampM) system cost

63 percent less emissions of GHG (Appendix X 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 America80

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 IX for a partial list of companies in North America that using

fuel cell powered forklifts)81

There are approximately five distribution centerswarehouse sites that have

been identified in Maine that may benefit from the use of fuel cell powered material handling equipment

(Appendix I ndash Figure 13 Distribution CentersWarehouses amp Ports)

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

GSEs82

Potential large end-users of GSE that serve Mainersquos largest airports include Air Canada Delta

Airlines Continental JetBlue United and US Airways83

(Appendix I ndash Figure 11 Commercial

Airports)

Ports

Maine has 3480 miles of coastline with six cargo ports and 13 cruise ship ports The ports of Portland

and Bath Maine which service large vessels such as container ships tankers bulk carriers and cruise

ships may be candidates for improved energy management Commercial marine vessels (cargo ships

entering and leaving Marine ports) contribute approximately 166 tons of volatile organic compounds

(VOC) 1134 tons of NOX 374 tons of CO 124 tons of sulfur dioxide SO2 and 91 tons of particulate

matter (PM10) per year84

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 90000 cargo ships contains up to 2000 times the amount of

sulfur compared to diesel fuel used in automobiles85

Furthermore diesel emissions from cruise ships

while at port are a significant source of air pollution While docked vessels shut off their main engines

but use auxiliary diesel and steam engines to power refrigeration lights pumps and other functions a

process called ldquocold-ironing 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

The applications of fuel cell technology at ports may also provide electric and thermal energy for

improving energy management for warehouses and equipment operated between terminals (Appendix I ndash

As shown in Table 5 the analysis provided here estimates that there are approximately 266 potential

locations which may be favorable candidates for the application of a fuel cell to provide heat and power

Assuming the demand for electricity was uniform throughout the year approximately 150 to 192 fuel cell

units with a capacity of 300 ndash 400 kW could be deployed for a total fuel cell capacity of 58 to 77 MWs

If opportunities for fuel cell use in Maine identified in this report are met with 300 kW units a minimum

of 473040 MWh electric and 127 million MMBTUs (equivalent to 373404 MWh) of thermal energy

would be produced which could reduce CO2 emissions by at least 90824 tons per year 100

Maine 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

fuel cell industry in Maine is estimated to have contributed approximately $113000 in state and local tax

revenue and over $29 million in gross state product Currently there are at least 30 Maine companies

that are part of the growing hydrogen and fuel cell industry supply chain in the Northeast region If

neweremerging hydrogen and fuel cell technology were to gain momentum the number of companies

and employment for the industry could grow substantially

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

10170 15770 and 182984 pounds per year respectively66

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 4390

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 $1866 per light duty truck and $17560 per bus67

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

US DOE has projected that between 151 million and 239 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 fuels68

Mainersquos opportunities to support these new vehicles include alternative fueling stations Maine

Department of Transportation (MDOT) refueling stations bus transit operations government public and

privately owned fleets and material handling and airport ground support equipment (GSE) Graphical

representation of these opportunities analyzed are depicted in Appendix I

Alternative Fueling Stations

There are approximately 1400 retail fueling stations in Maine69

however only 10 public andor private

stations within the state provide alternative fuels such as biodiesel compressed natural gas propane

andor electricity for alternative-fueled vehicles70

There are also at least 17 refueling stations owned and

operated by MDOT 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 71

Development of

hydrogen fueling at alternative fuel stations and at selected locations owned and operated by MDOT

would help facilitate the deployment of FCEVs within the state (Appendix I ndash Figure 12 Alternative

Fueling Stations) Currently there are approximately 18 existing or planned transportation fueling

stations in the Northeast region where hydrogen is provided as an alternative fuel72737475

Fleets

There are over 7000 fleet vehicles (excluding state and federal vehicles) classified as non-leasing or

company owned vehicles in Maine 76

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 are an additional 1781 passenger automobiles andor light duty trucks in Maine

owned by state and federal agencies (excluding state police) that traveled a combined 14965373 miles in

2010 while releasing 1031 metrics tons of CO2 77

Conversion of fleet vehicles from conventional fossil

fuels to FCEVs could significantly reduce petroleum consumption and GHG emissions Fleet vehicle

hubs are 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 61 directly operated buses that provide public transportation services in Maine78

As discussed above replacement of a conventional diesel transit bus with a fuel cell transit bus would

result in the reduction of CO2 emissions (estimated at approximately 183000 pounds per year) and

reduction of diesel fuel (estimated at approximately 4390 gallons per year)79

Although the efficiency of

conventional diesel buses has increased conventional diesel buses which typically achieve fuel economy

performance levels of 39 miles per gallon have the greatest potential for energy savings by using high

efficiency fuel cells In addition to Maine other states have also begun the transition of fueling transit

buses with alternative fuels to improve efficiency and environmental performance

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

15 times lower maintenance cost

8 times lower refuelingrecharging labor cost

2 times lower net present value of total operations and management (OampM) system cost

63 percent less emissions of GHG (Appendix X 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 America80

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 IX for a partial list of companies in North America that using

fuel cell powered forklifts)81

There are approximately five distribution centerswarehouse sites that have

been identified in Maine that may benefit from the use of fuel cell powered material handling equipment

(Appendix I ndash Figure 13 Distribution CentersWarehouses amp Ports)

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

GSEs82

Potential large end-users of GSE that serve Mainersquos largest airports include Air Canada Delta

Airlines Continental JetBlue United and US Airways83

(Appendix I ndash Figure 11 Commercial

Airports)

Ports

Maine has 3480 miles of coastline with six cargo ports and 13 cruise ship ports The ports of Portland

and Bath Maine which service large vessels such as container ships tankers bulk carriers and cruise

ships may be candidates for improved energy management Commercial marine vessels (cargo ships

entering and leaving Marine ports) contribute approximately 166 tons of volatile organic compounds

(VOC) 1134 tons of NOX 374 tons of CO 124 tons of sulfur dioxide SO2 and 91 tons of particulate

matter (PM10) per year84

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 90000 cargo ships contains up to 2000 times the amount of

sulfur compared to diesel fuel used in automobiles85

Furthermore diesel emissions from cruise ships

while at port are a significant source of air pollution While docked vessels shut off their main engines

but use auxiliary diesel and steam engines to power refrigeration lights pumps and other functions a

process called ldquocold-ironing 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

The applications of fuel cell technology at ports may also provide electric and thermal energy for

improving energy management for warehouses and equipment operated between terminals (Appendix I ndash

As shown in Table 5 the analysis provided here estimates that there are approximately 266 potential

locations which may be favorable candidates for the application of a fuel cell to provide heat and power

Assuming the demand for electricity was uniform throughout the year approximately 150 to 192 fuel cell

units with a capacity of 300 ndash 400 kW could be deployed for a total fuel cell capacity of 58 to 77 MWs

If opportunities for fuel cell use in Maine identified in this report are met with 300 kW units a minimum

of 473040 MWh electric and 127 million MMBTUs (equivalent to 373404 MWh) of thermal energy

would be produced which could reduce CO2 emissions by at least 90824 tons per year 100

Maine 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

bull Replacement of a gasoline-fueled passenger vehicle with FCEVs could result in annual CO2

emission reductions (per vehicle) of approximately 10170 pounds annual energy savings of 230

gallons of gasoline and annual fuel cost savings of $885

bull Replacement of a gasoline-fueled light duty truck with FCEVs could result in annual CO2

emission reductions (per light duty truck) of approximately 15770 pounds annual energy savings

Hydrogen and fuel cell technology also provides significant opportunities for job creation andor

economic development Realizing over $2 million in revenue and investment in 2010 the hydrogen and

fuel cell industry in Maine is estimated to have contributed approximately $113000 in state and local tax

revenue and over $29 million in gross state product Currently there are at least 30 Maine companies

that are part of the growing hydrogen and fuel cell industry supply chain in the Northeast region If

neweremerging hydrogen and fuel cell technology were to gain momentum the number of companies

and employment for the industry could grow substantially

Fleets

There are over 7000 fleet vehicles (excluding state and federal vehicles) classified as non-leasing or

company owned vehicles in Maine 76

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 are an additional 1781 passenger automobiles andor light duty trucks in Maine

owned by state and federal agencies (excluding state police) that traveled a combined 14965373 miles in

2010 while releasing 1031 metrics tons of CO2 77

Conversion of fleet vehicles from conventional fossil

fuels to FCEVs could significantly reduce petroleum consumption and GHG emissions Fleet vehicle

hubs are 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 61 directly operated buses that provide public transportation services in Maine78

As discussed above replacement of a conventional diesel transit bus with a fuel cell transit bus would

result in the reduction of CO2 emissions (estimated at approximately 183000 pounds per year) and

reduction of diesel fuel (estimated at approximately 4390 gallons per year)79

Although the efficiency of

conventional diesel buses has increased conventional diesel buses which typically achieve fuel economy

performance levels of 39 miles per gallon have the greatest potential for energy savings by using high

efficiency fuel cells In addition to Maine other states have also begun the transition of fueling transit

buses with alternative fuels to improve efficiency and environmental performance

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

15 times lower maintenance cost

8 times lower refuelingrecharging labor cost

2 times lower net present value of total operations and management (OampM) system cost

63 percent less emissions of GHG (Appendix X 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 America80

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 IX for a partial list of companies in North America that using

fuel cell powered forklifts)81

There are approximately five distribution centerswarehouse sites that have

been identified in Maine that may benefit from the use of fuel cell powered material handling equipment

(Appendix I ndash Figure 13 Distribution CentersWarehouses amp Ports)

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

GSEs82

Potential large end-users of GSE that serve Mainersquos largest airports include Air Canada Delta

Airlines Continental JetBlue United and US Airways83

(Appendix I ndash Figure 11 Commercial

Airports)

Ports

Maine has 3480 miles of coastline with six cargo ports and 13 cruise ship ports The ports of Portland

and Bath Maine which service large vessels such as container ships tankers bulk carriers and cruise

ships may be candidates for improved energy management Commercial marine vessels (cargo ships

entering and leaving Marine ports) contribute approximately 166 tons of volatile organic compounds

(VOC) 1134 tons of NOX 374 tons of CO 124 tons of sulfur dioxide SO2 and 91 tons of particulate

matter (PM10) per year84

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 90000 cargo ships contains up to 2000 times the amount of

sulfur compared to diesel fuel used in automobiles85

Furthermore diesel emissions from cruise ships

while at port are a significant source of air pollution While docked vessels shut off their main engines

but use auxiliary diesel and steam engines to power refrigeration lights pumps and other functions a

process called ldquocold-ironing 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

The applications of fuel cell technology at ports may also provide electric and thermal energy for

improving energy management for warehouses and equipment operated between terminals (Appendix I ndash

Total 7159+ 266 74 192

As shown in Table 5 the analysis provided here estimates that there are approximately 266 potential

locations which may be favorable candidates for the application of a fuel cell to provide heat and power

Assuming the demand for electricity was uniform throughout the year approximately 150 to 192 fuel cell

units with a capacity of 300 ndash 400 kW could be deployed for a total fuel cell capacity of 58 to 77 MWs

If opportunities for fuel cell use in Maine identified in this report are met with 300 kW units a minimum

of 473040 MWh electric and 127 million MMBTUs (equivalent to 373404 MWh) of thermal energy

would be produced which could reduce CO2 emissions by at least 90824 tons per year 100

Maine 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

bull Replacement of a gasoline-fueled passenger vehicle with FCEVs could result in annual CO2

emission reductions (per vehicle) of approximately 10170 pounds annual energy savings of 230

gallons of gasoline and annual fuel cost savings of $885

bull Replacement of a gasoline-fueled light duty truck with FCEVs could result in annual CO2

emission reductions (per light duty truck) of approximately 15770 pounds annual energy savings

of 485 gallons of gasoline and annual fuel cost savings of $1866

bull Replacement of a diesel-fueled transit bus with a fuel cell powered bus could result in annual CO2

emission reductions (per bus) of approximately 182984 pounds annual energy savings of 4390

gallons of fuel and annual fuel cost savings of $17560

Hydrogen and fuel cell technology also provides significant opportunities for job creation andor

economic development Realizing over $2 million in revenue and investment in 2010 the hydrogen and

fuel cell industry in Maine is estimated to have contributed approximately $113000 in state and local tax

revenue and over $29 million in gross state product Currently there are at least 30 Maine companies

that are part of the growing hydrogen and fuel cell industry supply chain in the Northeast region If

neweremerging hydrogen and fuel cell technology were to gain momentum the number of companies

and employment for the industry could grow substantially

99 Airport facilities with 2500+ annual Enplanement Counts andor AASF 100

If opportunities for fuel cell use in Maine identified in this report are met with 400 kW units a minimum of 665760 MWh

electric and 312 million MMBTUs (equivalent to 915127 MWh) of thermal energy would be produced which could reduce CO2

emissions by at least 127826 tons per year

MAINE

63 percent less emissions of GHG (Appendix X 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 America80

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 IX for a partial list of companies in North America that using

fuel cell powered forklifts)81

There are approximately five distribution centerswarehouse sites that have

been identified in Maine that may benefit from the use of fuel cell powered material handling equipment

(Appendix I ndash Figure 13 Distribution CentersWarehouses amp Ports)

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

GSEs82

Potential large end-users of GSE that serve Mainersquos largest airports include Air Canada Delta

Airlines Continental JetBlue United and US Airways83

(Appendix I ndash Figure 11 Commercial

Airports)

Ports

Maine has 3480 miles of coastline with six cargo ports and 13 cruise ship ports The ports of Portland

and Bath Maine which service large vessels such as container ships tankers bulk carriers and cruise

ships may be candidates for improved energy management Commercial marine vessels (cargo ships

entering and leaving Marine ports) contribute approximately 166 tons of volatile organic compounds

(VOC) 1134 tons of NOX 374 tons of CO 124 tons of sulfur dioxide SO2 and 91 tons of particulate

matter (PM10) per year84

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 90000 cargo ships contains up to 2000 times the amount of

sulfur compared to diesel fuel used in automobiles85

Furthermore diesel emissions from cruise ships

while at port are a significant source of air pollution While docked vessels shut off their main engines

but use auxiliary diesel and steam engines to power refrigeration lights pumps and other functions a

process called ldquocold-ironing 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

The applications of fuel cell technology at ports may also provide electric and thermal energy for

improving energy management for warehouses and equipment operated between terminals (Appendix I ndash

CONCLUSION

Hydrogen and fuel cell technology offers significant opportunities for improved energy reliability energy

efficiency and emission reductions Large fuel cell units (gt300 kW) may be appropriate for applications

that serve large electric and thermal loads Smaller fuel cell units (lt 300 kW) may provide back-up power

for telecommunication sites restaurantsfast food outlets and smaller sized public facilities at this time

As shown in Table 5 the analysis provided here estimates that there are approximately 266 potential

locations which may be favorable candidates for the application of a fuel cell to provide heat and power

Assuming the demand for electricity was uniform throughout the year approximately 150 to 192 fuel cell

units with a capacity of 300 ndash 400 kW could be deployed for a total fuel cell capacity of 58 to 77 MWs

If opportunities for fuel cell use in Maine identified in this report are met with 300 kW units a minimum

of 473040 MWh electric and 127 million MMBTUs (equivalent to 373404 MWh) of thermal energy

would be produced which could reduce CO2 emissions by at least 90824 tons per year 100

Maine 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

bull Replacement of a gasoline-fueled passenger vehicle with FCEVs could result in annual CO2

emission reductions (per vehicle) of approximately 10170 pounds annual energy savings of 230

gallons of gasoline and annual fuel cost savings of $885

bull Replacement of a gasoline-fueled light duty truck with FCEVs could result in annual CO2

emission reductions (per light duty truck) of approximately 15770 pounds annual energy savings

of 485 gallons of gasoline and annual fuel cost savings of $1866

bull Replacement of a diesel-fueled transit bus with a fuel cell powered bus could result in annual CO2

emission reductions (per bus) of approximately 182984 pounds annual energy savings of 4390

gallons of fuel and annual fuel cost savings of $17560

Hydrogen and fuel cell technology also provides significant opportunities for job creation andor

economic development Realizing over $2 million in revenue and investment in 2010 the hydrogen and

fuel cell industry in Maine is estimated to have contributed approximately $113000 in state and local tax

revenue and over $29 million in gross state product Currently there are at least 30 Maine companies

that are part of the growing hydrogen and fuel cell industry supply chain in the Northeast region If

neweremerging hydrogen and fuel cell technology were to gain momentum the number of companies

and employment for the industry could grow substantially

99 Airport facilities with 2500+ annual Enplanement Counts andor AASF 100

If opportunities for fuel cell use in Maine identified in this report are met with 400 kW units a minimum of 665760 MWh

electric and 312 million MMBTUs (equivalent to 915127 MWh) of thermal energy would be produced which could reduce CO2

emissions by at least 127826 tons per year

of 473040 MWh electric and 127 million MMBTUs (equivalent to 373404 MWh) of thermal energy

would be produced which could reduce CO2 emissions by at least 90824 tons per year 100

Maine 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

bull Replacement of a gasoline-fueled passenger vehicle with FCEVs could result in annual CO2

emission reductions (per vehicle) of approximately 10170 pounds annual energy savings of 230

gallons of gasoline and annual fuel cost savings of $885

bull Replacement of a gasoline-fueled light duty truck with FCEVs could result in annual CO2

emission reductions (per light duty truck) of approximately 15770 pounds annual energy savings

of 485 gallons of gasoline and annual fuel cost savings of $1866

bull Replacement of a diesel-fueled transit bus with a fuel cell powered bus could result in annual CO2

emission reductions (per bus) of approximately 182984 pounds annual energy savings of 4390

gallons of fuel and annual fuel cost savings of $17560

Hydrogen and fuel cell technology also provides significant opportunities for job creation andor

economic development Realizing over $2 million in revenue and investment in 2010 the hydrogen and

fuel cell industry in Maine is estimated to have contributed approximately $113000 in state and local tax

revenue and over $29 million in gross state product Currently there are at least 30 Maine companies

that are part of the growing hydrogen and fuel cell industry supply chain in the Northeast region If

neweremerging hydrogen and fuel cell technology were to gain momentum the number of companies

and employment for the industry could grow substantially

If opportunities for fuel cell use in Maine identified in this report are met with 400 kW units a minimum of 665760 MWh

electric and 312 million MMBTUs (equivalent to 915127 MWh) of thermal energy would be produced which could reduce CO2

As shown in Table 5 the analysis provided here estimates that there are approximately 266 potential

locations which may be favorable candidates for the application of a fuel cell to provide heat and power

Assuming the demand for electricity was uniform throughout the year approximately 150 to 192 fuel cell

units with a capacity of 300 ndash 400 kW could be deployed for a total fuel cell capacity of 58 to 77 MWs

If opportunities for fuel cell use in Maine identified in this report are met with 300 kW units a minimum

of 473040 MWh electric and 127 million MMBTUs (equivalent to 373404 MWh) of thermal energy

would be produced which could reduce CO2 emissions by at least 90824 tons per year 100

Maine 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

bull Replacement of a gasoline-fueled light duty truck with FCEVs could result in annual CO2

emission reductions (per light duty truck) of approximately 15770 pounds annual energy savings

of 485 gallons of gasoline and annual fuel cost savings of $1866

emission reductions (per bus) of approximately 182984 pounds annual energy savings of 4390

gallons of fuel and annual fuel cost savings of $17560

Hydrogen and fuel cell technology also provides significant opportunities for job creation andor

economic development Realizing over $2 million in revenue and investment in 2010 the hydrogen and

fuel cell industry in Maine is estimated to have contributed approximately $113000 in state and local tax

needsdemand could be met by other technologiessources ndash

Canadian hydro amp nuclear wind geothermal direct biomass

and power-storage alternatives ndash batteries solid state ammonia

etc

Transportation Power ndash The regionrsquos favorable market

characteristics and needs could be met by other electric

vehicles particularly in the absence of a hydrogen

infrastructure

Economic Development Factors ndash competition from more fully-

equipped statesregions wind and other renewables grab Maine

energy industry momentum lack of funding to sustain

University of MErsquos momentum in storage and fuel cell

technologies related to biomass and wind hesitation of state

government to support alternative energy incentives
