Hydrogen + Fuel Cells NORTH AMERICA - Booth #7
For 25 years we have been the organizer of the Group Exhibit Hydrogen + Fuel Cells + Batteries at HANNOVER MESSE. In April 2018 over 160 exhibitors from 20 countries joined Europe’s largest trade fair in these technologies.
In 2017 we expanded our established platform to the USA. For the first time Hydrogen + Fuel Cells NORTH AMERICA was part of Solar Power International. At our second show at SPI 2018 in Anaheim, CA we expect to double the show space and expand to 60 exhibitors and partners.
Next events:
H2+FC NORTH AMERICA at Solar Power International 2018, September 24-27 in Anaheim
Group Exhibit H2+FC+BAT at HANNOVER MESSE 2019, April 01-05, in Hanover
Iwatani Corporation - Booth #4
http://www.iwatani.co.jp/eng/index.html
Iwatani Corporation has been engaged in the hydrogen business for over 70 years since the company started dealing with hydrogen for the first time in Japan in 1941, and at present we hold a share of 70% of the Japanese hydrogen market. Starting with the launch of the first commercial hydrogen station in Japan in 2014, we are now operating hydrogen stations at 23 locations.
Furthermore, keeping an eye on massive demand for hydrogen power generation, we have been conducting the verification project named “HYSTRA”（CO2-free Hydrogen Energy Supply-chain Technology Research Association）together with Kawasaki, J-POWER and Shell Japan aiming at mass-production, transport and storage of liquid hydrogen made from Australian brown coal. Continuing to take full advantage of our many years of know-hows, we will devote ourselves to developing CO2-free hydrogen supply chain and pursue the realization of a hydrogen energy society.
PDC Machines - Booth #9
PDC Machines, the world's leading compression technology provider, will be exhibiting its technology along with the winning technology of the Department of Energy’s Fuel Cell Technology Office H2 Refuel H-Prize competition Simplefuel, an all inclusive refueling solution that requires only water and power. As winners of the contest, along with IVYS Energy Solutions and Mcphy NA, we are proud to show off the technology and its impact on jobs creation and American based manufacturing. PDC supplies compression equipment worldwide, and has the most installed based of any supplier worldwide.
