Fuel Cells in Vehicles
The movement toward a Hydrogen Age is gaining traction and Bing Energy is positioning itself to become a key supplier to the automobile industry. As the evolution away from the internal combustion engine powered solely by petroleum to the more efficient drivetrains that will power the cars of tomorrow.
In the United States, there are a number of incentive and pilot programs in place for the development of hydrogen fuel cell transportation options. Important infrastructure with hydrogen fueling stations is being put into place.
In other parts of the world, favorable steps have been taken to promote hydrogen fuel cells. In China, the world’s largest automobile market, the government has issued its plan to transition to the fuel cell vehicle and is currently offering impressive incentives for fuel cell vehicles as high as $30,000 USD per auto and nearly $100,000 USD per bus. The Chinese also are building the hydrogen infrastructure in urban areas.
Bing Energy is positioned to become an important supplier, providing key components as the transportation market undergoes revolutionary change.
Energy Delivery
Producing a lower cost fuel cell than currently exists on the market will move us toward the affordable-energy storage and production processes that are needed to make full use of hydrogen energy sources.
Distributed energy generation is now possible and more efficient than the power plant grid system of the 1900s. Bing Energy is building energy servers that will be fueled by hydrogen to generate power. This state-of-the-art approach will lead to lower cost energy production with greater efficiency and fewer net emissions;– all while bringing increased stability to the electric grid. The Bing Energy Servers can be placed at points of consumption within the electric grid to smooth peak demand and improve system reliability.
As the world moves to reduce and eventually replace fossil fuel-based sources of electric power generation, Bing Energy’s hydrogen fuel cells have an advantage over other technologies like solar and wind, because they represent the only technology that can service the market in its entirety on a 24/7 basis.
