fuel cell testbedding projects in Singapore

Fuel cell vehicle testbedding project
The fuel cell vehicle demonstration project from DaimlerChrysler was launched in 2001, in conjunction with the installation of hydrogen refueling stations by BP. The vehicles finally arrived in May 04 and the lessees of the vehicles were also announced: BP, Conrad Centennial Singapore, DaimlerChrysler, Michelin and NEA. The BP station will be the first refueling station in Asia co-located with an existing petrol station.

Five cities will be involved in this project, namely Berlin, Los Angeles, San Francisco, Singapore and Tokyo.

Multi-storey carpark lighting project
Development Resource Pte Ltd (DRPL) is working with IdaTech, a PEMFC supplier from the US, to conduct field-testing of a 5 kW fuel cell power system. It will provide electricity for the lighting at a multi-storey carpark in Pasir Ris. The system will run on hydrogen reformed from compressed natural gas.

Fuel cell personal transporter project
Ngee Ann Polytechnic and GasHub Power Pte Ltd have collaborated to construct a personal transporter, powered by a fuel cell that emits only water. The FOX is a three-wheeled transporter and was designed by Ngee Ann students. Its top speed can reach 15 km per hour, for up to two-and-a-half hours at a time.
