Solar Stock XsunX, Inc. (OTCQB: XSNX) Update: 750 kW in Proposals Going Out - More Projects in Review

New York, NY, Point Roberts, WA - September 16, 2013 (Investorideas.com renewable energy newswire) Investorideas.com, an investor research portal specializing in investing ideas in leading sectors including renewable energy stocks, issues a corporate and industry update for solar stock, XsunX, Inc. (OTCQB: XSNX), entitled 750 kW in Proposals Going Out - More Projects in Review.

Tom M. Djokovich, CEO of XsunX, Inc. (OTCQB: XSNX) said in the corporate/ industry update:”
At the start of the month, we outlined how September's marketing and sales efforts would focus on supporting and meeting with prospective customers for our CIGS manufacturing technology, and that we would be responding to solar power system development quote requests for commercial and utility scale projects.”
Continued...
So far, September has been busy in a very good way. Progress filling our solar power system development sales pipeline is picking up steam very nicely with three projects totaling nearly 750 kW (about ¾ of a megawatt) for commercial and industrial projects now in the proposal stage - exciting stuff.
There are more projects pending that we have been asked to bid on as they become ready for the engineering, systems procurement, and the construction phase. Additionally, in an effort to try to develop as much sales opportunity as possible, we are not just waiting on projects to come our way, but have also begun reaching out to land owners we know to offer free solar development feasibility assessments of properties they hold.
On the CIGS manufacturing equipment side of operations, we have an on-site meeting with an African based client scheduled for this week, and last Thursday we delivered to a Caribbean based client an extensive package of specifications and financial benefit outlines they requested to allow them to better qualify for government support in their region.
Overall, our expansion into solar project construction and development has started with strong momentum and we are excited about the opportunity to grow sales and operations through these new efforts. With USA solar installation up over 30% in the first quarter and increasing another 15% in the second quarter, our focus is to use the increase in awareness of solar's affordability to load the sales pipeline with commercial, industrial, and utility scale projects.

The Growing Portable Power Generation Market: From Diesel to Natural Gas, Fuel Cells to Solar, the Global Demand is on the Rise

New York, NY - September 11, 2013 (Investorideas.com renewable energy stocks newswire) Investorideas.com, an investor research portal specializing in sector research for independent investors, including renewable energy stocks issues a sector snapshot for portable power generation stocks and the growing global market opportunity.

Diesel and gas power generators (Gensets) represent a bullish growing global industry according to research firm GlobalData, predicting the market will nearly double from $12 billion in 2011 to some $22.3 billion by 2020. GlobalData also says growth is being driven by an increasing need for safe and reliable off-grid power in numerous end markets.
Key growth areas to watch are India and China, with India growing from $1.2 billion to $2.54 billion by 2020 and China growing from $2.4 billion to nearly $5.5 billion by 2020.
According to an article in Forbes in late August following the report, "The projected market growth will likely benefit major industrial equipment vendors like Caterpillar (NYSE:CAT ) and Cummins (NYSE:CMI ) with a strong position in the distributed power space. But smaller companies like Scotland’s Aggreko with experience working in developing countries will also benefit.”
Briggs & Stratton Corporation (NYSE: BGG), with its wholly owned subsidiary that is North America's number one marketer of portable generators is also poised to benefit in the industry growth. The Company just released a news and media alert September 3rd entitled, "Portable, Standby Generators Play Powerful Role in National Preparedness Month."
As the market grows, energy efficiency and the role of renewable energy in the mix will also be key. From solar to fuel cells, new technology that represents a greener alternative will take a leading role.
Pike Research says that the current period of product development will lead to commercialization for portable fuel cells at an increasingly larger scale beginning in the 2015 timeframe.
A smaller player in the sector, Powerdyne International Inc. (OTCBB:PWDY) is aiming to meet greener standards while still being able to utilize traditional fuels. The company recently announced that it is expanding its reach in the renewable energy market through strategic relationships such as the recently formed agreement with Turning Mill Energy, of Sandwich, Massachusetts, a solar and wind company’.
The Powerdyne Genset uses a completely different type of engine that is small, powerful, light weight, portable, air cooled, runs on almost any gaseous fuel, environmentally green, and is easily maintained and serviced.
Dale Euga, President of Powerdyne International, Inc., stated, "Our companies will work together to offer large electrical users independent power generation, on-site. This lowers the user's cost of electricity without incurring expensive capital equipment costs."
Mr. Euga noted that, "The need for distributed electricity, using integrated and balanced technologies, is the key to continuing worldwide commercial growth."

Solar Stock XsunX, Inc. (OTCQB: XSNX) Industry Update: U.S. Market Installs 723 Megawatts in Q1 2013; Grows 33% Over Last Year

New York, NY, Point Roberts, WA - September 4, 2013 (Investorideas.com renewable energy newswire) Investorideas.com, an investor research portal specializing in investing ideas in leading sectors including renewable energy stocks, issues a corporate and industry update for solar stock, XsunX, Inc. (OTCQB: XSNX), entitled U.S. Market Installs 723 Megawatts in Q1 2013; Grows 33% Over Last Year.

Tom M. Djokovich, CEO of XsunX, Inc. (OTCQB: XSNX) said in the corporate/ industry update:
"As the headline above from a report offered by the Solar Energy Industries Association (SEIA) outlines, the solar industry is making tremendous and significant progress not just as a viable power production source, but as a sales and revenue source as well."
Continued…
For XsunX, this type of growth domestically, in addition to growth occurring internationally, provides an immense opportunity for the Company to diversify and leverage its knowledge and extensive contact base in the PV industry.
Over the past several newsletters, we have been outlining how XsunX is expanding our marketing and sales efforts to add solar business solutions to our service offerings. With these additions, we are working to take advantage of new sales and revenue generating opportunities.
As we move into September, our sales efforts will be multi-pronged. We will be working and meeting with prospective customers for our CIGSolar® manufacturing technology, and responding to quote requests for commercial and utility scale projects.
We believe that this expansion will increase exposure of our CIGSolar® and technology offerings, improve our opportunities to generate revenues in the near term, and by generating revenues, may reduce or eliminate dependency on equity capital to fund operations - a positive for all shareholders.
For more information on what we are doing, you can view a recent interview from last Friday on MoneyTV with our CEO, Tom Djokovich here.
In regards to updating the web site: our web designer is back from vacation and we are making good progress with the updates and plan to launch in the near future.

Tesla Stocks Rocket after Earnings Exceed Expectation

September 3, 2013 (www.investorideas.com newswire) Elon Musk's Tesla Motors gave the markets a real surprise on Wednesday, after the electric car manufacturer reported revenue figures well ahead of forecasts.

After-hours trading saw shares rise by 14 percent, up to more than $153. Year to date, this is an increase of 300 percent, disappointing the significant proportion of investors shorting the stock.
Income was reported at $26.3 million, resulting in a loss of $18.9 million. This is much better than expectations, despite being a loss. Last quarter was in fact the first time that Tesla made a profit, despite widespread belief that the project would never be profitable. This time last year, the company posted a loss of $93.2 million.
It appears as though Musk's plans are on course as they should be, with revenue at a beyond expected $401.5 million. A loss of 19 cents per share had also been predicted, but Tesla managed to post earnings of 20 cents per share. Sales units are also positive; 5,000 cars were expected, but 5,150 were sold.
It's believed that the company is likely to continue posting losses until it can significantly increase the number of cars it sells, which is unlikely to happen until mass market vehicles can be produced, though they are in the pipeline. There are plans underway to improve the issue of range, which is a problem for most all-electric vehicles, by introducing fast charging and battery swap facilities across the network. It's hoped that this will improve sales.
Despite the major contingent of investors waiting for Tesla to fail, the brand's reputation appears to be going from strength to strength among those who are environmentally conscious, and can afford the $70k minimum price tag. It's not just the green automotive industry that's seeing gains among consumers either; things like solar panelling and carbon offsets are growing in popularity. Read some of the Mark Group testimonials to see what people are saying about solar PV installations, often considered investments themselves.
Those who are looking to speculate on Tesla's fortunes may wish to buy or sell shares directly, but there are numerous ETFs and indexes that incorporate the company, and which may be a better choice for profiting from the industry as a whole, including Market Vectors Global Alternative ETF (GEX) and First Trust NASDAQ Clean Edge Green Energy Index Fund (QCLN).

Solar Stock XsunX, Inc. (OTCQB: XSNX) Industry Update: A Solar System Is Installed in the US Every 4 Minutes

New York, NY, Point Roberts, WA - August 23, 2013 (Investorideas.com renewable energy newswire) Investorideas.com, an investor research portal specializing in investing ideas in leading sectors including renewable energy stocks, issues a corporate and industry update for solar stock, XsunX, Inc. (OTCQB: XSNX), entitled A Solar System Is Installed in the US Every 4 Minutes.

Tom M. Djokovich, CEO of XsunX, Inc. (OTCQB: XSNX) said in the corporate/ industry update: "The headline above was something we wanted to share with investors this week."
Continued...
"This headline was published Tuesday by Greentech Media Research and outlines some incredible statistics showing solar installations rapidly increasing from installing one system about every 80 minutes back in 2006 to one every 4 ½ minutes today, with expectations being that by 2016, there will be one installed about every minute and a half. No matter how you look at it, this is impressive growth and helps strengthen the entire PV industry here in the USA.
However, the speculation for even greater opportunity did not stop there this week. During the National Clean Energy Summit, sponsored by Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, industry professionals called for a Western States-Wide increase in the use of renewables setting 51% as a minimum goal for energy production utilizing renewable sources, up from a goal of about 30% today. There is a lot of work that has to be done by the industry to achieve that goal, but as one speaker noted, "cost is no longer a primary objection to renewables."
Two of our most active customers are located in regions where we are seeing similar growth opportunities. In the Middle East and North Africa (MENA) regions, there are efforts by governments to amend their regulatory frameworks and embark on privatization of the energy networks.
What is driving these policy change efforts? In order to prepare for the future, developing regions require large amounts of external funding to ensure that their respective energy industries are capable of resonding to an estimated 6.4% compounded annual growth in power demand. By privatizing, they create profitable opportunities for investors, which is to the advantage of our customers who have been working with their governments to capitalize on these changes and attract new investments.
So how does this good industry news relate to XsunX? We recently announced that XsunX was expanding operations to include additional services that include everything from PV factory planning and start-up requirements to solar power field project planning and installations. With these additional capabilities, we are responding to changes in the market and addressing the requirements from our prospective customers.
While the aforementioned PV growth opinions and statistics are not set in stone (and there are plenty more incredible growth projections being published lately), the industry appears to be hitting the re-set button as it climbs out of the damage caused by the past several years of oversupply and instability. Here at XsunX, we are focused on adapting to evolving customer needs and doing what is necessary to profit from these new opportunities."

Solar Stock XsunX, Inc. (OTCQB: XSNX) Update: New Marketing Efforts Showing Positive Early Results

New York, NY, Point Roberts, WA - August 20, 2013 (Investorideas.com renewable energy newswire) Investorideas.com, an investor research portal specializing in investing ideas in leading sectors including renewable energy stocks, issues a corporate and shareholder update for solar stock, XsunX, Inc. (OTCQB: XSNX), entitled "New Marketing Efforts Showing Positive Early Results ".

Tom M. Djokovich, CEO of XsunX, Inc. (OTCQB: XSNX), a company working to commercialize a new manufacturing process to produce low cost, high efficiency thin-film Copper Indium Gallium (di) Selenide (CIGS) thin film solar cells, said to shareholders on August 15 th :
"In last week's update, we outlined how XsunX is expanding our marketing and sales efforts by adding solar business solutions to our service offerings. The goal is to adapt to changing market conditions and make it easier for customers to say "yes".
The good news is that our target audience understood the message and we have already received inquiries. We have begun discussions with customers responding to our expanded service offerings. Although this is just the beginning, we are off to a good start and we plan to keep the focus on these emerging opportunities. The goal is to increase the number of opportunities in our sales pipeline and to start closing deals as soon as possible.
So "why are we expanding our marketing vision?" Because the solar market was turned on its head over the last few years and the next wave of solar investors are both customers and investors in solar opportunities who are looking for more than just a single piece of a technology puzzle. Many of the customers we have spoken to have new business models and they are looking to fill needs in their markets pragmatically.
The purpose of our solar service additions is to adapt to customers' needs, make it easier for them to do business with us, and to offer a broader range of services and products attractive to new customers with the goal of making sales.
So far, early results are very positive and we are working on more ways to broaden our revenue possibilities.”

Renewable Energy Stock Q&A Interview with CEO and President of Powerdyne International, Inc. (OTCBB: PWDY)

New York, NY - August 19, 2013 (Investorideas.com renewable energy stocks newswire) Investorideas.com, an investor research portal specializing in sector research for independent investors, including renewable energy stocks issues an exclusive Q&A with the CEO and President of Powerdyne International, Inc. (OTCBB: PWDY), a company that manufactures portable power generation equipment . Mr. Dale P. Euga discusses the company’s current status and the next steps for brining the PDIGenset to the portable energy generation market.

Q: Investorideas.com
For investors unfamiliar with your company and technology can you give us a brief history of PDIGenset?
A: Mr. Dale P. Euga, CEO and President
The concept began in 2000 with the simple idea of attaching an airplane engine to a generator. The concept was sound. However the application required very expensive aviation fuel. The goal was to modify the engine to efficiently run on a gaseous fuel like propane or natural gas and produce enough power to turn a generator. After five years of engineering research, we finally developed a fuel delivery system that achieved that goal. The result was the PDIGenset. A compact, environmentally friendly, fuel efficient, easily serviced, air cooled generator. The entire unit is completely contained inside a standard shipping container and can be easily transported anywhere in the world
Q: Investorideas.com
Is the technology commercial and ready for sales and installations?
A: Mr. Dale P. Euga, CEO and President
Yes. Since June of 2012, the company has had a 1 Megawatt factory tested unit in the shop which serves as a research and development tool for the company. It also serves as a demonstration unit to interested customers.
The Company is positioned to immediately start construction on receipt of an order for the PDIGenset. We can deliver multiple units in less than six months. As the company gears up, delivery time is expected to be reduced to three months or less
Q: Investorideas.com Can you name some of your competitors and what makes your portable power generation technology competitive and unique in the marketplace?
A: Mr. Dale P. Euga, CEO and President
Caterpillar, Detroit Diesel, Cummins, Kohler, and Jenbacher are manufacturers of these generator sets. Typically, their units are very large, heavy, maintenance intensive, and expensive to operate. These units weigh around 90,000 pounds, are 18-24 feet long, 8 feet high and 8 feet wide. Most of these engines have been derived from diesel technology and have been adapted from diesel to run on natural gas. Most importantly, these units are not portable and are rarely used for primary power.
In contrast, the PDIGenset weighs only 14,000 pounds. It is 6 feet in diameter and 12 feet long. The unit is inserted into a standard 40 foot long steel shipping container. Excess space inside the container is used for lubricant containers and for the heat exchanger’s production of hot water.
A special performance characteristic of the PDIGenset is that it can perform very efficiently in extreme cold temperatures and at high altitudes. Whereas other technologies, especially diesel, are de-rated starting at altitudes over 4,000 feet. Most mining applications in South America are above 5,000 feet and require multiple engines to drive one generator. A single PDIGenset can replace these inefficient power generator assemblies and produce power 24/7.
Our competitive edge occupies two domains. First, we generate primary electric power at a very inexpensive rate. This enables us to sell electricity to the customer at a far lower rate per kilowatt hour. Second, there is very little capital outlay from the client because they do not buy the equipment. The client just pays for the electricity.
Q: Investorideas.com
Who are your target customers for this portable power generation technology; for example, defense or military?
A: Mr. Dale P. Euga, CEO and President
Our technology is best applied to commercial users, mines, manufacturers and medical centers that have a minimum electrical base load of 1MW or greater. Hospitals, large shopping centers, heavy manufacturers, and transportation systems are ideal clients. The electricity produced by the PDIGenset is consumed in parallel with the main electrical source, usually the grid, and is used to augment total consumption. In this capacity, the consumer could save 20%-50% on an annual electrical bill depending on location.
A client could go completely off the grid by using a PDIGenset as a dedicated independent primary power station. The client could also remain hooked up to the grid as a back-up to the power station. Direct financial benefit for the client is the reduced cost of electricity and no responsibility for maintenance.
Portability would be a key factor for military applications. The unit’s relative light weight, plus the fact that the entire system is contained inside a shipping container makes military applications a major market focus. Multiple PDIGensets can be loaded inside a military transport and quickly flown to any location around the world. Unlike any other genset of this capacity, it can be rigged to be parachute dropped to remote locations such as the jungle or the middle of the desert. Several units can be easily ganged together to provide power for a remote forward operations base.  
Q: Investorideas.com
What is the roll- out plan forPDIGenset and what can investors expect to see next in terms of market entry?
A: Mr. Dale P. Euga, CEO and President
We are engaged in development talks with a large hospital group, local manufacturing companies, a pharmaceutical company, the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico, the nation of the Dominican Republic, and have just started exploratory talks with the Aruba Power Authority.
In the next 12 to 18 months the company expects to manufacture and deploy the first 10 units, In addition, the Company has been aggressively marketing its units to many prospective businesses, State, and local municipalities, all with very positive feedback and interest. The Company projects that these first installations will generate new orders for 20 to upwards of 50 units that can be phased in over the following two production years.

Solar Industry to grow to $155 billion in 2018; U.S. Photovoltaic Manufacturing Consortium Aims to help make CIGS thin films a significant part of that solar success

Point Roberts, WA - July 25, 2013 (Investorideas.com renewable energy stocks newswire) Investorideas.com, an investor research portal specializing in investing ideas in leading sectors including renewable energy stocks, reports on the future of the solar sector and in particular, CIGS solar and the related solar stocks.

Lux Research says the solar photovoltaic (PV) market is poised to rise from the ashes of its 2011 crisis to grow to $155 billion in 2018, as market forces engineer a turnaround to a healthy 10.5% compound annual growth rate (CAGR.
They went on to say, "In the most likely scenario, the PV market will grow at a modest clip to 35 GW in 2013 before rapidly ramping up to 61.7 GW in 2018."
The U.S. Photovoltaic Manufacturing Consortium (PVMC) recently said in a press release, "Photovoltaics and especially thin-film PV are again at a tipping point," said Larry Kazmerski, co-chair of the U.S. CIGS PV Roadmap. "We want PV to be a substantial part of the world's energy portfolio and our efforts with this roadmap are aimed to help make CIGS thin films a significant part of that solar success."
CIGS solar stocks to watch include XsunX , Inc. (OTCQB: XSNX) , Ascent Solar Technologies, Inc. (NASDAQ:ASTI), Solar Frontier subsidiary of Showa Shell Sekiyu K.K. (TYO: 5002) and TSMC Solar, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing, Inc. (NYSE:TSM).
XsunX , Inc. (OTCQB: XSNX) closed up over 21% on just over 4 Million shares as of the close on Wednesday, gaining some of the ground it had lost in recent sessions. XsunX says its CIGSolar technology focuses on the mass production of thin-film CIGS solar cells utilizing a proprietary multi-area thermal deposition process to minimize processing defects to create highly uniform CIGS films. The manufacturing systems are modular and represent a new breed of CIGS manufacturing technology that can be deployed in various production configurations to produce CIGSolar cells. The potential impact and opportunity is to offer commercially viable replacements to existing incumbent poly-crystalline silicon technology, lowering the overall cost of PV energy.
Investorideas.com Newswire TSMC Solar said this week that its new target for CIGS module conversion efficiency is now set for 17 percent and utility expansion of 50 percent by 2014. In June the company reported confirmation by TUV SUD that its latest commercial-sized (1.09 m2) CIGS champion module has achieved 15.7% module total area efficiency. The new champion module improves on TSMC Solar's previous 15.1% world record set in January this year. The module was produced using the current manufacturing equipment and materials at the company's manufacturing facility in Taichung, Taiwan. The stock moved up on the day of the new targets announced.
Ascent Solar Technologies, Inc. (NASDAQ:ASTI) said earlier this week it will debut the newest additions to its EnerPlex KickrTM Series as well as introduce an exciting new line of EnerPlexTM products to be showcased at the Outdoor Retailer Summer show in Salt Lake City July 31st through August 3rd. Small enough to be attached to a belt loop yet powerful enough to make sure devices always have a charge, the Kickr line of personal solar chargers is uniquely enabled by the rugged, lightweight and flexible form factor of Ascent's CIGS solar cells.
The stock has made some big moves just over the last month and closed up marginally again on the close of Wednesday's session.
Investorideas.com Newswire Among Lux Research findings:
U.S., China, Japan, and India will take over where Germany and Italy left off. With an 18% CAGR to 10.8 GW of installations in 2018, the United States will emerge the world's second-largest market. But China will leapfrog it, growing over 15% annually to 12.4 GW in 2018.
Utility-scale installations to grow the fastest; commercial the largest. Utility-scale solar, the smallest segment in 2012 at 8.6 GW, will grow the fastest to 19.9 GW in 2018 as developing markets turn to PV. Globally, commercial applications reign supreme as markets like the U.S. and Japan move to large rooftop installations.
Opportunities abound for cheap IP. Struggling start-ups present opportunities to acquire intellectual property at record low prices. A case in point: Hanergy acquired Miasolé - which in 2012 announced the leading CIGS module efficiency at 15.5% - for only $30 million after investors had pumped $500 million into the firm.

Bullish Future for Solar says IEA; Solar Stocks to Watch: LDK, XSNX, TSL, YGE

New York, NY - July 15, 2013 (Investorideas.com renewable energy stocks newswire) Investorideas.com, a research portal specializing in investing ideas for independent investors, issues a trading alert for solar stocks following a bullish trading session for the sector and a recent report from the IEA that shows the rapid global advancement of renewable energy as a cost competitive choice.

In an overall strong day in the market, solar stocks closed up significantly in Monday’s trading session, some with double digit gains. Chinese solar stocks saw some of the biggest gains following headlines that China State Council said it has plans to build 35 GW of solar by 2015.
Factoring into investor sentiment, the International Energy Agency (IEA) reported in late June in its second annual Medium-Term Renewable Energy Market Report (MTRMR), that despite a difficult economic context, renewable power is expected to increase by 40% in the next five years. Renewables are now the fastest-growing power generation sector and will make up almost a quarter of the global power mix by 2018, up from an estimated 20% in 2011. The share of non-hydro sources such as wind, solar, bioenergy and geothermal in total power generation will double, reaching 8% by 2018, up from 4% in 2011 and just 2% in 2006.
According to the report," renewables are becoming cost-competitive in a wider set of circumstances. For example, wind competes well with new fossil-fuel power plants in several markets, including Brazil, Turkey and New Zealand. Solar is attractive in markets with high peak prices for electricity, for instance, those resulting from oil-fired generation. Decentralised solar photovoltaic generation costs can be lower than retail electricity prices in a number of countries."
The report also noted in relation to China solar stocks, "Led by China, non-OECD countries are expected to account for two-thirds of the global increase in renewable power generation between now and 2018. Such rapid deployment is expected to more than compensate for slower growth and smooth out volatility in other areas, notably Europe and the US.”
LDK Solar Co., Ltd. (NYSE LDK) closed at $1.75, up $ 0.31 or 21.53% on over 6 Million shares. The stock had a day high of $1.77.
Investorideas.com Newswire XSUNX Inc. (OTCBB: XSNX) closed at .011 on over 500,000 shares The CA based Company is a developer of CIGSolar®, a patent-pending technology for the mass production of CIGS solar cells that offers a capital-efficient, low-cost alternative to the use of silicon solar cells.
Investorideas.com Newswire Trina Solar Limited (NYSE: TSL) ended the day at $7.74, gaining 0.87 or 12.66%.
Investorideas.com Newswire Yingli Green Energy Holding Co. Ltd. (NYSE:YGE) closed at $4.16, spiking 0.42 or 11.23% and continued gains in after hours trading.
Investorideas.com Newswire Ascent Solar Technologies, Inc. (NASDAQ: ASTI) had notable gains, closing at $1.12, up 0.09 or 8.74%
First Solar, Inc. (NasdaqGS: FSLR) closed at $50.27, moving up 2.62 a share or 5.50%, with a high of $51.

Hydrogen and Fuel Cells: "An Industry on the Move" in the Clean Energy Game

Investorideas.com Newswire - Hydrogen and Fuel Cells: "An Industry on the Move" in the Clean Energy Game

Snapshot of Hydrogenics (TSX: HYG), Ballard (NASDAQ:BLDP)

New York, NY , Point Roberts WA– Tuesday July 9th, 2013 – (www.investorideas.com newswire,) Taylor Van Zant of Investorideas.com., an investor research portal specializing in sector research for independent investors, reports on the Hydrogen and Fuel Cell market and the recent Hydrogen + Fuel Cell C Conference (HFC 2013 ) (http://www.hfc2013.com/), held in Vancouver June 16th – 19th, 2013.

Clean, renewable energy continues to be a growing industry as more and more countries across the globe are forced, or choose, to implement more environmentally conscious energy plans. In this renewable energy emergence market Hydrogen and Fuel cell technology is fast becoming a rising star.



This year, the sixth Hydrogen + Fuel Cell Conference took place at the Vancouver Convention Center, hosting some of the leading developers and innovation in the Hydrogen and Fuel cell industry as well as some high profile public companies showcasing their latest developments.



The British Columbia Ministry of Tourism, Trade and Investment is promoting, and with good reason, the Province to investors as the home to the world’s third-largest clean technology cluster. Dozens of fuel cell companies and research organizations are located in B.C such as the National Research Council Institute for Fuel Cell Innovation (NRC-IFCI); the Canadian Hydrogen and Fuel Cell Association; the Automotive Fuel Cell Cooperation; UBC’s Clean Energy Research Centre; NuCellSys; Powertech Labs; and Westport Innovations.

With roughly 70 per cent of Canada’s fuel cell sector centered in or around Metro Vancouver, the city made a great stage for the HFC conference and researchers and industry leaders from around the world were happy to be a part of such a large scale promotion of this lesser known industry.

Fuel Cell technology implementation has faced the obstacles of the recession in the last few years and the obvious troubles related to cost efficiency, but the industry is now making a strong recovery and proving to be beneficial to other sectors of the green energy industry.
A little about Hydrogen and Fuel Cells:



There are a variety of benefits to using fuel cells, and especially Hydrogen based ones, as fuel cells have a higher efficiency than diesel or gas engines and most fuel cells operate silently, compared to internal combustion engines. This makes them ideal for use within buildings such as hospitals or on military compounds across the globe. Fuel cells can eliminate pollution caused by burning fossil fuels; for hydrogen fuelled fuel cells, the only by-product at point of use is water. If the hydrogen comes from the electrolysis of water driven by renewable energy, then using fuel cells eliminates greenhouse gases over the whole cycle. Fuel cells do not need conventional fuels such as oil or gas and can therefore reduce economic dependence on oil producing countries, creating greater energy security for the user nation. Since hydrogen can be produced anywhere where there is water and a source of power, generation of fuel can be distributed and does not have to be grid-dependent. The use of stationary fuel cells to generate power at the point of use allows for a decentralized power grid that is potentially more stable. Another military feature of some low temperature fuel cells (PEMFC, DMFC) is there low heat transmission which makes them ideal for covert military applications. Higher temperature fuel cells produce high-grade process heat along with electricity and are well suited to cogeneration applications (such as combined heat and power for residential use). Operating times are much longer than with batteries, since doubling the operating time needs only doubling the amount of fuel and not the doubling of the capacity of the unit itself. Unlike batteries, fuel cells have no "memory effect" when they are getting refueled. The maintenance of fuel cells is also much simpler than other engines or batteries since there are fewer moving parts in the system.



As this conference in Vancouver demonstrated through a variety of well informed panels with specialists and company heads, there are no shortage of benefits to using fuel cells as a source of clean renewable energy, but the true purpose of the conference was to showcase the momentum of the industry. This industry has recovered greatly from its fall of the past few years and is showing forward momentum with an almost limitless amount of possibilities.



Some of the industry leaders pushing this charge, as well as helping with sponsoring and supporting the HFC in Vancouver are below:





Hydrogenics (TSX: HYG) trading at $15.80 up $1.30 on a volume of 7,036 shares is one of the top companies to watch in this growing sector.

Hydrogenics Corporation is a leading developer and manufacturer of hydrogen generation and hydrogen-based power modules and received the "Innovator of the Year" award from the Canadian Hydrogen and Fuel Cell Association ("CHFCA") at the HFC conference. This CHFCA accolade recognizes an organization that exemplifies a long-term commitment to advancing the status of hydrogen and fuel cells in Canada.

"The Hydrogenics team is extremely honored to be recognized by our industry peers in this manner," said Daryl Wilson, President & CEO of Hydrogenics. "Meeting together in Vancouver, we discussed the increasing interest in hydrogen as a solution for energy storage and power generation across the globe. Clearly there is momentum here that was not the case just a few years ago, and we are proud to be positioned as a leading player in the space. For Canada and the world, Hydrogenics is pleased to be advancing the case for using hydrogen as a clean, renewable solution for humanity's ever-expanding energy demand."

About Hydrogenics

Hydrogenics Corporation is a world leader in engineering and building the technologies required to enable the acceleration of a global power shift. Headquartered in Mississauga, Ontario, Hydrogenics provides hydrogen generation, energy storage and hydrogen power modules to its customers and partners around the world. Hydrogenics has manufacturing sites in Germany, Belgium and Canada and service centers in Russia, China, India, Europe, the US and Canada.







Ballard (NASDAQ:BLDP) trading at $1.86 rising $0.01 or 0.54% on a volume of 242,621 shares, was another main presenter and rising star of the conference with the release of their new ElectraGen-ME backup power system.





“This new product will strengthen the value proposition for customers, with a higher reliability, lower cost solution,” said Tony Cochrane, Ballard’s Director of Product Management for Telecom Backup Power, in a press release.



The ElectraGen platform, a small-scale PEM fuel cell with power output of either 2.5 or 5 kilowatts, appears to be a repackaged version of Idatech’s methanol-based PEM fuel cell product, which were also designed to provide backup power for telecom sites. Ballard acquired the Portland, OR-based Idatech last year.



Like Idatech, Ballard’s ElectraGen platform is designed to provide backup power for regular, even daily, power outages in markets with unreliable electricity grids and backup power for markets with grids vulnerable to extended power outages.



In particular, the ElectraGen system is better suited for “extended runtime” backup power needs as compared to batteries and diesel generators.









Ballard Power Systems good news kept coming as the company announced during the conference that, with a commitment of investment funding to support field trials, the South African Government has reinforced its support of growth in that country's fuel cell industry. Godfrey Oliphant, South Africa's Deputy Minister of Mineral Resources, made the announcement during his presentation to attendees of the "Hydrogen + Fuel Cells 2013 International Conference and Exhibition".



As part of its beneficiation strategy and the drive to improve on the uses of platinum, the South African Government, through its funding institutions, will partner with Ballard Power Systems and Anglo American Platinum with initial field trials of a new methanol-fuelled 'home generator' prototype product designed for use in off-grid residential applications. The product will encompass a complete fuel cell system, including fuel cell stack, methanol fuel processor and other components needed to meet the market requirements of rural electrification within a local mini-grid. The home generator product is going to be developed as a means of addressing the many African households in rural communities that are currently unable to economically access the grid as a result of distance or terrain.



Godfrey Oliphant, South Africa's Deputy Minister of Mineral Resources said, "We are very pleased to support the field trials of the home generator product being developed by Anglo American Platinum and Ballard Power Systems. Projects such as this are key in the development of new technologies which will stimulate the creation of jobs for the South African economy."

Platinum-based fuel cells provide a significant economic and environmental development opportunity for South Africa by facilitating the provision of clean, reliable and cost-effective power. South Africa holds 75% of the world's supply of platinum, a key component of Ballard's proton exchange membrane fuel cell products.

"Anglo's involvement in fuel cell market adoption extends beyond the implications for platinum utilization to the potential transformational impact fuel cells could have on the economy in South Africa ," said Andrew Hinkly, Anglo American Platinum's Executive Head of Marketing. "Fuel cell-based product deployments enable the platinum beneficiation strategy in Africa and create jobs in a key growth sector for the economy."

Karim Kassam, Vice President, Business & Corporate Development added, "We are excited by the progress under our joint development agreement with Anglo American Platinum. Work to date has included a market feasibility study, testing of a proof-of-concept system based on existing technology and initial work on a prototype system."

Systems deployed in initial field trials during 2014 will provide valuable data to support further development of the prototype systems. Upon successful completion of the product development phase, plans are to proceed to a pilot test of more than two hundred units in villages across rural South Africa in 2015.

Automotive Fuel Cell Cooperation, (“AFCC”) is a Burnaby, BC based joint venture of Daimler AG and Ford Motor Company developing fuel cell modules for automotive applications. This company featured many of their new fuel celled powered cars and transports at the conference, showing the reality aspect of this technology and how developed and fully functional said technology currently is.



The foundation of AFCC was preceded by the Fuel Cell Alliance which was formed in 1997 between Daimler, Ford and Ballard to jointly advance the commercialization of automotive fuel cell technology. Following a successful 10-year alliance, Ballard sold its automotive fuel cell assets to Daimler and Ford in 2008. These assets are now resident in AFCC.



Today, Daimler and Ford are the only two automotive companies jointly developing fuel cell technology thereby avoiding the duplication of R&D efforts. Together, they have more than 280 fuel cell vehicles on the road.



As the birthplace of the automotive fuel cell, British Columbia is the natural home for AFCC due to the large concentration of fuel cell experts in the area and the province’s commitment to fuel cell research and innovation.

On the public investor side of things Ford Motors Co., (NYSE:F) was trading at $16.81 rising $0.11 on a volume of 29,248,548 shares and Dailmer AG (OTC: DDAIF) traded up at $62.46 moving $0.80 on a volume of $23,611 shares.



It’s clear after attending this conference that this field of development and technology is fast becoming a star of the renewable energy world and those interested in any serious long term investment, both financially and environmentally, need to start taking a close watch on the industry….as well as possibly attend next years HFC conference in the beautiful city of Vancouver.
