Breaking news: Governor signs into law five bills that promote renewable energy in the state of Maryland.

   Maryland's Governor, Martin O’Malley, just signed into law a series of five bills that will promote green job creation in the state. As stated in the press release, "The key bills enacted include an acceleration of the State’s solar Renewable Portfolio Standard to put more clean energy on the grid faster, as well as successfully extending renewable energy tax credits for businesses interested in going green, and tax credits for families to purchase plug-in electric vehicles as they become commercially available later over the coming year."

    Some of the bills provisions include the following:

    Maryland Clean Energy Incentive Act of 2010:  This bill extends the termination date of the clean energy incentive tax credit to December 31, 2015. The bill also extends to January 1, 2016, the date by which a facility must begin producing qualified energy in order to claim the credit; and prohibits the Maryland Energy Administration (MEA) from issuing an initial credit certificate for less than $1,000.  The bill also makes the clean energy incentive tax credit refundable.

   Renewable Energy Portfolio Standard - Solar Energy: This bill increases the percentage requirements of the Renewable Energy Portfolio Standards (RPS) that must be purchased from Tier 1 solar energy sources each year between 2011 and 2016. The bill also increases the alternative compliance payment (ACP) for a shortfall in solar RPS requirements by $0.05 per kilowatt-hour (kWh) over the current amount in 2011 and 2012, by $0.10 per kWh between 2013 and 2016.

Introducing the PEM Electrolyser and Fuel Cell used in our training course!

      We just completed a series of PEM Fuel Cells to be used in our course.  In addition, the PEM Electrolyser will soon be available at our store.  It produces 99.99% pure Hydrogen Gas (H₂).  Just add distilled/deionized water and 2-4 Watts DC to begin generating pure Hydrogen gas. 





Check out our Online Store, or sign up for a PEM Fuel Cell Hands-On course!

      The course will cover the following subjects;

1. Renewable Energy Technologies: Solar, Wind, Fuel Cells, etc.
2. Proton Exchange Membrane (PEM) Fuel Cell: What is it?
3. How do they work?
4. What is a MEA, or Gas Diffusion Layer?
5. What type of gas does it use (Hydrogen, Oxygen, Air)?
6. How do I calculate their respective efficiencies?
7. Hydrogen safety rules 
8. Real and Practical Hands-on Exercises!!!
9. Current Successes, Challenges, and Research

     The course will be tailored to those interested in learning PEM Fuel Cells with or without scientific work experience. It is almost impossible to find the resources needed to learn about the technology without spending thousands of dollars. If your interested in learning more about the course, please fill out our contact form. A representative will then contact you with more information. We look forward to hearing from you.

Fuel Cell news: New Transportation Regulation 

      The U.S. Department of Transportation (DOT) has just published its final ruling (73 FR 23362) allowing transport of fuel cells and a wide range of fuels on board U.S. passenger aircraft as carry-on baggage. This new rule also provides for routine cargo shipment of fuel cells and fuel cell cartridges by road and rail, as well as international ocean shipment in bulk. 

      This ruling lifts the last barrier to fuel cell deployment on board passenger-carrying aircraft for many developers. Now, products can be introduced into the market place.

      H2*Sunlight applauds the diligent effort of the U.S. Department of Transportation.
