Air Products' Hydrogen Fueling Technology to Power Nestle Waters' Warehouse Forklift Conversion Air Products' Hydrogen Fueling Technology to Power Nestle Waters' Warehouse Forklift Conversion April 9, 2009 7:01 AM ET LEHIGH VALLEY, Pa., April 9 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Air Products (NYSE: APD), a global leader in hydrogen fueling and infrastructure, today announced the signing of a long-term agreement with Nestle Waters North America, Inc. to supply hydrogen and hydrogen fueling station technology for Nestle's Dallas, Tex. facility, where it will be used to fuel a fleet of approximately 32 Class I hydrogen fuel cell powered forklifts to be used in daily operations. Nestle Waters is in the process of expanding its bottling and warehousing operations in Dallas and is converting its materials handling equipment to hydrogen fuel cell forklifts. The fueling station is to be installed and operational during the second quarter of 2009. "This is a leading edge decision made by Nestle Waters to convert its materials handling system and use hydrogen as an energy carrier. It is a move that will provide operational, economic and environmental benefits for this bottling facility. Hydrogen fueling technology for materials handling applications is proven and cost-effective," said Tom Joseph, business development manager for Hydrogen Energy Systems at Air Products. "This project also further strengthens our collaboration with Plug Power in providing alternative energy solutions." "This project is consistent with our commitment to environmental stewardship and sustainable 'green' solutions for which Nestle Waters North America, Inc. aspires. I continue to be encouraged by the enthusiastic support from the front lines to senior leadership to introduce this capability and explore the responsible alternative energy options," said Christopher Lyon, process improvement manager for Nestle Waters Fleet Services. "We look forward to this site proving the viability of future conversions." "The new hydrogen fueling association with Nestle is an extension of existing business relationships in supplying industrial gases and services to a familiar customer," said Todd Geis, strategic account manager at Air Products. "We've been providing industrial gases and related services to Nestle at other locations around the United States for nearly 20 years. Hydrogen fueling, which is using our liquid hydrogen as its feed at this site, is an innovative offering that in the eyes of the customer sets us apart from our competition." Air Products' fueling infrastructure at Nestle includes an outdoor liquid hydrogen storage and compression system, along with multiple indoor fueling dispensers for operator refueling. Air Products' will fuel the fleet of new lift trucks fitted with Plug Power's (Nasdaq: PLUG) GenDrive(TM) hydrogen fuel cell power units. The GenDrive systems can be quickly refueled by the lift truck operator in less than five minutes, completely eliminating the need to change, store, charge and maintain multiple lead acid batteries per lift truck. There are many advantages to using hydrogen powered forklifts and other materials handling equipment. Hydrogen fuel cell-powered equipment needs refueling once or twice daily, depending on use. In contrast, traditional battery-powered equipment must be placed temporarily out of operation for battery replacement and required battery recharging approximately every four to six hours. Hydrogen fuel cell-powered equipment provides consistent power strength during use and do not experience decreased performance or wear down as traditional lead-acid battery units do as they near a required battery change out or recharge time. Additionally, hydrogen fuel cell forklifts are not adversely impacted by temperature or by operating in coolers and freezers, in comparison to traditional battery performance. Further, hydrogen- powered fuel cell equipment is more environmentally friendly because they do not involve lead-acid battery storage and disposal issues. This announcement follows closely Air Products' recent news of its hydrogen fueling project at the Defense Distribution Depot Susquehanna Pennsylvania (DDSP) in New Cumberland, Pa., where it is powering a fleet of 40 of Plug Power's GenDrive hydrogen fuel cell powered forklifts used in daily warehouse operations. Additional related materials handling projects powered by Air Products' hydrogen technology include installation of indoor hydrogen fueling infrastructure to fill a fleet of over 200 fuel cell powered lift trucks, working with Plug Power and Yale Equipment Services, which will Page 1/3 operate at Central Grocers' new distribution center in Joliet, Illinois in 2009, and similar work at a grocery chain warehouse in Texas since 2007, and manufacturing and assembly plants in Tennessee and South Carolina since 2006. Air Products, the leading hydrogen supplier to refineries to assist in making cleaner burning transportation fuels, has completed over 85,000 hydrogen fills and has placed over 90 hydrogen fueling stations in the United States and 16 countries worldwide. Cars, trucks, vans, buses, scooters, forklifts and other materials handling equipment, and even submarines, have been fueled with this trend-setting technology that involves Air Products' know-how, equipment, and hydrogen, and use of the technology is increasing at over 2,500 hydrogen fills per month. Air Products provides liquid and gaseous hydrogen, and HCNG (hydrogen/compressed natural gas) fueling, and has developed a variety of enabling devices and protocols for fuel dispensing at varied pressures. Hydrogen for these stations is delivered to a site via truck, by on-site natural gas reformation, and by electrolysis, including electrolysis that is solar and wind driven. Air Products has more than 50 years of hydrogen experience and is on the forefront of hydrogen energy technology development. Air Products has an extensive patent portfolio with over 50 patents in hydrogen dispensing technology.

  • Bottled Water Market in Lebanon: Refreshingly Successful BLOMINVEST BANK
    BLOMINVEST The Bottled Water Market in Lebanon: Refreshingly Successful BANK December 02nd, 2016 Contact Information Research Analyst: Riwa Daou [email protected] Head of Research: Marwan Mikhael [email protected] Research Department Tel: +961 1 991 784 When you’re scrolling down the supermarket aisle looking for water to quench your thirst, you’re most likely going to pick up any water bottle off the shelves. After all, they’re all the same right? The reality is that each bottled water brand is different from the other. It’s needless to dwell on the difference between sparkling and still water but little is known about the variations between different brands of still water. In fact, each brand has a different PH, meaning that the acidity or the alkalinity of each brand varies. While all the brands may contain Calcium, Chloride, Bicarbonate, Magnesium, Nitrate, Potassium, Silica, Sodium, Sulfates and Total Dissolved Solids (TDS), each brand contains these elements in different proportions as shown in the figure below. Numerous other factors also set bottled water brands apart; the constancy of the water’s composition throughout the year, the source of the water and whether or not it undergoes modifications after it is collected. Based on this, we can group bottled water into four major types. The Bottled Water Market in Lebanon: Refreshingly S A L Successful Natural mineral water is obtained directly from underground sources protected from pollution risks. Its mineral composition stays constant throughout the year and is bottled at the source. The minerals contained in this type of water are claimed to have health benefits.

  • The Impact of Water Protection Measures in the Vittel Impluvium on Recreational Values: a Choice Experiment with Local Residents
    The impact of water protection measures in the Vittel impluvium on recreational values: A choice experiment with local residents Tristan Amiri1, Jens Abildtrup2, Serge Garcia 2, Claire Montagné-Huck 2 Preliminary draft 08/09/2020 Abstract Actions undertaken for the protection of source water catchment areas by mineral water companies also produce positive externalities. Mineral waters create value for the water companies and its consumers, but for the territory and the local population also, in particular through the environmental and social services (e.g., habitats, landscape, and recreation) jointly produced with the protection of water quality. This paper aims at assessing the environmental and social preferences of the local population of Vittel (France) and surroundings, the area where Nestlé Waters produces the natural mineral waters of VITTEL®, CONTREX® and HEPAR®. From a choice experiment (CE) method, we test different scenarios of recreation activities considering two types of recreational areas: the countryside and the forest. While most of attributes are common to both scenarios, some are also specific to the forest and others to the countryside.

  • The World Health Organization Is Taking Cash Handouts from Junk Food Giants by Vigilant Citizen October 23, 2012
    The World Health Organization is Taking Cash Handouts from Junk Food Giants By Vigilant Citizen October 23, 2012 The World Health Organization (WHO) is the United Nationʼs “public health” arm and has 194 member states. While its official mission is “the attainment by all people of the highest possible level of health“, it is also clear that it works according to a specific agenda, one that laid out by the world elite and the organizations that are part of it. In the article entitled ‘Contagionʼ or How Disaster Movies “Educate” the Masses, weʼve seen how the WHO was involved in the promotion of mass vaccination campaigns following (bogus) disease scares, of civilian camps, of the bar-coding of individuals and so forth. More proof of the WHOʼs “elite bias” has been recently uncovered by a study: The organization has been taking hundreds of thousands of dollars from the worldʼs biggest pushers of unhealthy foods such as Coca-Cola, Nestlé and Unilever. It is relying on these companies for advice on how to fight obesity..é which is the equivalent of asking a drug dealer for advice on how stay off drugs and NOT buy his product. Coca-Cola, Nestlé and Unilever are not simply “food companies, they are gigantic conglomerates that produce and distribute an enormous proportion of processed foods across the world. In the article entitled Irrational Consumerism (or The Few Companies Who Feed the World), I described how only a few mega-conglomerates own most of the worldʼs brands of processed foods. To refresh your memory here are some of the brands

The case study adds empirical content to basic transaction costs concepts by analyzing the design and implementation of a contractual arrangement between a pollutee –a bottler of mineral water Vittel– and several polluting farmers. We analyse the bargaining between land and water rights owners and the bottler Vittel to determine how they succeeded in contracting for environmental property rights. Valuation disputes, bi-lateral monopoly conditions, and third-party effects are key factors. Several implications for environmental rights negotiations are drawn.
