PDC Machines G7 Summit logo
Press Release
∙ 5月 30, 2023
Philadelphia Area Hydrogen Company Attends G7 Conference
PDC Machines recently attended the G7 political forum, a prestigious invite for the US based manufacturer Hiroshima, Japan – The G7 political forum recently came to a close, marking the 49th summit of the landmark intragovernmental conference. Among the attendees was Philadelphia-based manufacturing company PDC Machines. A mid-size company with branches across the world, PDC exhibited at the G7 alongside mainstay Japanese companies introducing hydrogen-related products that contribute to worldwide decarbonization.

 

Specifically, PDC exhibited SimpleFuel, an all-in-one small-scale hydrogen refueling station that fuels PDC’s vision for today, and that vision is a huge part of why they were invited to the G7: decarbonization through hydrogen.

 

In Japan, the Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry (METI) has established a subsidy program to promote the installation of hydrogen supply facilities for fuel-cell vehicles, and from FY2022, the subsidy program has been extended to include small-scale hydrogen supply facilities such as SimpleFuel. In support of this program, PDC has received orders from Japanese customers for five locations in Japan, and installation is underway.

 

Compared to wind or solar, hydrogen is a relative newcomer to the green energy stage, but its increased capacity for scale and the urgency of the climate crisis have both brought additional attention to hydrogen as an energy carrier. The Bipartisan Infrastructure Law in the US, passed in Summer 2022, promises to invest $1.5 billion in hydrogen over the next four years.

 

It’s with this backdrop that PDC was invited to the G7.

 

“It was a terrific honor to receive the invite,” said PDC’s Executive Chariman Kareem Afzal. “At PDC, we view hydrogen as one of the keys to creating a sustainable future for generations to come, and we think it’s important for nations around the world, especially the member nations of the G7, to seriously consider a buildout of hydrogen infrastructure. With hydrogen, we have an extremely dense energy carrier with the capacity to scale, making it suited to applications that wind or solar might not be.”

 

The Executive Chairman also remarked on its role in the Philadelphia metro area.

 

“Being able to attend such a prestigious conference as a manufacturing company based in the Philadelphia area was also quite an honor. Aside from decarbonization, we view hydrogen as a terrific way to revive US manufacturing power and provide clean, well-paying jobs to a large number of people.”

PDC Machines Inflation Reduction Act photo
Press Release

PDC Machines responds to the Inflation Reduction Act
The Biden administration signed the Inflation Reduction Act of 2022 into law, promising a suite of climate protections and investments in clean energy. Among these promises is a commitment to H2 energy and fuel cell electric vehicles, creating high-quality jobs and accelerating the decarbonization of the U.S. economy from industry to mobility.

“The Inflation Reduction Act is a watershed piece of legislation,” said PDC Machines CEO Kareem Afzal. “This bill addresses two points of anxiety for Americans at once: the creation of high-quality jobs and the role of climate change in their daily lives. We can supercharge economic growth with jobs in the hydrogen sector while decarbonizing the U.S. economy, which the IPCC reports needs to be at net-zero by 2050 to avoid the worst scenario.”

“Hydrogen is one of the fastest growing technological sectors in green energy, and with this bill is poised to explode in size and viability. PDC Machines intends to be the tip of the spear in hydrogen with our industry-leading technologies and world-class workforce.”

The Inflation Reduction Act introduces a 10-yr tax credit for clean H2 and H2 energy storage, revises the clean vehicle credit to include H2 fuel-cell vehicles, and expands the clean energy station tax credit, among other investments in clean energy.

SimpleFuel Hydrogen Fueling Station
Press Release
∙ 8月 25, 2021
PDC Machines and Ivys Energy Solutions are collaborating with Australian partner ENGV to deliver a SimpleFuelFast at CSIRO’s Victorian Hydrogen Hub in Melbourne
PDC Machines and Ivys Energy Solutions are collaborating with Australian partner ENGV to deliver a SimpleFuelFast at CSIRO’s Victorian Hydrogen Hub in Melbourne. PDC and Ivys jointly design and manufacture equipment solutions for the hydrogen market. ENGV, our local Australian partner based in Melbourne, will provide the local integration, installation, and ongoing operational services for the station.

A SimpleFuelFast station enables quicker adoption of zero-emission fuel cell electric vehicles (FCEV) by providing communities, businesses, and fleet operators a convenient hydrogen fueling option. It is an all-in-one solution customized for CSIRO to include 20 kg/day production through PEM electrolysis, compression, cascade storage up to 1000 bar, chilling for fast fills, 700 bar dispensing, controls, safeties, and factory certification. The refueling station is a key milestone for CSIRO’s Hydrogen Industry Mission as it to supports Australia’s clean hydrogen industry development.

“The goal of CSIRO’s Hydrogen Industry Mission is to support the vision of a clean and competitive hydrogen industry for Australia. We will do this by delivering research, development, and demonstration partnerships which help make Australia’s hydrogen markets a reality. We are excited to be working with ENGV, PDC Machines, and IVYS Energy Solutions to establish this hydrogen refueling system as a “real world” hydrogen technology demonstration as part of our Victorian Hydrogen Hub initiative with Swinburne University,” said Dr Patrick Hartley, Leader of CSIRO Hydrogen Industry Mission.

“SimpleFuelFast is the most cost-effective, compact station on the market and offers all stages of hydrogen fueling from onsite production to fast-fill dispensing. This station complements the roll-out of large station networks to ensure hydrogen availability that is critical for large-scale adoption of fuel cell vehicles,” said Jim Petrecky, PDC’s VP Sales for Hydrogen Energy.

“ENGV is delighted to continue its success in delivering hydrogen projects in Australia as this project with CSIRO will be the third hydrogen refueling station delivered by the ENGV, PDC Machines, and IVYS Inc partnership in Australia” said ENGV’s CEO, Sean Blythe. “We are very excited to work with CSIRO and contribute to the Hydrogen Industry Mission. The deployment of SimpleFuelFast demonstrates the ability for this innovative technology to reduce global emissions through the transition of transport to zero-emission fuel cell technologies.”

“Our partnership with PDC Machines is a tremendous opportunity to strengthen our sustainable management practices,” said Don Smolenski, Philadelphia Eagles President. “Fueling our vehicles and operational equipment with clean hydrogen energy is an exciting new component of our comprehensive efforts to reduce our carbon footprint.”

Through the team’s robust Go Green program, the Eagles have been producing their own clean power onsite since 2013. A micro-grid of 10,456 solar panels have helped generate more than 24 million kilowatt hours, positioning Lincoln Financial Field to be among the greenest major sports facilities in the world.

“Today, the Philadelphia Eagles take the next step in their sustainability endeavor by implementing a cutting-edge energy storage medium,” said Kareem Afzal, Vice President of PDC Machines. “By pioneering practical and novel approaches to reducing their footprint, the Philadelphia Eagles again lead the athletic community – and broader business world – in sustainability, preserving their local community and setting an example for the world to follow. PDC is thrilled to enter into this partnership to show the world on a grand stage the opportunities that are present with hydrogen as a green energy carrier.”

The Eagles’ Go Green program has been nationally-recognized for its commitment to sustainability and eco-friendly measures. In December 2018, Lincoln Financial Field became LEED Gold certified by the U.S. Green Building Council for implementing practical and measurable strategies and solutions aimed at achieving high performance in: sustainable site development, water savings, energy efficiency, materials selection and indoor environmental quality. A few months earlier, in June 2018, the Eagles became the first professional sports team to achieve ISO 20121 certification, which is an international standard designed to help organizations in the events and hospitality industry integrate sustainability into management practices and processes.
