S. 665, The Hydrogen and Fuel Cell Technology Act of 2005, authorizes a 10-year, $7.9 billion program, in partnership with industry, universities and national labs, for the development, demonstration and commercialization of hydrogen and fuel cell technology.
"This bill would help jump-start the industry and lead us to a day when we can drive our cars without being hostage to the international oil cartel," Senator Dorgan said. "This bill will create the 'Apollo Project' our nation needs to make hydrogen technology a real part of our energy picture for future generations and realize true energy independence."
EDTA President Brian Wynne says, "S. 665 recognizes that the swift development of fuel cell electric drive technologies is critical to achieving energy security. EDTA looks forward to working with Senators Dorgan and Graham to realize our shared vision for the future of transportation."
EDTA is the preeminent U.S. industry association dedicated to the promotion of electric drive as the best means to achieve the highly efficient and clean use of secure energy in the transportation sector. As a unified voice for the electric drive industry, EDTA's membership includes a diverse representation of vehicle and equipment manufacturers, energy providers, component suppliers and end users.

Vecoplan - Planning and implementation of complete processing plants in refuse derived fuel production
In order to reduce the costs involved in the energy-intensive production of cement, many manufacturers are turning to refuse-derived fuels (RDF), considerably reducing the proportion of expensive primary fuels they would normally use. Solid fuels are being increasingly used - these might be used tyres, waste wood or mixtures of plastics, paper, composite materials and textiles. Vecoplan provides operators of cement plants with proven and robust components for conveying the material and separating iron and impurities, efficient receiving stations, storage systems and, of course, efficient shredders for an output in various qualities.
