Evelyn Lai is the Platform Manager for the Cogeneration Power Platform. Her team is responsible for the product development of the Mark 1030 fuel cell stack. She plays a key role in the successful integration of the Mark 1030 fuel cell stack into Ebara Ballard Corporation’s residential fuel cell cogeneration system.
Evelyn joined Ballard in 1997 as a research scientist in the MEA development team in R&D. Between 2000 and 2002, she was responsible for the supplier development of MEA components and moved to Manufacturing in 2002, where she was responsible for material design for manufacturability. Evelyn was appointed as Platform Manager for Cogeneration Power Platform in 2004.
Evelyn holds Bachelor and Master of Science degrees in Chemistry from Simon Fraser University. She is a Certified Quality Engineer and has been a member of the American Society for Quality since 2002.
The Ebara Ballard solution is a 1kW product installed on-site at consumers' homes that generates both electricity and hot water while reducing the homeowner's dependency on the electrical grid. The heart of this solution is the Mark1030(tm) fuel cell product, which was developed to operate on hydrogen reformed from commonly available fuels including natural gas and kerosene.
The Mark1030(tm) has successfully powered hundreds of residential cogeneration systems in every corner and climate throughout Japan and is saving homeowners hundreds of dollars in annual energy costs while reducing CO2 emissions by up to 40% compared to traditional power generation.
Evelyn will present to us an overview of this technology and its application. http://www.ballard.com/files/Resources/Fuel_Cell_Review.pdf
