autoindustry.co.uk: CEO of Shell Hydrogen, reveals Shell Hydrogen’s new concept of Mini-networks
Posted 10 August 2004
Jeremy Bentham, CEO of Shell Hydrogen, revealed Shell Hydrogen’s new concept of “Mini-networks” as “Lighthouse Projects” to guide the development of the Hydrogen Market at the World Hydrogen Energy Conference in Japan on 1 July.
During the conference Bentham unveiled a proposal to develop a new generation of “Lighthouse Projects” that more accurately represent the reality of what the future will look like. “People need to be able to witness the wonder of hydrogen technology for themselves – not just read about it,” he said.
50m tonnes of hydrogen is already produced and consumed worldwide every year, mainly in industrial settings. Much of this takes place in oil refineries; Shell itself produces more than 7,000 tons of hydrogen a day, where it is used to produce cleaner fossil fuels, and believes important production ‘node’s are already in place which form an ideal platform to introduce “Lighthouse Projects” in the form of mini-networks. This would mean moving away from isolated industry demonstration projects to mini-networks that already have both semi-commercial and subsided elements.
Elements of each new “Lighthouse Project” should include:
– Fleets building up to 100 vehicles and beyond
– Fuelled from mini-network of 4-6 integrated hydrogen/gasoline stations
– Public Private Partnerships
– More than one vehicle manufacturer
– More than one infrastructure supplier
– Fleet company
– Government & regional/local authority
– Both subsidised and semi-commercial elements
– Focus on transportation in urbanised markets
– E.g. Tokyo, Los Angeles, the Rhine region
– Some stationary power elements
– High visibility.

Royal Dutch Shell conspired directly with Hitler, financed the Nazi Party, was anti-Semitic and sold out its own Dutch Jewish employees to the Nazis. Shell had a close relationship with the Nazis during and after the reign of Sir Henri Deterding, an ardent Nazi, and the founder and decades long leader of the Royal Dutch Shell Group. His burial ceremony, which had all the trappings of a state funeral, was held at his private estate in Mecklenburg, Germany. The spectacle (photographs below) included a funeral procession led by a horse drawn funeral hearse with senior Nazis officials and senior Royal Dutch Shell directors in attendance, Nazi salutes at the graveside, swastika banners on display and wreaths and personal tributes from Adolf Hitler and Reichsmarschall, Hermann Goring. Deterding was an honored associate and supporter of Hitler and a personal friend of Goring.
Deterding was the guest of Hitler during a four day summit meeting at Berchtesgaden. Sir Henri and Hitler both had ambitions on Russian oil fields. Only an honored personal guest would be rewarded with a private four day meeting at Hitler’s mountain top retreat.
