World energy consumption is projected to increase 59 percent between now and 2020. To meet these future needs, a wide variety of energy sources are being developed today. Some are renewable, others are portable — all are cleaner. Parker’s role in energy technology encompasses everything from fuel extraction to tapping new energy sources, including fuel cells and alternatives such as solar, wind and wave power. The market for fuel cells is expected to quadruple by 2004. Fuel cells already power pollution-free buses with Parker systems, and that technology now is being scaled to more portable applications, such as digital devices. Wind energy is the world’ s fastest growing source of electric power. Parker systems position and control these mills to make the most of windpower. With escalating global demand for electricity, trailer- mounted generating facilities are in high order to deliver power wherever it’ s needed, and they’ re supported in large part by Parker’ s control, transport and turbine technologies.
