Hydrogen technology will not only reduce our energy dependency and gas emissions; in the long run it will also change considerably our socio-economic model and create new opportunities for developing countries". Commissioner Vice-President Loyola de Palacio, in charge of Transport and Energy policy, added: "I am looking for new and original ways to reduce the European Union’s dependence on oil while at the same time contributing to sustainable development. Hydrogen and fuel cells offer such a possibility and they can contribute significantly to our policy objective of replacing 20% of automotive fuel with alternative fuels by 2020. In addition, hydrogen brings important opportunities for the distribution of sustainable energy (e.g. renewables) and for decentralised power generation.” EU Research Commissioner Philippe Busquin said: “To meet the stringent Kyoto Protocol targets, the EU will increase the use of renewable energy sources and substitute fuels – including hydrogen. Today, hydrogen and fuel cells are too expensive, that is why we need a consistent approach at a European level. By bringing industrialists, researchers, users and policy makers together, we aim to help build consensus and ensure Europe is leading the drive towards sustainable energy.” 7RZDUGVDK\GURJHQEDVHGHFRQRP\ Global demand for electricity is expected to double by 2015. Hydrogen will eventually contribute substantially to clean transport and power generation: its only emission is water vapour. But to enable us to move from today’s largely fossil fuel based energy economy to a more hydrogen-based one we need more research, know-how and investment. The HLG will assess progress so far and help devise short-term actions to introduce hydrogen to the market and prepare a long-term hydrogen and fuel cell strategy at EU level. )XHOFHOOPDUNHWIRUHFDVWV Independent market studies on fuel cells forecast average annual growth rates of 40- 60% in fuel cell-propelled transport over the next decade. The European fuel cell vehicle market should reach ¼ELOOLRQE\DQG¼ELOOLRQE\$VIRU power plants and energy production, Europe and the US will need to replace and reinforce their energy generation capacity. This includes micro-generators powering home appliances and remote regions. However fuel cell marketing still has substantial technical and socio-economic barriers to overcome, such as the lack of hydrogen distribution infrastructures. 7KHQHHGIRU(8DFWLRQ The USA and Japan are world leaders in fuel cell research. In the US this is largely driven by defence and aerospace applications. US government support to fuel cell development includes the Freedom Car Programme (¼PLOOLRQSHU\HDU DQGWKH ¼ PLOOLRQ 6(&$ (Solid State Energy Conversion Alliance) programme. Japan supports fuel cell and hydrogen technology development with a 28-year programme (1993-2020) with a total budget of ¼ELOOLRQ EU efforts in this field are not structured and they are under-funded and fragmented. Total European public funding for fuel cell research is estimated at some ¼ million per year, that’s about one third of US funding, and one quarter of Japan’s. The EU needs a coherent fuel cell and hydrogen technology strategy to aid the transition and to help the sector achieve a better cost/benefit ratio, thus making it competitive and turning fuel cells into viable market products. Issues such as fuelling, safety and common technological standards need to be addressed quickly. (8VXSSRUWHGUHVHDUFKRQK\GURJHQDQGIXHOFHOOV The Fifth EU Research Framework Programme (FP5 1999-2002) devoted ¼ million to hydrogen and fuel cell research.

The Group is an informal body with an advisory role. Its main objective will be to advise the Commission on determining the prospects for, and economic impact of, moving towards a sustainable energy economy based on hydrogen and electricity and introducing fuel cells as energy converters. By mid 2003 the Group will present a paper outlining ideas for the joint European actions necessary for a vibrant fuel cell industry and a sustainable hydrogen energy economy. The report may be followed by a more detailed action plan, including a hydrogen and fuel cell strategic research agenda. )RUIXUWKHULQIRUPDWLRQRQ(8K\GURJHQSROLF\SOHDVHYLVLW http://europa.eu.int/comm/research/energy/nn/nn_rt_hy3_en.htm http://europa.eu.int/comm/dgs/energy_transport/index_fr.html 3 /,672)*52830(0%(56%<$/3+$%(7,&$/25'(5 Representative Organisation Position Mr. Hjalmar Arnason Parliament of Iceland Member of Parliament of Iceland Dr Pierre Beuzit Renault Vice-president of Research, Renault SA Mr. Neil Carson Johnson Matthey Executive Director Mr. Pascal Colombani CEA Chairman and Chief Executive Officer Mr. Charles Coltman Rolls-Royce Director of Corporate Development Mr. Roberto Cordaro Nuvera President and Chief Executive Officer Mr. Claude Thibaut de Solvay Alliance Manager and Board Member Maisières Energy Automotive Systems Prof. César Dopazo CIEMAT General Director Dr. Gerd Eisenbeiß FZJulich Member of The Board of Directors Mr. Don Huberts Shell Chief Executive Officer of Shell Hydrogen Prof. Dr. Herbert Kohler Daimler-Chrysler Director, Environmental Affairs Dr. Wolfgang Meyer UITP President Mr. Michel Mouliney Air Liquide General Manager Advanced Technologies and Aerospace Division Prof. Carlo Rubbia ENEA President Prof. Lars Sjunnesson Sydkraft Director and Professor of the Corporate R&D and Environment Mr. Tore Torvund Norsk Hydro Executive Vice President of Norsk Hydro and CEO of Norsk Hydro Oil and Energy Dr. Andreas Truckenbrodt Ballard Power Vice President and General Manager Systems Transport Division Dr. Hugo van den Borre Vandenborre President and Chief Executive Officer Technologies Dr. Thomas Voigt Siemens- President Stationary Fuel Cell Westinghouse Division 4.

  • Making Markets for Hydrogen Vehicles: Lessons from LPG
    Making Markets for Hydrogen Vehicles: Lessons from LPG Helen Hu and Richard Green Department of Economics and Institute for Energy Research and Policy University of Birmingham Birmingham B15 2TT United Kingdom Hu: [email protected] Green: [email protected] +44 121 415 8216 (corresponding author) Abstract The adoption of liquefied petroleum gas vehicles is strongly linked to the break-even distance at which they have the same costs as conventional cars, with very limited market penetration at break-even distances above 40,000 km. Hydrogen vehicles are predicted to have costs by 2030 that should give them a break-even distance of less than this critical level. It will be necessary to ensure that there are sufficient refuelling stations for hydrogen to be a convenient choice for drivers. While additional LPG stations have led to increases in vehicle numbers, and increases in vehicles have been followed by greater numbers of refuelling stations, these effects are too small to give self-sustaining growth. Supportive policies for both vehicles and refuelling stations will be required. 1. Introduction While hydrogen offers many advantages as an energy vector within a low-carbon energy system [1, 2, 3], developing markets for hydrogen vehicles is likely to be a challenge. Put bluntly, there is no point in buying a vehicle powered by hydrogen, unless there are sufficient convenient places to re-fuel it. Nor is there any point in providing a hydrogen refuelling station unless there are vehicles that will use the facility. What is the most effective way to get round this “chicken and egg” problem? Data from trials of hydrogen vehicles can provide information on driver behaviour and charging patterns, but extrapolating this to the development of a mass market may be difficult.

  • Prospects for Bi-Fuel and Flex-Fuel Light Duty Vehicles
    Prospects for Bi-Fuel and Flex-Fuel Light-Duty Vehicles An MIT Energy Initiative Symposium April 19, 2012 MIT Energy Initiative Symposium on Prospects for Bi-Fuel and Flex-Fuel Light-Duty Vehicles | April 19, 2012 C Prospects for Bi-Fuel and Flex-Fuel Light-Duty Vehicles An MIT Energy Initiative Symposium April 19, 2012 ABOUT THE REPORT Summary for Policy Makers The April 19, 2012, MIT Energy Initiative Symposium addressed Prospects for Bi-Fuel and Flex-Fuel Light-Duty Vehicles. The symposium focused on natural gas, biofuels, and motor gasoline as fuels for light-duty vehicles (LDVs) with a time horizon of the next two to three decades. The important transportation alternatives of electric and hybrid vehicles (this was the subject of the 2010 MITEi Symposium1) and hydrogen/fuel-cell vehicles, a longer-term alternative, were not considered. There are three motivations for examining alternative transportation fuels for LDVs: (1) lower life cycle cost of transportation for the consumer, (2) reduction in the greenhouse gas (GHG) footprint of the transportation sector (an important contributor to total US GHG emissions), and (3) improved energy security resulting from greater use of domestic fuels and reduced liquid fuel imports. An underlying question is whether a flex-fuel/bi-fuel mandate for new LDVs would drive development of a robust alternative fuels market and infrastructure versus alternative fuel use requirements. Symposium participants agreed on these motivations. However, in this symposium in contrast to past symposiums, there was a striking lack of agreement about the direction to which the market might evolve, about the most promising technologies, and about desirable government action.

  • 90 Day Taxi Report May Through July 2019
    DATE: October 10, 2019 TO: SFMTA Board of Directors Malcolm Heinicke, Chair Gwyneth Borden, Vice Chair Cheryl Brinkman, Director Amanda Eaken, Director Steve Heminger, Director Cristina Rubke, Director Art Torres, Director THROUGH: Tom Maguire Interim Director of Transportation FROM: Kate Toran Director of Taxis and Accessible Services SUBJECT: Second Quarterly Report on Taxi Medallion Rules at San Francisco International Airport: May – July 2019 Introduction The San Francisco Municipal Transportation Agency (SFMTA) is providing a regular quarterly update to the Board regarding the implementation of the new airport taxi rules, which imposed restrictions on the types of taxi medallions that are authorized to provide a taxicab trip originating at San Francisco International Airport (SFO or Airport). The first quarterly report provides background information and tracks the first quarter of implementation of the new SFO rules, February through April 2019. This second quarterly report tracks progress in meeting the policy goals, from the time period from May through July, comparing the three-month time period in 2018 “before” with the same three-month period in 2019 “after” the Airport rule changes. Comparing the same three-month period from year to year helps exclude any seasonal variation, and assures the comparison is for the same number of days in the quarter; both factors can significantly impact taxi ridership. One major continuing issue is with poor data quality sent by the taxicabs, aggregated by color scheme, and transmitted by their dispatch service and/or data provider. The transmittals contain a large amount of data that do not appear to be valid trip or activity records, and inconsistencies vary across different dispatch companies.

  • Section 3.4 Fuel Cells
    2016 FUEL CELLS SECTION 3.4 Fuel Cells Fuel cells efficiently convert diverse fuels directly into electricity without combustion, and they are key elements of a broad portfolio for building a competitive, secure, and sustainable clean energy economy. They offer a broad range of benefits, including reduced greenhouse gas emissions; reduced oil consumption; expanded use of renewable power (through the use of hydrogen derived from renewable resources as a transportation fuel as well as for energy storage and transmission); highly efficient energy conversion; fuel flexibility (use of diverse, domestic fuels, including hydrogen, natural gas, biogas, and methanol); reduced air pollution, criteria pollutants, water use; and highly reliable grid support. Fuel cells also have numerous advantages that make them appealing for end users, including quiet operation, low maintenance needs, and high reliability. Because of their broad applicability and diverse uses, fuel cells can address critical challenges in all energy sectors: commercial, residential, industrial, and transportation. The fuel cell industry had revenues of approximately $2.2 billion in 2014, an increase of almost $1 billion over revenues in 2013.1 The largest markets for fuel cells today are in stationary power, portable power, auxiliary power units, backup power, and material handling equipment. Approximately 155,000 fuel cells were shipped worldwide in the four-year period from 2010 through 2013, accounting for 510–583 MW of fuel cell capacity.2 In 2014 alone, more than 50,000 fuel cells accounting for over 180 MW of capacity were shipped.1 In transportation applications, manufacturers have begun to commercialize fuel cell electric vehicles (FCEVs). Hyundai and Toyota have recently introduced their FCEVs in the marketplace, and Honda is set to launch its new FCEV in the market in 2016.

  • Key Specifications the Mirai Is a Fuel Cell Vehicle (FCV) Which Uses
    Outline of the Mirai The Mirai is a fuel cell vehicle (FCV) which uses hydrogen as energy to generate electricity and power the vehicle. Fuel cell system The hydrogen that powers the Mirai, hydrogen, can be produced from various types of primary sources, making it a promising alternative to current energy sources. The Toyota Fuel Cell System (TFCS) combines proprietary fuel cell technology that includes the Toyota FC Stack and high-pressure hydrogen tanks with the hybrid technology. The TFCS has high energy efficiency compared with conventional internal combustion engines, along with superior environmental performance highlighted by zero emissions of CO2 and other pollutants during vehicle operation. The hydrogen tanks can be refuelled in approximately three minutes *1, and with an ample cruising range, the system promises convenience on par with gasoline engine vehicles. The Mirai’s value The Mirai offers the kind of exceptional value drivers would expect from a next-generation car: distinctive exterior design, excellent acceleration performance and unmatched quietness thanks to motor propulsion at all speeds, in addition to enhanced driving pleasure due to a low center of gravity bringing greater handling stability. *1 Toyota measurement under SAEJ2601 standards (ambient temperature: 20 °C; hydrogen tank pressure when fueled: 10 MPa). Fueling time varies with hydrogen fueling pressure and ambient temperature.

  • Hydrogen Meets Digital
    Hydrogen meets digital New opportunities for the energy and mobility system Hydrogen Council September 2018 Discussion paper This report was prepared for the Global Climate Action Summit and published in September 2018 to open up a conversation between the hydrogen and technology sectors on the potential of hydrogen for digitization. This report was developed with the Study Task Force of the Hydrogen Council, consisting of senior executives of 6 companies: Air Liquide S.A., Hyundai Motor Company, Cummins Inc., Plastic Omnium, Toyota Motor Corporation, and 3M. McKinsey & Company provided analytical support. Contact [email protected] www.hydrogencouncil.com Hydrogen meets digital New opportunities for the energy and mobility system Hydrogen Council September 2018 The Hydrogen Council is the largest industry-led effort seeking to develop the hydrogen economy. Launched in January 2017 at the World Economic Forum, its members include leading companies that invest along the hydrogen value chain, ranging from hydrogen produc- tion, infrastructure, and retail to end users in the residential, industrial, and transportation sectors. As members of the Council, we are convinced that hydrogen can offer economically viable, financially attractive, and socially beneficial solutions. Furthermore, in certain sectors and regions it may represent the best way to enable the energy transition and improve urban air quality. This report seeks to start investigating the impact of digitization on energy demand and establish a dialogue with the ICT sector on how digitization and hydrogen could comple- ment each other’s impact during the energy transition. We believe hydrogen offers strong benefits that could enable major digital trends and thus serve as an efficient, zero-emission energy vector.
