The Bavarian Hydrogen Initiative For it´s market introduction hydrogen will be mostly produced from 3.000 - Policies, Projects, Partners - fossil fuels for the time being. The long-term aim, however, has to be ³ the production of hydrogen from renewable energies. It is difficult to m / h predict which options will ultimately prevail. Any decision still requires a W k n lot of research and development work, particularly realistic tests in i 2.000 t n practice. e t n o c y g r e 1.000 n e c i f i c e p S 0 GH2 300 bar GH2 700 bar LH2 CNG 300 bar 35 g k / 30 h W k n 25 i t n e t n 20 o c y g 15 r e n e c 10 i f i c e p 5 S 0 H2 Methane Methanol Diesel MCFC (hotmodule) Figure: MTU CFC Solutions GmbH Copyright: wiba 2009 The Bavarian Hydrogen Initiative !
