In Hamburg one filling station is already under construction in HafenCity, and two more are plan- ned. New H2 filling stations will also be added in German associate partner states. Phase II: Putting the technology to the test The CEP entered its second phase in May 2008. Until the end of 2010 the project focused on developing relevant technologies and proving that they fulfilled requirements under practical, everyday conditions. By the end of 2010 the CEP fleet included more than 40 vehicles from six different manufacturers, four BVG local bu- ses, and six ‘Hamburger Hochbahn’ buses. All the data and experience gathered in operating the fleet helps to improve the technology and remove market barriers. For in- stance, the increased efficiency of fuel cell systems was proven, along with their ability to freeze-start at temperatures as low as -30°.n C I addition, the vehicles’ range was increased to 790 km per tank of fuel (depending on the vehicle), which makes hydro- gen cars competitive with conventional cars in this aspect.

  • 1 Introduction Agata Godula-Jopek
    1 1 Introduction Agata Godula-Jopek We find ourselves on the cusp of a new epoch in history, where every pos- sibility is still an option. Hydrogen, the very stuff of the stars and our own sun, is now being seized by human ingenuity and harnessed for human ends. Charting the right course at the very beginning of the journey is essential if we are to make the great promise of a hydrogen age a viable reality for our children and a worthy legacy for the generations that will come after us. Jeremy Rifkin [1]. Hydrogen is being considered as an important future energy carrier, which means it can store and deliver energy in a usable form. At standard temperature and pressure (0 ∘C and 1013 hPa), hydrogen exists in a gaseous form. It is odourless, colourless, tasteless, non-toxic and lighter than air. The stoichiometric fraction of hydrogen in air is 29.53 vol%. Abundant on earth as an element, hydrogen is present everywhere, being the simplest element in the universe representing 75 wt% or 90 vol% of all matter. As an energy carrier, hydrogen is not an energy source itself; it can only be produced from other sources of energy, such as fossil fuels, renewable sources or nuclear power by different energy conversion processes. Exothermic combustion reaction with oxygen forms water (heat of combustion 1.4 × 108 Jkg−1) and no greenhouse gases containing carbon are emitted to the atmosphere. Selected physical properties of hydrogen based on Van Nostrand are presented in Table 1.1 [2]. The energy content of hydrogen is 33.3 kWh kg−1, corresponding to 120 MJ kg−1 (lower heating value, LHV), and 39.4 kWh kg−1, corresponding to 142 MJ kg−1 (upper heating value, UHV).

  • Comparison of Hydrogen Powertrains with the Battery Powered Electric Vehicle and Investigation of Small-Scale Local Hydrogen Production Using Renewable Energy
    Review Comparison of Hydrogen Powertrains with the Battery Powered Electric Vehicle and Investigation of Small-Scale Local Hydrogen Production Using Renewable Energy Michael Handwerker 1,2,*, Jörg Wellnitz 1,2 and Hormoz Marzbani 2 1 Faculty of Mechanical Engineering, University of Applied Sciences Ingolstadt, Esplanade 10, 85049 Ingolstadt, Germany; [email protected] 2 Royal Melbourne Institute of Technology, School of Engineering, Plenty Road, Bundoora, VIC 3083, Australia; [email protected] * Correspondence: [email protected] Abstract: Climate change is one of the major problems that people face in this century, with fossil fuel combustion engines being huge contributors. Currently, the battery powered electric vehicle is considered the predecessor, while hydrogen vehicles only have an insignificant market share. To evaluate if this is justified, different hydrogen power train technologies are analyzed and compared to the battery powered electric vehicle. Even though most research focuses on the hydrogen fuel cells, it is shown that, despite the lower efficiency, the often-neglected hydrogen combustion engine could be the right solution for transitioning away from fossil fuels. This is mainly due to the lower costs and possibility of the use of existing manufacturing infrastructure. To achieve a similar level of refueling comfort as with the battery powered electric vehicle, the economic and technological aspects of the local small-scale hydrogen production are being investigated. Due to the low efficiency Citation: Handwerker, M.; Wellnitz, and high prices for the required components, this domestically produced hydrogen cannot compete J.; Marzbani, H.

  • The Case for Hydrogen Internal Combustion Engines Adam Campisi, Kyle Bartosik Stephen Poppa, Casey Rivera Advisor: Professor Brian Savilonis
    Hydrogen Powered Vehicle The Case for Hydrogen Internal Combustion Engines Adam Campisi, Kyle Bartosik Stephen Poppa, Casey Rivera Advisor: Professor Brian Savilonis Abstract HICE vs. Fuel Cells Hydrogen Fuel Cell Hydrogen powered vehicles have been in development for the past decade. While hydrogen fuel cells HICE Vs. Current Fuel Cells have been receiving the majority of the attention, they will not be ready for mass production for fifteen to twenty-five years. Hydrogen internal combustion engines may prove to be the most Now Widespread Availability 15-25 Years effective solution for the immediate future. This project explores the feasibility of making hydrogen internal combustion engines in mass produced vehicles. We researched the different methods for $5000 to convert ICE to Cost >$100,000 producing hydrogen, storing it in vehicles and converting traditional internal combustion to burn HICE hydrogen instead of gasoline. Through this research we investigated the advantages of hydrogen BMW Hydrogen 7 HICE internal combustion engines over hydrogen fuel cells. 65% Efficiency 50% Power output compared to Up to 120% 80% gas None, runs effectively in all Difficulties running in Condition Limits conditions freezing temperatures Production Methods •Electrolysis is the separation of water into oxygen and hydrogen by running a direct electric current through the water. •It is the simplest and cleanest way of producing hydrogen, because the hydrogen that comes out of the process is 99.999% pure. •The total land area of Class 4 (medium purple color 50-100 thousand kg/sq. km year) and higher wind areas is approximately 568 944 square kilometers. If http://geothermal.marin.org/geopresentation/sld117.htm we assume the output of these areas to be 5 megawatts/sq kilometer (MW/km 2), the calculated potential for the United States becomes 2,845,000 MW.
