The producer of this document is the sole responsible for its content and interpretations. Title: EU Hydrogen Road Tour Report on the locations, events, participants and results Project: H2mS Report Status: Final Report Date: December 2012 Road Tour Coordination: Svensson, Martin Hydrogen Sweden Report: Ulrich Bünger LBST Sofia Capito LBST Martin Svensson Hydrogen Sweden Contact: Ulrich Bünger, LBST ([email protected]) EU Hydrogen Road Tour_2012-10-24.doc 24/10/2012 5 1 Introduction The European Hydrogen Road Tour 2012 is part of a project called H2moves Scandinavia. The project is the first European Lighthouse Project for hydrogen, funded by the European Fuel Cells and Hydrogen Joint Undertaking programme, launched by the European Commission and European industry. Main focus of the joint undertaking is to increase the impact of industrial level activities in Europe in this field and to address three major European policy targets: • Energy diversity • Mitigation of greenhouse gases • Increase the share of renewable energies Major car manufacturers have devoted a significant amount of resources towards developing hydrogen powered Fuel Cell Electric Vehicles (FCEVs) that will be mass produced from 2015. That is why we take cars from four companies – Daimler, Honda, Hyundai and Toyota – along the European Hydrogen Road Tour 2012. In many of the cities we visit it is the first time the general public has an opportunity to test drive these cars with only water coming out of the exhaust. A fuel cell is a device which can be used to efficiently transform the hydrogen’s chemical energy into electricity and heat. Even better, the only emission is pure water. The efficiency of a fuel cell car is double as high as the one of a conventional gasoline vehicle, which compensates for loss of energy when producing hydrogen. FCEVs are on a par with today’s cars but with much less noise and emissions. Provided the energy in the hydrogen production is renewable, the environmental impact is – compared to conventional internal combustion engine cars – near zero. Our ambition is to accelerate the growth of hydrogen infrastructure so the FCEVs you can see here today, will be seen everywhere tomorrow.

A single person or institution would have been overchallenged. Therefore the project team comprised three basic entities: • Hydrogen Sweden (Martin Svensson, Christine Apelgren): Overall coordination, networking with local partners, printed material, hotline, coordination of team, ride&drive preparation and facilitation, organisation of hotels, etc. • Daimler (Teresa Fickler): Coordination of automobile partners, solving technical refuelling station issues, vehicle transport logistics • LBST (Ulrich Bünger, Jan Zerhusen, Sofia Capito): Organisation and moderation of panel discussions and workshops, H2mS presentations, refuelling logistics, support of Hydrogen Sweden in preparation and in ride&drive events, documemtation of key findings The following individuals, related to the H2mS project partners and their Road Tour guests Honda and Toyota have participated along the Road Tour.

The main idea of the EU Road Tour was to demonstrate the project, reach experts and the public and offer test drives in various locations in 5 European regions. The ambition was to reach different target groups spread across Europe, to develop a storyline and create as much impact as possible. To make the Road Tour become a success, we found that it is important to anchor the individual events locally and facilitate them with support from local committed organizations. The media coverage and legibility of the events would also be stronger if we could cooperate with other simultaneous local events in the field of sustainable transport, i.e. on hydrogen and fuel cells or E-Mobility and where people would meet. After several networking meetings, analysis of the European hydrogen arena, a screening of local events taking place during the year, and many internal meeting within the communication team, the event cities and the route successively were shaped. The next consecutive step was to follow up that decision by local meetings and site inspections in each of the event cities. The EU Road Tour concept finally comprised 15 separate events in 9 cities during one month touring through Europe. Versus the facilitation of 5 individual tours as originally anticipated the facilitation of one big event were: • Higher visibility, • Lower costs, • Clearer picture of FCEVs capable of covering larger distances between cities and • Simpler facilitation of experts involved from all partners. The concept comprised of three individual parts each: (1) a VIP seminar, (b) a VIP Ride & Drive event and (c) a public event with Ride & Drive. This foundation was then been adapted to the local needs and conditions in each of the event cities. In reality it turned out that a set of seminars, workshops, panel discussions, exhibition stands, visits, cocktails, ride & drives, public film makings and even flashmob drivings through the city centers were all organised in a different way in each of the event cities with a lot of dynamics and learning over the Road Tour period. The Route and the event cities are: EU Hydrogen Road Tour_2012-10-24.doc 24/10/2012 9 The following automobile partners and their fuel cell vehicles have been used at the H2mS EU Hydrogen Road Tour: Manufacturer Dimension Daimler Honda Hyundai Toyota Type B-Class Clarity ix 35 FCHV adv F-CELL H2mS partner Yes No Yes No Number of tour vehicles 2 2 2 1 Range (NEDC) km 380 460 525 650 H2 capacity kg 3.7 4.1 5.6 6 Tank pressure MPa 70 35 70 70 EU Hydrogen Road Tour_2012-10-24.doc 24/10/2012 10 4 Road Tour Event location Profile 4.1 Hamburg Date: 13 - 16 September 2012 Local Facilitator: Petra Kampmann / Hysolutions, Hamburg Daniel Hustadt / Vattenfall Europe Christina Wulf / TUHH, Hamburg University of Technology Event schedule (test drive, workshop, panel discussion, else): 13 September: VIP Seminar + Panel Discussion at Hydrogen Colloquium Participants at VIP Seminar: about 40 Speakers: • Staatsrat Bernd Egert, City of Hamburg – Ministry of Economy, Transport and Innovation • Klaus Bonhoff, National Organisation Hydrogen and Fuel Cell Technology • Ulrich Bünger, Ludwig-Bölkow-Systemtechnik • Carsten Retzke, Total/Clean Energy Partnership • Oliver Weinmann, Vattenfall Europe Innovation • Heinrich Klingenberg, hySOLUTIONS • Peter Froeschle, Daimler • Katsuhiko Hirose, Toyota • Takashi Moriya, Honda • Byung Ki Ahn, Hyundai • Christian Tuchel, Linde • Christina Wulf, Martin Kaltschmitt, Hamburg University of Technology 14 September: Staff Briefing 15 September: Public Event at St.

Both wind and sun supply significant amount of electrical power without generating any pollution during the operation. Unfortunately, both sources generate power of intermittent nature, regardless of the demand, which consequently stresses the existing electrical grid. To mitigate this drawback, renewable energy needs to be converted into a storable intermediate, which could be used in the times of electricity peaks or alternatively used as a fuel for vehicles. The energy carrier of choice is hydrogen produced by water electrolysis [3, 4]. Water electrolysis is a well-established method of producing hydrogen and an ideal candidate due to the general availability of water, scalability of the electrolysis plant and zero-emission production of hydrogen.

  • Press Release
    PRESS RELEASE Collaborative and dynamic future for EU automotive research On 15 November, 240 key stakeholders in automotive research and innovation met in Brussels for EUCAR’s annual conference. Innovation is key to delivering the benefits of cleaner, safer and smarter mobility for society, in the past and even more in the future. The automotive industry is Europe’s biggest private investor in research and innovation; spending more than €50 billion on R&D each year and employing more than 12 million people all over Europe. The ‘Innovating Mobility: Pushing the boundaries of automotive R&D’ conference was opened by Stefan Deix, EUCAR Director. Deix underlined that the auto industry faces many challenges, but quoted Peter Drucker to point out that “the best way to predict the future is to create it.” This motif of active collaboration was expanded upon by the reception’s key-note speakers: Jack Metthey of the European Commission’s DG for Research & Innovation, and Torbjörn Holmström, Senior Advisor to CEO Technology & Research, at the Volvo Group. Lively presentations and discussion followed with a range of experts from industry and academia. Urban Wass, EUCAR Chairman 2017, emphasised the importance of the next Framework Programme (FP9), which should focus on the further development of today’s technologies and completely new ones, as “both need to be addressed in tandem.” Research and innovation also need to produce concrete results according to Wass, who highlighted the “need to integrate new technology into vehicles, and vehicles into transport systems, providing numerous opportunities for European industry.” However, the automotive industry simply cannot do this alone.

The challenges related to hydrogen as an energy carrier are however not only technical. Due to the nature and purpose of transport, a number of refueling points or hydrogen stations are needed for it to be attractive as a fuel. The cliché “chicken and egg”- situation is often used to describe the dilemma of implementing new fuels such as hydrogen. Without hydrogen stations where people can refuel the cars, it is not profitable to produce the few cars that will be needed. Without many customers asking for hydrogen fuel and very few customers actually using the existing stations, the operators of the station will not want to build more stations due to the economical loss it presents. Hydrogen has many years been looked upon as an alternative to conventional fuels, either because of energy security and/or environmental reasons.

  • Transportation Through Hydrogen Fuelled Vehicles in India
    APPENDIX - VII REPORT ON TRANSPORTATION THROUGH HYDROGEN FUELLED VEHICLES IN INDIA Prepared by Sub-Committee on Transportation through Hydrogen Fuelled Vehicles of the Steering Committee on Hydrogen Energy and Fuel Cells Ministry of New and Renewable Energy, Government of India, New Delhi June, 2016 PREFACE In the present scenario, transportation sector is the lifeline of any economy but it is a major contributor to air pollution and greenhouse gas effect, causing health hazardous to living beings and increases earth’s atmospheric temperature (which result melting of glaciers and rise of water level in seas / ocean) respectively. The reserves of conventional sources of energy like coal and petroleum will rapidly be depleted due to continuous increasing energy demand. The transportation sector can alternatively be managed with hydrogen as fuel, which emits only water vapours and conventional sources of energy may be utilized for non-energy purpose. The hydrogen fueled vehicles based on internal combustion and fuel cell based technology (known as Zero Emission Vehicles) have been developed decades ago and are under demonstration in many countries. However, the industry experienced ups and downs in the interest of these vehicles due to various international reasons. In view of the climate change, it is becoming compulsive to promote carbon based to carbon neutral technologies. India is also concerned about its contribution to climate change and therefore has been giving significant impetus to generation & usage of new and renewable energy e.g. solar and wind. Hydrogen energy has also been a focus of attention for quite some time. Unfortunately, required emphasis could not be given primarily due to resource crunch and therefore the progress is lagging far behind in the global race.
