  1. Assembly of European RegionsAER Committee 1 Plenary MeetingMeeting of the Working Group on EnergyFostering the development of fuel cells in the Regions of Europe Marcus Nurdin 21 March 2007 Friuli Venezia Giulia An activity of the World Fuel Cell Council e.V.

  2. Creating a sustainable energy future: what role can the Regions play? European Parliament Workshop: Establishing a Green Hydrogen Society in Europe • Mr. Riccardo Illy, AER President: ''Regions are ... the key actors towards a green hydrogen society.'' • Philippe Busquin, MEP: ''we now need an approach that ... should include the creation of a network of regions.'' The H2&FuelCell Technology Platform: • Deployment Strategy: ''Regions can facilitate the creation of seed communities for a H2 economy. '' • The Initiative Group Business Development: '‘...regions have a leading role to play in the emergence of hydrogen infrastructures and early markets. An activity of the World Fuel Cell Council e.V.

  3. The case for fuel cells and hydrogen for sustainable mobility and power A unique combination of advantages: 1. Environment: Zero or Reduced Emissions of Greenhouse Gas and Toxic Pollutants 2. Inherent High Energy Efficiency 3. Improved Energy Security through differentiation of sources and decentralised power supply An activity of the World Fuel Cell Council e.V.

  4. The case for fuel cells and hydrogen for sustainable mobility and power A unique combination of advantages: 4. Foster the development of renewable energies 5. Siting flexibility allows use of by-product heat 6. Potential to enhance global competitiveness and sustainable economic growth in Europe An activity of the World Fuel Cell Council e.V.

  5. Fuel cells may come without a Hydrogen Economy but it is less likely that a Hydrogen Economy will emerge without fuel cells An activity of the World Fuel Cell Council e.V.

  7. Regional Projects: HyChain Mini-trans Illustration from www.hychain.org An activity of the World Fuel Cell Council e.V.

  8. Regional Projects: • ZERO REGIO – Lombardia and Rhein-Main • development/demonstration of H2 infrastructure & FC cars • MOU: Amsterdam, Barcelona, Berlin, Hamburg and London • collaborate to procure 100s of H2 buses from 2008 • encourage early commercialisation • they would welcome new partners; FCEu will help • London Climate Change Action Plan Reduce CO2 by 60% by 2025 • improve energy efficiency of buildings and transport • move 25% of energy supply off the Grid onto more efficient, local energy systems • need to confront vested interests to remove barriers holding back decentralised energy An activity of the World Fuel Cell Council e.V.

  9. Regional Projects: • Bolzano/Bozen - Energy Strategy • includes H2, energy efficiency and renewable energy • H2 produced only from renewable sources • used for transport and independent power • new technologies and local energy sources add value to local economy • Regione Toscana - Energy Strategy • accelerate transition to a hydrogen economy • H2 refuelling station (from renewables) servicing mini fleet • network of PPPs, research centres and service institutions • central hydrogen storage, pipeline and CHP systems • H2 from geothermal energy and biomass waste And many other initiatives... An activity of the World Fuel Cell Council e.V.

  10. Regions Key to FC Commercialisation and Realisation of H2 Economy in Europe • Clean, efficient conversion of H2 to electricity and heat • FCs&H2 challenge the existing systems of energy supply, distribution and use; they can bring decentralised energy to the regions and its populations • Regions control vehicle fleets: the 1st step to the commercialisation of H2&FC vehicles • Air quality is a local issue • RES and H2 supply vary considerably between Regions Regions are leading, but more needs to be done: • Particularly in collaborative projects • Focusing on existing FC equipment and applications • and bundling demand An activity of the World Fuel Cell Council e.V.

  11. Fuel Cell Power Modules are available for integration into a variety of applications An activity of the World Fuel Cell Council e.V.

  12. Fuel Cell Power Modules are available for integration into a variety of applications • Hydrogenics HyPM 10 leverages a simple architecture across a number of potential early market applications • NedStack 100kW fuel cell power module for low floor city buses. Different modules are available for a variety of applications. • Arcotronics PENTA OEM 5kW power module for integration by OEMs An activity of the World Fuel Cell Council e.V.

  13. Portable Generators, Back-up Power and Independent Power Systems Voller Portable Charger for Power Tools Voller Portable Battery Charger Arcotronics 1kW Electrum Portable Power Generator Plug Power 5kW GenCore for back-up power IdaTech 5kW ElectraGen Power Back up Solutions An activity of the World Fuel Cell Council e.V.

  14. Specialist Vehicles Fuel Cell / Battery Hybrids Materials Handling Applications using Ballard Power System Midi-Bus using Hydrogenics Power Module Voller Auxiliary Power Unit for Marine Applications An activity of the World Fuel Cell Council e.V.

  15. Industrial & Commercial Decentralised Cogeneration (CHP) • High quality, reliable power for critical applications: hospitals, telecom and data centres • High-pressure steam for industrial processes • 47% electrical efficiency, <90% total • Trigeneration: Power, Heat, Cooling • Ideally suited for biogas Plant shown: • Biogas Application (Germany) • Start of Operation August 2006 • 235 kWel in grid parallel operation • Exhaust heat used in biogas plant process for drying An activity of the World Fuel Cell Council e.V.

  16. Residential Cogeneration (Micro-CHP) • Natural Gas, LPG, Kerosene • 1-5 kWel, grid connected • ~80% overall efficiency • Large-scale demonstrations in Japan have shown a 26% reduction in energy use and 40% lower CO2 emissions. Developers: • Arcotronics • Ballard • Ceres • European FuelCell / Baxi • Vaillant • Viessman Advanced Ceres 1kWelSOFC stack An activity of the World Fuel Cell Council e.V.

  17. In Conclusion: • AER Strategy on Energy - Main Objectives: • Promoting decentralised energy policies and encouraging strategies for renewable and alternative sources • Enhancing awareness of, and promoting Regions’ best practices in, energy efficiency • Disseminating best practice in clean transport technologies • FuelCellEurope would like to contribute. We need to better understand your specific needs and how these could be met • Therefore, propose a joint workshop to identify: • Innovative technical solutions aimed at increasing energy efficiency and the use of renewable sources • The opportunities for projects, interregional co-operation and involvement in EU funded RD&D activity The Regions are key to Europe's energy future, we very much look forward to the opportunity to work together.
