HYDROGEN

INFRASTRUCTURE DEVELOPMENT
SEEN FROM A SCANDINAVIAN PERSPECTIVE

ASIAN DEVELOPMENT BANK WORKSHOP


MANILLA, SEPTEMBER 16, 2016

ULF HAFSELD, CEO HYOP

Scandinavia a pioneer in hydrogen development


Early interest in hydrogen

fuel in the Nordic countries


first station in Iceland 2003
HyNor The Hydrogen road

of Norway launched in 2004


SHHP Scandinavian

Hydrogen Highway
Partnership established 2006

Target set in 2007: In 2015 it


shall be possible to buy fuel cell
cars and refuel hydrogen
across Scandinavia and drive to
the surrounding countries

Public Private Partnerships a key to success


The society needs new technology

to cut emissions in the transport


sector
The car industry is forced to reduce
emissions from their vehicles
The hydrogen infrastructure
providers can not see a clear
business model at present
Dedicated public support programs
can speed up the introduction of
zero emission vehicles

Strong incentives in place in


Norway for BEVs and FCVs

Zero import duty and VAT


Reduced annual tax
Reduced company tax on cars
Use of bus lanes
Free toll roads
Free ferry trips
Free public parking and charging

Projects and development in Scandinavia


Scandinavia has joined many

European projects

CUTE/CHIC bus projects


H2Moves Scandinavia, HyFive,
H2ME car projects
Standardisation projects

Denmark first country in the world

with nation wide network


Development of hydrogen
technology
Target set by SHHP in 2007 reached:
Now you can buy FCVs and drive across
Scandinavia and to surrounding countries

Station network 2016

Collaboration at the European level


Strong collaboration in the early 2000s on

standardisation
EU and industry/R&D making joint
commitment by establishing "Fuel Cell and
Hydrogen Joint Undertaking - FCH-JU
Annual calls for R&D and demo
projects
CUTE, HyFleet:CUTE and CHIC

major bus projects bringing Hydrogen


Europe together
H2ME large scale car project with
broad participation

Hydrogen Europe (formerly


known as NEW-IG) is the
leading European industry
association representing
almost 100 companies in
the fuel cells and hydrogen
industry.

A number of countries have been developing


national initiatives for hydrogen mobility
Very strong tax incentives
Network based on stations
in strategic locations

H2

Joint venture including


leading firms
Aiming at an early nationwide coverage of stations
Approach based on ensuring
good coverage in selected
regional clusters
Market seeding via captive
fleet approach
Followed by nationwide
roll-out when OEMs are
ready

Other nations are also


beginning hydrogen
rollout planning

H2ME brings together the partners in these


initiatives in a European approach

This project has received funding from the Fuel Cells and Hydrogen 2 Joint Undertaking under grant
agreement No 671438 and No 700350. This Joint Undertaking receives support from the European Unions
Horizon 2020 research and innovation programme, the New European Research Grouping on Fuel Cells and
Hydrogen (N.ERGHY) and Hydrogen Europe.

HYOP will build three stations in H2ME

Three high capacity stations in central locations in and around Oslo

The car manufacturers


Shifting focus over the years
Long and costly development

of new technology
Demo fleets in small numbers
Small production series started

Hyundai, Toyota, Honda

Volume production after 2020

Hyundai FCV ix35 in sale in Scandinavia 2014

Not yet strong enough

regulatory requirements to
force the OEMs to launch Fuel
Cell Vehicles in larger scale

Toyota Mirai FCV in sale in Scandinavia 2015

Challenges for the infrastructure provider


Early focus on R&D and Demo
Speed of introduction is to slow

for a normal business case


Difficult to find fleet applications that brings volume
Entry level higher than for
charging stations
Must now build larger stations
to get ready for the market
introduction
Need stamina!

ROI on technology development

Lessons learned

Hydrogen has checked out to be used

as a regular fuel
Initial set-up is tricky and requires
broad cooperation
Cost of hydrogen infrastructure is not
more costly than charging stations
measured per car it serves
Commercial operation of hydrogen
stations is possible when volumes grow
Hydrogen cars are now in show-rooms
Total cost of ownership of FCVs will be
in line with traditional cars

The Hyundai ix35 FCV operates


perfectly in cold winter climate

Recommendations
Always keep in mind where you

want to go and make plans


accordingly
The hydrogen infrastructure
should be planned on national
level
Create a broad network of
dedicated companies with
hydrogen competence
Take on board players with
stamina and ability for long
term thinking

Remember to plan for the whole bridge!

Setting up and building the


first stations takes time
but they are needed before
you can start speeding up

Thank you for your attention!

One more barrier down: Driving to my cabin and back = 500 km on one tank
