PPS6 EDEN

Introduction to the first

workshop

IST – Luke Murray

PPS6 EDEN first workshop, Porto, 28 March 2007

By way of introduction

• Overview of key background information and policy relating to hydrogen and fuel cell technoloy development in EU & PT

• Aims of PPS6 project and today’s workshop

• Outline of the morning’s workshop

• Ice Breaker!!!

EU energy policy goals

• Security of EU energy supply

• Reduction of EU greenhouse gases and pollutant emissions (Kyoto and beyond)

• Improve EU industrial competitiveness

PPS6 EDEN first workshop, Porto, 28 March 2007

Key challenges: EU

energy scenarios

• Average annual growth rate of 1.8% global primary energy consumption between 2020 and 2030

• CO emissions from developing countries will count for more than ½ total by 2030

• EU energy dependency from 50% to 70% by 2030, causing volatility of oil prices and geopolitical instability

• Global energy investments of € 12 trillion required up to 2030 – a huge opportunity for EU industry

PPS6 EDEN first workshop, Porto, 28 March 2007

Importance of hydrogen

and fuel cells in the EU

An integrated hydrogen and fuel cell infrastructure will respond to key EU challenges:

• Security of supply

- oil peak production/ geopolitical issues

• Environmental concerns

- climate change and local pollution

• EU Competitiveness

- a potentially huge market = investment, growth, jobs

PPS6 EDEN first workshop, Porto, 28 March 2007

Paradigm shift

In 2002 the EC declared that the deployment of a

fully integrated hydrogen infrastructure in the coming

decades is one of its chief priorities in the energy

field.

PPS6 EDEN first workshop, Porto, 28 March 2007

Strategic overview:

realising the EU vision

1. Market penetration phases:

– 2006/7/8: Small portable sector, driven by the added functionality (compared to rechargeable batteries – SRE)

– 2010: Early markets for domestic heat and electricity generation

– 2010 – 2015: Larger stationary fuel cell CHP systems.

– Before 2020: Roll-out of mass hydrogen fuelled road transport.

2. Market enabling factors need to be put in place:

– Trained scientists and engineers

– Widespread public acceptance of a new fuel

– Incentives to ensure affordability whilst the economies of large-scale production build-up

3. A substantial, combined public-private-partnership is required to implement this vision.

EU Initiatives

• H2 / FC Technology Platform– EU vision & structure

– new & on-going projects & initiatives

– strategic research agenda & implementation plan

– 2007 – 2013 implementation and action plan in action

• Joint Technology Initiative– build industry and public confidence through long-term shared

commitment and well-channelled investment

– Oct 2006: signed by 45 companies and 130 letters of intent

– € 6 billion of investment into the sector pledged

Portugal energy policy

goals

• Improving security of supply

• Promoting economic competition

• Ensuring environmental sustainability

PPS6 EDEN first workshop, Porto, 28 March 2007

Key challenges Portugal

energy scenarios

• Energy consumption is non-productive, demand rising exponentially without corresponding growth in the economy

• Plans to meet the UNFCCC obligations as set out by the PNAC proving difficult to meet. What happens in the post-Kyoto period?

• High oil, coal and natural gas import dependency.

• Challenging government led targets for RES –39% of electricity production by 2010

PPS6 EDEN first workshop, Porto, 28 March 2007

Importance of hydrogen

and fuel cells in Portugal

An integrated hydrogen and fuel cell infrastructure has potential to respond to Portugal challenges:

• Security of supply

- import dependence

- maintain diverse energy portfolio through the use of high RES potential

•PT competitiveness

- a potentially huge market = investment, growth, jobs

- opportunity for Portugal’s economy?

• Environmental concerns

- EU and Kyoto emissions constraints and local pollution

PPS6 EDEN first workshop, Porto, 28 March 2007

Aims

PPS6 EDEN Project:

To create a policy & technology roadmap for the development of hydrogen and fuel cell technologies in Portugal.

First Workshop:

To develop a consensus vision for hydrogen and fuel cell development in Portugal until 2050.

PPS6 EDEN first workshop, Porto, 28 March 2007

First Workshop outline

• Introduction

• Vision development

• Hydrogen pathways development

• Review & Project overview

• Informal networking lunch afterwards

Ice Breaker

• Need to get a signature/ initials from a different person who has completed the action in each box

• 10 minutes

• Free 50kw PEM fuel cell system from SRE for the person with the most initials!
