Transport development in Scandinavia
Scandinavian Hydrogen Highway Partnership
• SHHP – Transnational networking platform coordinating collaboration between three national
bodies – HyNor (Norway), Hydrogen Link (Denmark) and Hydrogen Sweden (Sweden)
• H2moves Scandinavia operates several FCEV’s in Scandinavia such as MB F-Cell B-class,
Hyundai ix35 FCEV and Th!nk Fuel Cell City Car
• Next Move – the communities and regions in the EU-funded project are to purchase hydrogen-
powered FCEV’s for 3,18 million € in 2012.

Denmark is a leading pioneer in renewables and hydrogen – what can we learn?
11-2009 DM
In 2006 the Danish Government decided to strengthen private-public
collaboration between government, companies, knowledge institutions and venture
capital
In the energy field the following partnerships were
established:
• The Megawind Partnership
• Danish Partnership for Hydrogen and Fuel Cells
• Danish Partnership for bio fuels
• Partnership to lower energy consumption in buildings
Denmark has strong national strategies and a strong
national Partnership
The Danish partnership for Hydrogen and Fuel Cells is an industrially formed
interest and industry association with 30 Danish members from manufacturers,
network organizations, universities and public authorities
• Bridging organization between private and public stakeholders

11-2009 DM
The Danish Government has announced a new Energy Plan 2020 that includes
establishment of a range of initiatives for hydrogen infrastructure and FCEV’s with
the overall aim to reach 100% fossil independence by 2050
• Country wide hydrogen refueling network by 2015
• 180% tax reduction for FCEV’s is to be continued throughout 2015
• Renewable electricity to reach 50% share of power and heat consumption by 2020 and 100%
by 2035
