1 Trains on Fuel Cells Copenhagen,15/05/17 Andreas Frixen

2 Worldwide consensus on the reduction of CO 2 emissions Paris Agreement Limitation of the increase in the global average temperature to far below 2 C USA / Clean Energy Act Reduction of the CO2 emission of power plants by 32% vs until 2030 China No increase in the CO 2 emissions after 2030 / Increase in the proportion of renewable energies by 20% ALSTOM - 15/05/2017 P 2

3 Drivers for alternative drive technologies in the railway sector Significant part of the rail network not electrified (Germany: 50%) Increasing prices for diesel and traction current in the medium and long term Legislation and expectations on air quality and noise reduction Hydrogen : the ideal alternative energy source Progressive urbanization ALSTOM - 15/05/2017 P 3

4 Hydrogen as a solution for regional traffic High speed? Electrified Very high energy and power demand Trams?? Electrified H2-Trams possible Regional Traffic? Only partially electrified Operational environment fits available energy and power range ALSTOM - 15/05/2017 P 4

5 Development of energy sources for the railways Coal Diesel Hydrogen 34 MJ/kg 43 MJ/kg 120 MJ/kg ALSTOM - 15/05/2017 P 5

6 Conditions to be met for fuel cell trains in regional transport Traffic profiles comparable with existing vehicles Maintenance cycles no additional costs to operators H 2 on rail (Refuelling) Infrastructure reliable and cheap refueling Hydrogen prices allowing economical operation ALSTOM - 15/05/2017 P 6

7 Alstom will meet these requirements with a new vehicle category! Alstom s diesel vehicle Well-proven design Light carshell w/o overhead lines NEW: Coradia with fuel cell drive Alstom s electric vehicle Low maintenance costs Low noise emissions Recovery of braking energy ALSTOM - 15/05/2017 P 7

8 To put the H 2 train on the track Alstom has built an ambitious program Validation of design parameters on test bench Transfer of the results to vehicle level Comprehensive test program Strategy for the implementation of new technology, incl. maintenance concept Establish H 2 infrastructure Observation of comparable technologies ALSTOM - 15/05/2017 P 8

9 Diesel replaced with hydrogen and fuel cell technology Electric drive system Primary energy from fuel cells Intermediate storage from li-ion batteries o for additional acceleration o for the recovery of braking energy Combined propulsion and energy storage system ALSTOM - 15/05/2017 P 9

10 Intelligent energy and power management is key for success Energy Mgmt Power Mgmt Battery Fuel cell Traction & Aux. ALSTOM - 15/05/2017 P 10

11 The goal: Our customer receives CO2-free train availability Construction and operation of the H2 infrastructure (with partners) Maintenance and service We provide availability Operator receives a maintained and tanked vehicle! Delivery of the trains ALSTOM - 15/05/2017 P 11

12 Framework for the HRS (Hydrogen Refuelling Station) Very high volumes compared to cars and buses 35 MP 180 kg in two independent tanks Comparison H 2 - [kg] / storage capacity Interface: SAE J HD (7,2 kg/min) HRS implementation in existing railway infrastructure Availability and Reliablilty requirements for the HRS Refuelling 1,5 2 t H2/day and fleet ALSTOM - 15/05/2017 P 12

13 Possible hydrogen supply concepts Road/(rail) Gaseous (CGH 2 ) CGH 2 CGH 2 Road/(rail) Liquid (LH 2 ) LH 2 CGH 2 On-Site production CGH 2 CGH 2 Pipeline CGH 2 CGH 2 Different supply concepts according to local restrictions Different on-site investment and operational costs ALSTOM - 15/05/2017 P 13

14 Key success factor: building a reliable infrastructure Reliable infrastructure considering varying local environment and restrictions Costs that allow competitive operation Long-running supply contracts for high volume H 2 supply Close partnership between the railway and and gas industries Building future mobility One target: emission-free regional railway traffic by 2020! ALSTOM - 15/05/2017 P 14

15 Thanks to strong partners, Germany is the ideal starting point for hydrogen technology Customers increasingly demand innovative and environmentally friendly products The Federal Government and the States provide the basis for alternative technologies through environmentally friendly regulations/funding Transport authorities push the implementation of regional emission-free transport technologies ALSTOM - 15/05/2017 P 15

16 CORADIA train with hydrogen fuel Up to100 CO 2 -free and 60% less noise 1 Use of proven components Already 4operators on board First commercial service 2018 in Lower Saxony 1) 100% CO 2 -frei bei Wasserstoffherstellung mit regenerativen Energiequellen ALSTOM - 15/05/2017 P 16

17 Different approaches to establish a hydrogen infrastructure Lower Saxony: H 2 from chemical plant 30 km away from track, start 2018 prototypes / 2020 fleet North Rhine Westphalia: Connection to existing hydrogen pipeline / start 2020 Hessen: Existing production facility at Industriepark Hoechst start 2021 Baden-Württemberg: Greenfield approach Production of hydrogen with renewable energy/ start 2021 start = start of operation in passenger service ALSTOM - 15/05/2017 P 17

18 Also ideal prerequisites for emission-free public rail transport in other European countries Ambitious climate protection goals Trendsetting traffic management High potential in energy generation Local hydrogen production Cross-border traffic European funding ALSTOM - 15/05/2017 P 18

19 National and European support programs for hydrogen solutions on rail available : 1,3 bln EUR, Extension until 2024 planned Support of R&D and market introduction : 1,4 bln EUR NIP 2 in preparation Support of R&D and market introduction : 24 bln EUR Planned until 2030 Support of cross-border traffic with latest technologies ALSTOM - 15/05/2017 P 19
