1 HYPOTHESIS IV 9-14 September 2001 Reinhold Wurster L-B- Systemtechnik GmbH D Ottobrunn, Germany

2 Main Drivers for Clean, Sustainable and Renewable Energy Systems Global Warming (more than 90% of all GHG scientists agree that humans influence climate, first negative effects already can be identified, transport sector is one of the fastest growing contributors to human made CO 2 in Europe) Resource Depletion (Europe s dependency on fossil energy sources will grow from today 75% to almost 90% in 2020, concentration of petroleum sources in the middle east, dramatic decline of US natural gas and oil resources, non-conventional oil cannot provide any relieve in time and with acceptable CO 2 emissions) Population Dynamics (world population continues to grow, population in OPEC countries will double in the next 30 years) Energy Consumption (due to population growth energy consumption will grow, and even worse the per capita energy demand will grow even more rapidly, leading almost to a doubling of energy demand by 2030)

3 Main Drivers for Clean, Sustainable and Renewable Energy Systems Vision & Reality (Concepts for a solar hydrogen economy exist since 20 years, increasingly its components become technically and commercially available) Technology Development (significant progress in H 2 & FC has been made over the last decade and will be made over the next 10 years) Infrastructure & Technology Implementation (first concepts for the implementation of vehicle refueling infrastructure are developed and standardization of regulations for approval of H 2 and FC technology for mobile and stationary applications is under way [EIPH, ISO, SAE])

4 Actions & Goals Assisting the Introduction of Hydrogen as a Vehicle Fuel The Transport Energy Strategy, an industrial group of automotive manufacturers and fuel supply companies seems to have agreed upon hydrogen as the additional fuel to be introduced over the next 20 years in Germany The announcement by BMW that it intends to offer liquid hydrogen at refueling stations together with a fuel retailer in the vicinity of each BMW dealership by 2005 in Europe The fleet demonstration of some 20 to 60 zero emission hydrogen fueled fuel cell driven passenger cars and transit buses by the California Fuel Cell Partnership in the time frames of (20) and (60) and the demonstration of approx. 100 hydrogen vehicles in the frame of the Clean Energy Partnership Berlin between 2002 and 2005 The announcements made by GM/Opel and DaimlerChrysler indicating the introduction of large volume manufactured fuel cell vehicles into the German/ European market by latest 2010, 10% of all Opel vehicles for sale, and between 10% to 20% of all DC vehicles for sale.

6 ACEA Commitment on CO 2 emission reductions for new cars: The ACEA Commitment is supported by all its car manufacturing members who collectively have agreed to make substantial reductions in new car CO 2 emissions. In particular, ACEA has made the following ambitious commitments: to introduce to the EU market, not later than 2000, models emitting 120 g CO 2 /km or less (corresponding to an average fuel consumption of 4.9 l/100km), to achieve an average CO 2 emission target of 140 g/km for their fleet of new cars sold in the EU in 2008 (corresponding to an average fuel consumption of 5.7 l/100km), to review the situation in 2003 to evaluate the prospects for further reduction towards the Community s objective of 120 g CO 2 /km by The central commitment for 2008 corresponds to a 25% reduction in fuel consumption compared to This target goes far beyond what any other car manufacturing industry in the world has been prepared to consider so far.

13 Human and Automobile Population Growth Presently we have about 700 million automobiles with internal combustion engine world-wide The per capita density of motor cars in the US and in Italy lies at about 700/1000 and 550/1000 respectively In the year 2030 in Asia the following population is estimated for the three largest countries: Imagine: India 1,500 million These three countries would become China 1,500 million motorized on a per capita density of 200/1000 Indonesia 400 million then world automobile population would double (not yet considering Latin America, Total: 3,400 million Russia and Africa If we take into account that the maximum of oil production is reached before 2010 then it becomes clear that the supply of the present vehicle population and of this additional projected growth has to be achieved with new and cleaner fuels and propulsion concepts, such as hydrogen and fuel cells.

46 Infrastructure & Technology Implementation

47 Strategic Advantage of Hydrogen as a Vehicle Fuel No vehicle fuel can be produced from as many feedstocks as hydrogen: fossil sources (natural gas, crude oil, coal) waste (biogenic and non-biogenic waste) renewable sources (biomass, hydro, wind, solar, geothermal, ocean power) In a coordinated approach, hydrogen refueling infrastructure build-up will not be a technical nor an economic issue! Consequence: This allows a very robust and flexible introduction and implementation strategy for hydrogen as a vehicle fuel with a very high probability to avoid market niches and to enter real mass markets

49 TES - Strategy for Fuel Introduction Strategy proposal for introduction of hydrogen: market share of 2.5% until 2010 (i.e. 5-10% of new vehicle registrations) market share of 15% until 2020 (i.e % of new vehicle registrations) Additionally the following plans will be developed: build-up of a hydrogen infrastructure for mobile use implementation program defined together by vehicle and energy industry detailed timelines for implementation necessary framework conditions (government, society, economy) extending the initiative towards Europe Should a short/ medium-term introduction of hydrogen become much more difficult due to changed framework conditions within the period of the market introduction of hydrogen, the Task Force will keep options open to use either natural gas or methanol as bridging fuels.

Biomass Hydro Windpower offshore Costs [DM/l gasoline equivalent ] Solarthermal The cheapest renewable hydrogen production paths are based on biomass and are approx. 3 times as expensive as untaxed gasoline. Then follow existing hydropower and offshore wind energy. The most abundantly available renewable path is based on solar thermal energy conversion leading to hydrogen fuel prices of approx. 8 times as high as untaxed gasoline. The cheapest fossil hydrogen production path is via from natural gas and leads to hydrogen fuel prices of approx. 1.5 times as high as untaxed gasoline.

54 Hydrogen Safety Experiences and Measures in Transport and Refueling Hydrogen is being used in the chemical industry safely since more than a century Hydrogen is being transported in high pressure pipeline systems over hundreds of kilometers since more than 60 years On German highways annually more than 100 million standard m³ of hydrogen are transported with good safety record Liquid and compressed gaseous hydrogen storage containers due to their more rigid design behave much more benign in accident situations than conventional vehicle fuel tanks Destructive testing performed with liquid hydrogen storage tanks and with LH 2 vehicles have shown to fulfil all necessary safety requirements Today the refueling of CGH 2 and LH 2 vehicle tanks can be performed in 3 minutes (thus comparable to gasoline and Diesel) In the meantime the refueling of LH 2 can be performed without product losses Standardization of components and harmonization of approval procedures in the frame of ISO TC 197 and of the EIHP has been started during the last years and should lead to an international set of approved regulations be the end of this decade
