1 The London Hydrogen Partnership METREX Meeting Friday 28th October 2005 Hotel Nazaries, Granada

2 Why hydrogen for London? UK concerns Energy security Carbon reduction Local concerns Air Quality Noise Green economy London s niche Media and profile Size of market, population and density Mayor s strategies Control of public transport Pollution and regulation Academic and business centre

3 London Hydrogen Partnership: Aims Produce and implement the London Hydrogen Action Plan as a route map for clean energy Provide a platform for funding bids and initiation of projects Establish and maintain dialogue among all sectors/actors relevant to the hydrogen economy Disseminate relevant materials

4 London Hydrogen Action Plan: Aims Support the development of a hydrogen economy for the UK Contribute to the growth of London s green economy through development of hydrogen & fuel-cell related industry & employment Improve air quality & reduce greenhouse emissions and noise in London Improve energy security for London

5 The Steering Group

6 London Hydrogen Partnership: Structure London Hydrogen Partnership Chair: Deputy Mayor of London Steering Group Task Groups London Hydrogen - Transport applications Forum - Stationary applications - Infrastructure and renewables - Discussion, dissemination - Skills, training and communications consultation - Safety and regulation - Shortly to be re-launched Secretariat Supports work of Steering Group, Task Groups and London Hydrogen Forum

7 Action Plan Objectives Pragmatic Action Plan for next 5 years, built on consensus between government, industry and NGOs Progress project activities in the following areas: Stationary Applications Transport Applications Safety and Regulation Infrastructure and Renewables Skills, Training and Communications

8 Stationary Applications Action Plan Targets Small FCs 3+ microchp units by microchp units by microchp units by Large FCs (>100kW) 0.5-2MW capacity by MW capacity by Notes: Proposals produced in consultation with industry Proposals based on global market size and technology development

9 Transport Applications Action Plan Targets > 2% of all vehicles in London are hydrogen fuelled by 2020 > 5% of all vehicles purchased in London are hydrogen fuelled by 2020 > 5% of all public sector fleet vehicles are hydrogen fuelled by 2015 > 20% of all public sector fleet are vehicle hydrogen fuelled by 2020

10 Progress Demonstration Projects December 2004: GLA's Clean Power Generator project using a hydrogen-fuelled fuel cell to power Christmas tree lights in Trafalgar Square. October 2005: Fuel Cell Trailer project (with GLA/BOC/FDT) using a 5kW hydrogen fuel cell for a public awareness programme Ongoing development of stationary applications projects including VOSA emissions testing, micro-chp and a schools kit Ongoing development of major transport project including bid to EC Framework 6 programme for Hyt-Hy Production of LB Croydon feasibility study use of fuel cell power for an off-grid air quality monitoring station

11 Future Action Plan activities Revision of London Hydrogen Action Plan Consultation period - 01/10/05 to 31/12/05 Launch of Action Plan 31/03/05 Further communications work Local authorities Developers and other key customers Public awareness Enabling further demonstration projects Stationary projects, e.g. A feasibility study to lead to installation of small fuel cell CHP at City Hall Transport projects including solutions for 2012 Olympics Infrastructure projects, focused on research work to support and deliver plans to establish a London-wide hydrogen energy infrastructure
