1 Fuel Cells and Hydrogen Joint Undertaking (FCH JU) Francesco Ferioli FCH JU Programme Office Milano, 17 July

2 SET-Plan Technology Map Competitiveness Development paradigm shift New avenues New knowledge for developing technologies and adapting existing infrastructure 2 in the mid-term, opening new avenues in the long term

3 Framework Programme (FP) 7 Duration increased from 4 to 7 years, new structure ( Cooperation, Ideas, People, Capacities ) Frontier research managed by new European Research Council (~ 1 billion per year) Joint Technology Initiatives (JTI): Public-Private Partnerships at European level implementation led by industry 5 JTIs established to date, including one on FC/H 2 the first JTI in the field of energy technologies 4 other PPP foreseen on energy technology 3

4 FCH JU - Objectives Reduce the time for market introduction of FCH by 3-5 yrs Technology base for commercialisation in the time-frame Longer-term contribution to 2050 goal (60 to 80% reduction in GHG) 4

31 Collaboration with MS and Regions One of the main objectives of the FCH JU is to leverage additional industrial, national and regional RTD investments MS/AC programmes HBA Demo Projects etc. FCH JU HyRaMP Possible cooperation? 31

32 Possible areas of collaboration Coordination at project level rather than at programme level. 2 topics selected for possible initial cooperation: forklifts and buses type of projects (demonstrations, ), implementation (synchronised/coordinated calls, ) Discussion started about cooperation on H 2 buses (07/05/2009 HBA meeting, Berlin) 32

33 How to manage it Seek complementing action (e.g. focus on buses/refuelling stations, ) Define clear borders Transparent selection process at all stages Free-standing projects will add flexibility (synchronized/coordinated calls, ) 33
