1 FCH 2 JU - The role of Guarantees of Origin (GO) in further developing the hydrogen economy CERTIFHY Workshop, Brussels, 19 October 2016 Bart BIEBUYCK Executive director

2 Background: The Energy Union (European Commission Communication Feb.2015) I want to reform and reorganise Europe s energy policy in a new European Energy Union. Jean-Claude Juncker (President European Commission) The 5 Pillars of the Energy Union: 1. Security of supply 2. Integrated European energy market 3. Energy efficiency 4. Decarbonisation 5. Research and Innovation => SET-Plan Strategic Energy Technology Plan

3 The FCH 2 JU in the SET plan to realize EU 2030 targets The European Wind The European Industrial Bioenergy The European CO2 Capture, Transport and Storage EU 2030 targets*: 27 % increase in renewables 27 % increase in efficiency 40 % decrease in emissions The Solar Europe SET plan The European Electricity Grid Energy Efficiency The Smart Cities The Sustainable Nuclear The Fuel Cells and Hydrogen (FCH) Joint Technology Fuel Cells and Hydrogen Joint Undertaking FCH JU -EU body Budget: 1.4 bill. ( )** FCH JU Programme Office *European Council, October 2014 ** continuation of previous program for with a budget of approx. 1 bill. 3

4 Fuel Cells & Hydrogen technologiesrole in the Energy Union Energy Security Increase independence from unstable outside regions Competitiveness research excellence leading to industry innovation and growth Sustainability H 2 is a cleanenergy carrier Transport and Energy applications, generate electricity and heat with very high efficiency Possibility for storage of renewable energy sources Reduction of CO 2 emissions Competitiveness Energy Security Fuel Cells and Hydrogen Sustainability 4

5 FCH JU is strong Public-Private Partnership with a focused objective Fuel Cells & Hydrogen Joint Undertaking (FCH2 JU) To accelerate the Industry Grouping Close to 100 members ~ 50% SME Research Grouping Over 60 members development of technology base towards market deployment of FCH technologies from 2015 onwards The Joint Undertaking is managed by a Governing Boardcomposed of representatives of all three partners and lead by Industry. Legal basis: Council Regulations: 521/2008 of 30 May 2008 (FP7) & amendment1183/2011 of 14 Nov /2014 of 6 May 2014 (H2020) 5

6 Multi-Annual Work Plan, MAWP ( ) Estimated budget of 1.4 billion Strong industry commitment to contribute inside the programme + through additional investment outside, supporting joint objectives. TRANSPORT Road vehicles Non-road vehicles and machinery Refuelling infrastructure Maritime, rail and aviation applications ENERGY Hydrogen production and distribution Hydrogen storage for renewable energy integration Fuel cells for power and combined heat & power generation Cross-cutting Issues (e.g. standards, consumer awareness, manufacturing methods, )

7 FCH2 JU portfolio of projects 185 projects supported for about 638 mill 50/50 distribution between Energy and Transport pillars Similar leverage of private funding: 682 mill Continuous/constant annual support (through annual calls for proposals)

8 Cross-cutting Activity Area main goals and targets are set out in the Multi-Annual Work Plan ( ) Cross-cutting Activity Area Overview Cross-cutting activities will support and enable the Energy and Transport Pillars and facilitate the transition to market for fuel cell and hydrogen technologies. Activities are mainly conducted by supported R&D projects and CSA on Pre- Normative Research (PNR) Education and training Safetyrelated issues Life Cycle Assessmen Life Cycle Assessment t (LCA) LCA) Socioeconomic research Technology monitoring Public awareness Portable & niche markets Recycling Databases Financial mechanisms Social acceptance

9 CERTIFHY project Overview Developing a European Framework for the generation of guarantees of origin for green hydrogen General information Topic SP1-JTI-FCH : Development of a European framework for the generation of guarantees of origin for green H2 Starting date 01/11/2014 Duration in months 24 Budget 551, (432, = 78% funding from EC) Consortium members: Affiliated Partners: Main objectives: -To define a widely acceptable definition of green hydrogen - Design a robust GoO scheme for green hydrogen - Propose a roadmap to implement the initiative throughout the EU

10 The role of GoO in the FCH market up-take A robust, market-driven EU-wide GoO scheme for premium H2 is considered as an enabler to: Bring sustainability to the FCH sector EU-wide accepted definition of green hydrogen and Low-C hydrogen (premium hydrogen). Providing trustful information to the end costumer Promote the use of green and Low carbon hydrogen Enhancing the innovation in these technologies Fostering the production of premium hydrogen on a voluntary market Precursor for the implementation of a certificates scheme, A Market-based instrument (MBIs) with/without fiscal incentives Strengthening the market take-up of renewable fuels Increase of renewable energy in the EU energy mix As a energy storage mean, will allow the traceability with GoO for electricity and, supporting a transparent and robust EU energy mix and the interplay of the different energy systems Large scale use hydrogen to support integration of renewable energy sources into the energy systems
