Bulk H2 On Rail Project Presentation First Results Alexander Schimanofsky, RCC Herbert Wancura, synergesis Hannover April 2017
PROJECT INTRODUCTION 2
Project Background Current Hydrogen Initiatives are mostly based on road transport and decentralized (renewable) energy usage. Hydrogen infrastructure and logistics based on: Sources of hydrogen and hydrogen production sites Need for hydrogen retail/refuelling outlets Logistic solutions largely in an economic feed forward scenario like H2 Mobility are designed around existing production facilities, pipeline networks, truck deliveries or decentralized electrolysis New developments require new thinking Railway Sector to be considered as major hydrogen user Industrial decarbonisation via hydrogen, e.g. H2FUTURE (Path 2 CO2 Free Steel production) will play a major role Challenge: Hydrogen Rail Transport to close the gap between road transport and pipeline 3

Project Intermediate Results Freight Costs 1st Result Case 1 (LOHC) Cost for relation Eastern => Central Austria ( 200km) 0,43/kg H2 Cost for relation N Sea => Central Austria ( 1000km) 0,87/kg H2 These results point to a possibility of forwarding H2 in distances of up to 1000km at least for the LOHC technology option Intermodal data are more complex to obtain and thus will be developed until the project closing at End Q3/2017 14
Project Intermediate Results RCS-Transport and Logistics RCS regarding Transport of Hydrogen on Rail Transport of Hydrogen on rail is generally covered by the RID (Règlement concernant le transport international ferroviaire de marchandises dangereuses) The RID does not cover Hydrogen Transport in MOFs (adsorbed gaseous Hydrogen) LOHC are not considered to be dangerous goods as per the RID RCS regarding Loading and Unloading Infrastructure Directive 2012/18/EU (Seveso III) excludes transport, loading/unloading and reloading to other modes of transport but is relevant for loading/unloading and reloading infrastructure as well as for intermediate storage potentially influencing the logistic chain in case of disrupted transport Other international and national regulations independent from rail transportation cover equipment, safety measures and qualifications 15
Project Intermediate Results RCS-Design, Gap Analysis RCS regarding Transport Equipment All design requirements for Freight Wagons are covered under the Technical Specifications Interoperability/TSI which are European legislation (not including Loading Units) Loading Units are covered by the RID and/or other, specific Standards Gap Analysis RID to cover MOFs as soon as the technology is available in relevant scales Potential equipment installed on Freight Wagons and not being part of certified Loading Units International standardisation of safety measures, qualifications and processes currently being guided by national guidelines like the Technische Regeln für Betriebssicherheit in Germany Separation/Definition of intermediate storage versus standstill during transport 16
