Hydrogen in Belgium centre of largest underground pipeline transport network port of Antwerp is one of Europe s biggest areas for the production of hydrogen Belgium is home for a rather overarching industrial value chain 7
Hydrogen in Belgium: projects 1 MW fuel cell plant by-product Solvay 5 hydrogen buses (Van Hool) using by-product in dedicated HRS in Antwerp (HighVLOcity, FCH-JU) 11 forklifts on hydrogen at Colruyt 1 HRS at Colruyt site, owned by WaterstofNet, using renewable electricity for the production of hydrogen Demonstration of PEM electrolyser & 120 kw fuel cell technology in a smart concept (Don Quichote-project) In 2014 the first 4 Hyundai ix35 on hydrogen were put into operation in Belgium (Colruyt, WaterstofNet and 2 for the FCH JU) first public HRS near Brussels (2016) by Air Liquide (SWARM-project, FCH-JU) on Toyota Motor Europe site 3Emotion project (2015 2019) approved: 21 hydrogen fuel cell buses in London (UK), Rome (Italy), Rotterdam and the Province of Zuid-Holland (Netherlands), Cherbourg (France) and Flanders (Belgium), and two new refuelling stations (Cherbourg and Rome). 8
Objective To develop a national implementation plan (NIP), also taking into account the surrounding HRS plans, for the development of a hydrogen refueling infrastructure in Belgium. To prepare the Belgium market for the introduction of FCEV (buses and passenger vehicles). 9
Approach Desk study (existing plans and targets neighboring countries, analyzing TEN-T road networks with Belgium cities and bus depots etc.) Using own experience (operator of 2 hydrogen refueling stations, experience within several hydrogen projects) Many meetings (industrial stakeholders, governments etc. ) Calculations Extensive involvement stakeholders reviewing executive summary 10
Results: TEN-T core/compreh. network North Sea Baltic Corridor Rhine Alpine Corridor North Sea-Mediterranean Corridor 11
Results: vehicles will come 12
Results: vehicles will come Mercedes Fuel Cell Sprinter Honda FCX Clarity Toyota Mercedes Benz F 015 Luxury in Motion Renault Kangoo Lexus LS 600h L (Toyota) Ford Edge Kia Nissan Terra Toyota Mirai VW Golf HyMotion BMW Hyundai IX35 Mercedes F-Cell Audi A7 h-tron Honda FCX Concept GM/Opel Mercedes GLC 13
Results: neighboring countries 14
Results: targets for Belgium Assumptions Growth rate neigbouring countries First stations in bigger cities, close to fleets and were possible along TEN-T network 15
Results: targets for Belgium Period FCEV Buses Hydrogen (ton) Electricity (TWh) 2015-2020 1.000 50 650 0,04 2020-2025 7.500 250 3.875 0,22 2025-2030 30.000 500 11.500 0,67 2030-2050 1.375.000 1.500 355.750 20,63 16
Results: production capacity wind 17
Results: ecological impact Assumptions Difference zero-emission vs diesel Euro 6 (same till 2030) Vehicle growth according to targets Belgium Source: TM Leuven 18
Results: market phases Target Core challenge Objectives Result of phase Lead investors market preparation (2015-2020) HRS: 25 FCEV: 1.000 Buses: 50 Overcome uncertainty Build HRS network to sufficient coverage Enable sale or leasing of early commercial vehicles Enough demand and/or projected demand sufficient early infrastructure coverage Government Strategic investors early market introduction (2020-2025) HRS:75 FCEV:7.500 Buses: 150 Maintain investment interest Monitor reliability of network Upgrade existing and build new stations based upon FCEV projections Critically risk and uncertainty have been removed Government Strategic & equity investors full market introduction (2025-2030) HRS:150 FCEV:30.000 Buses: 500 Enabling transition to and competitive private market Monitor reliability of network Build new stations Downgrade governmental support Better understanding on FCEV adoption, station deployment timelines and capability Market takes over development of network Equity investors Some government support 19
Results: governmental support (Flanders) Flemish Minister of Finance and Energy Advocate zero emission Actionplan directive 2014/94/EC > work in progress including hydrogen Benelux cooperation/agreement signed October 2015 Thanks to HIT2/TEN-T project 20
Recommendations to government (1/3) Include hydrogen refueling stations in the Belgium national/regional policy framework Take facilitating role to create confidence in the market (synchronized ramp-up, investment plan, implementation/coordination team, stimulate innovativeve demonstration projects) Align and stimulate developments in hydrogen mobility with other policy plans/targets 21
Recommendations to government (2/3) Develop and introduce incentives to stimulate fuel cell electric vehicle purchase and driving, also for niche fleets Develop and introduce incentives to stimulate investment and operation of hydrogen refueling stations (first mover advantage, tendering, minimum share 0-emission in fleets, financing, increase strategic value of network) Implement binding targets to reach green hydrogen mobility market Cooperate with neighboring Benelux-countries 22
Recommendations to government (3/3) Develop practical guidelines for hydrogen refueling stations and organize workshops Start discussions around optimizing regulations, inspections, permitting etc 23
