Prefered hydrogen distribution method Participants: H2 Logic | Linde End user site X (10 trucks, 1500hours/year ~ 6000kg H2/year ~ 135kg H2/week End user site Y 40bar Storage100-150kg storage (25.000– 45.000l) 350bar HRS30kg/day @15bar inlet 200bar distribution 40 bar (dump of) 10-40 bar End user site Z 200bar distribution Hydrogenproduction site

13. National support mechanisms for fuel cells National support mechanisms for fuel cells - some incentives for clean vehicles Austria: €500 *, possible grant up to 600.000 over 10 yrs Belgium: €8990 *, maximum grants for renewable -25,5% of investment Cyprus: €700* Denmark: France: € 5000*, or not more than 20% Germany: Up to 40% investment costs Greece: no taxation Hungary: preferential interest rate, capital grants for renewable and energy efficiency Ireland: grant support €5000 Luxembourg: 3% interest on 50-60% loans Netherlands: reduction from taxable profit max €107 million per year of investment , cheaper loans 1-2% lower than prevailing rate (max 10 year duration) Spain: (regional) grant 22-40% eligible costs, renewable 30-50% Sweden: tax reduction of 0.5 Euro/Mwh UK: Demo projects may be funded by government, other efficient technologies may have 100% capital allowances in 2st year * Tax reduction

14. HyFACTS • Identification, Preparation and Dissemination of Hydrogen Safety Facts to Regulators and Public Safety Officials • Aims to Develop and disseminate contemporary training material for regulators and public safety experts on safe and environmentally friendly use of hydrogen • Fuel cell and hydrogen (FCH) installations and mobile applications Public areas Companies Universities Research centers Fairgrounds Harbor sites www.hyfacts.eu

15. HyFACTS www.hyfacts.eu Project Importance: • Current knowledge gap on hydrogen safety environmental issues • Building regulations, local regulations, public safety and permission of technical installations or earlier in project development • Need to inform decision making institutions • Need for more effective approval procedures • Permission problems of technology in realised projects and the regulations, codes and standards (RCS) currently in effect. EHA’s Role: • Identification and engagement of regulatory and public safety officials • Collection of current practices and training procedures in EU • Definition of national authorization procedures for hydrogen installations in EU Roundtable Capetown May 3, 2012

16. HyFACTS Project Survey • 65.2% of interviewees engineering or consulting • 26.1% Regulatory authority (health and safety executive, building control, land use, local authority, etc.) • 55.6% deal with Hydrogen production unit • 55.6% Hydrogen passenger vehicle refueling station • 86.4% dealt with Fire Hazards • University most popular institution for training Most important topical areas: • Hazards associated with the use of hydrogen • Hydrogen detection and sensors • Regulations, codes and standards relevant to hydrogen safety • Risk analysis Link to Survey: https://www.surveymonkey.com/s/79VMV57

17. Hydrogen Evaluation for Logistics: SHEL Will Demonstrate: • 10 units of 1.5-2.5 ton FCH Fork Lift Trucks (counterbalance and reach) • UK • Spain • Turkey • Market readiness FCH • Hydrogen refuelling infrastructure • End user acceptance Aims to: • Accelerate early market take-up in Europe • Benchmark production and system components • Develop unified rapid certification and infrastructure build approval procedures • Create continuation plan for further 10 demonstration sites with 200 FC FLTs www.shel.eu

19. Project milestones

20. Approach in performing the activities Approach #1: SHEL is based on the modification of a “off the shelf” electric FLT Starting point is a previous national project (ECOLIFT Project)

21. Approach in performing the activities Approach #2: a “reference” vs. “practical” H2 supply is defined

22. Targeted Stakeholder Organisations: European Logistics Association European Intermodal Association The Association of Vehicle Logistics National/European Port and Airport Associations Fork Lift Truck Association European Manufacturers Associations of Materials Handling Storage Equipment Manufacturers’ Association

23. HyPROFESSIONALS www.hyprofessionals.eu Development of educational programmes and training initiatives related to hydrogen technologies and fuel cells in Europe • The project aims to develop training initiatives for technical professionals to: • Facilitate a well-trained work-force • Secure the required mid- and long-term human resource availability For the Vocational Training Level the project will: • Propose new initiatives • Execute training pilot actions Test and implement the initiatives Develop Educational materials • 2 project workshops will be aimed at: Decision makers Curriculum specialists Educational organisations

24. HyPROFESSIONALS www.hyprofessionals.eu EHA’s Role: • Engagement of key stakeholders, at different educational levels, who could facilitate the uptake of hydrogen and fuel cell curriculum integration in relevant educational programs at various levels • Target Groups Educational organizations Universities Technical schools European Vocational TrainingAssociations Vocational Curriculum Developers European Decision Makers National and Regional Authorities Technicians in Industry and SMEs General Public Roundtable Capetown May 3, 2012
