A comprehensive synergy initiative for the: European Mobility on Renewable Energy

1. A comprehensive synergy initiative for the:European Mobility on Renewable Energy Fomenting Energy & Technology enabled through the Energy Vector Hydrogen and the Via Azul ENERGY QUADRANTS: Energy Resources, Energy Transmission, Energy Storage and Energy Application Current Via Azul initiators:

2. MOVE RENEWABLE ENERGY • Alongthe 10 initialhighways TO THE POINT OF SALE • Renewableenergysources

3. Establish the Critical Massfor the EU Electro Mobility..! • Smart Grid enabled RE Supply/Demand balancing • Renewable (low-carbon) Energies (RLCE) Energy Transmission EnergyResources • Regional RLCE plants • Super Grid Transportation European Mobility on Renewable Energy • Fuelling stations/ Vehicle fleets • Local storage infrastructure EnergyApplication Energy Storage • Energy efficient driving and easy rapid fueling (Battery + FC) • H2Electrolysers/Metal HydridesNew gener. batteries/charging

4. Vía Azul ENERGY QUADRANTS

5. VíaAzulENERGY QUADRANTS • 1. Renewable (low-carbon) Energy Resources like : • EU-North Wind-Off-Shore farms • EU-South Solar Power plants • Water Etc. 2. TheElectrical Energy Transmission to the Point-of-Sale (PoS), applying HVDC underground cable technology, can substantially shorten line approval cycles for a new Wide Area Network of the Via Azul Energy Supply Grid. The WAN, implemented on the 10 VA highwayswith complementary (HV)AC Local Area Networks,enables charging/fuelling every 50 km. Via Azul Energy Supply Grid • 3. Required infrastructure at PoS fuelling station, providing Energy Storage via: • => Direct grid connected vehicle batteries • => Local facilities for hydrogengeneration, storage and flexible disposal • These enable, together with the supporting Smart Grid technology, accurate net stability and supply/demand balance for renewable (low-carbon) energy sources. • 4. Electro and hydrogen based low-carbon mobilityapplications like hybrid, battery & fuel cell vehicles, starting in VA pilotregions and cities.

Tampere Stockholm Oslo Glasgow Belfast Amsterdam Lyon Milano Freiburg Hamburg Memmingen Paris Bratislava Istanbul Marseille Madrid Lisboa Malaga Palermo JOINED AND SYNCHRONIZED Green Corridor‘NWDE-Benelux‘: DE-BG-NL REGIONAL DEVELOPMENTS • 10 initial highways… • WithPilot Regions Green Corridor‘Rhone-Alps’: FR-CH-DE Green Corridor‘Verona-Brenner-Munich’: IT-AT-DE Gdansk Cardiff Krakow • In collaborationwith: Graz Green Corridor‘Pyrenees oriental’: ES-FR Green Corridor‘Andalucía-Madrid’:ES Athen

15. We are preparing a VA meeting in the Bolzano region’s office in Brussels by the end of November, to share Green Corridor Brenner experiences with other interested VA Pilot Regions..! • Pilot Regions will be:First time movers and • eMobility beneficiaries..! • How could your region contribute… with current, planned or new VA projects… as well as funding, resources and political support..? Interested and motivated contributors welcome! (info@via-azul.eu)
