An innovation pipeline for hydrogen & fuel cells b. madden

1. Element Energy Ltd
HyFIVE and H2ME - Project
overview
23rd June 2015
TEN-T Days, Riga

2. 2
Two major European demonstration projects H2ME and HyFIVE
• Deployment of over 400 vehicles and 35 new fuelling stations
• Complement the pre-existing plans for over 50 stations, to create a European
network of at least 85 stations (the largest in the world).
• Vehicles will be provided by six leading manufacturers and a wide range of
refuelling infrastructure operators and technology suppliers.
• Will achieve a step change in the scale of European deployment of the technology
• Focus is on learning commercial and practical lessons about the early roll-out of
hydrogen infrastructure and vehicles

H2ME will allow a test of four national roll-out concepts and develop
synergies between these strategies
H2Mobility initiative Strategy – synopsis
 Initial strategy based on fuel cell range-extended vehicles in
captive fleet applications
 Network seeded via deployment of 350bar HRS to support local
captive fleets before dual-pressure (700) HRS from 2020
 Widespread deployment of 700bar HRS to create a dense
national network for OEM vehicles
 Strategy based on a large risk sharing JV
 Strategy based on expected sales of OEM vehicles supported by
generous national tax regimes
 Planned deployment of a relatively sparse network across the
region to allow transnational driving in the region
 Initial clustered deployment mainly focussed on the South East
(around London) to allow first sales of vehicles
 Expected to expand from 2020 with increased vehicle sales

Large projects enabling the start of the journey to commercialisation
of hydrogen vehicles in Europe
New Learning
• HyFIVE is making good progress and has started to deploy stations and vehicles, which are
generally “delighting” the early users
• The project is starting to deliver valuable learning about the customers requirement for:
– A visible fuelling station network before committing to vehicle purchase
– Price sensitivity for early vehicle purchase
– The design of fuelling stations to provide an excellent customer experience
• H2ME will complement this consumer work, by understanding the network issues and
business models which will be able to underpin investment in station networks
Value of scale
• These projects represent a massive increase in scale and visibility of deployment of hydrogen
vehicles in Europe
• They should provide a first “plausible” customer experience of hydrogen for selected
customers
• Inclusion of a diversity of vehicle choices suggests the first step on the journey to
commercialisation has begun
• Analysis of nationwide models for investment prepares for further deployments using public
private investments such as TEN-T and national initiatives
