H2 & FC Quick scan 2004 New Energy Research (NEO) Non-conventional research outside the EOS focal points Small projects high risk & innovative Birth scheme for new EOS focal points 2004 H2&FC projects: hydrogen storage, new reformer concepts Budget 2006: expected 1,3 mln EUR (20 projects expected) Research

ACTS Sustainable Hydrogen (NWO) ACTS founded by companies, government, universities and R&D institutes Run by the NWO (Netherlands Organisation for Scientific Research) EUR 18 mln. grants for projects: Hydrogen storage, sensors, energy saving devices Integration of hydrogen into energy supply Social acceptance Hydrogen production and separation technologies First call 2003 (6 mln.), Second call may 2005 (6 mln., social acceptance), Third call half 2006 (6 mln.) H2 & FC Quick scan 2004 Research

H2 & FC Quick scan 2004 Five focal points: New Gas / Clean Fossile fuels Long term research (10 years from market) and demonstration projects International collaboration possible Started in 2005, mid term review of Focal points in 2006 Energy Research Strategy (EOS) Research & Demonstration

H2 & FC Quick scan 2004 Research areas: Fuel cells (PEMFC, SOFC): breakthroughs defined: efficiency, temperatures, lifespan Reforming: breakthroughs defined: size, reliability, cost and efficiency Gasturbines suitable for H2 rich combustion Energy Research Strategy (EOS) New Gas / Clean Fossile Fuels Research & Demonstration

H2 & FC Quick scan 2004 Energy Research Strategy (EOS) New Gas / Clean Fossile Fuels EOS Long Term 2005 projects: - PEMLIFE: Lifespan determining factors for PEMFC -HiDryPem: High Temperature Membrane PEMFC -SANE-PEMFC: Self-Assembled Nano Structured Electrode PEMFC 2006 Budget expected 25 mln. (5 focal points) EOS Demonstration: Budget exp. 16 mln. EUR Research & Demonstration

Innovation Subsidy for Collaborative Projects (IS) 2005 focus on: food&flowers, hightech systems and materials, water Criteria: Collaboration, Innovation, Sustainability, Market orientated R&D International collaboration possible (EUREKA) 2004 H2&FC projects: HOTPEMS:High Temperature Micro CHP PEMFC DUOGEN:Hydrogen fuellingstation with PEMFC 2006: Theme Energy expected: budget 5-10 mln. EUR H2 & FC Quick scan 2004 Market orientated Research

Different approach: PP Coalitions Interdepartemental directorate is being setup Five Energy Transition Routes 1New Gas: hydrogen & advanced NG technologies and application 2Chainefficiency: linking industry processes 3Green Raw Materials: biomass as feedstock 4Sustainable Mobillity: hydrogen & NG & biofuels 5Sustainable Electricity: solar & windenergy Five platforms: Public and Private members Energy Transition H2 & FC Quick scan 2004 Feasibility, Research, Demonstration

Energy transition Platforms are leading in policy, vision, clearing barriers and setting up schemes Bottom up approach (regions), strong interaction with EOS research Focus on technology and socio economic aspects Projects must be on a transition path Demonstration & Feasibility projects, exp. budget 2006: 20 mln. EUR (UKR, OTC) H2 & FC Quick scan 2004 Feasibility, Research, Demonstration

Energy Transition Platforms play crucial role in enabling local demonstration projects Energy Transition can initiate market introduction schemes FES grants: 250 mln. EUR for large demonstration projects and experiments! EU is looking at regions for demo projects Collaboration scheme between Germany, Flanders and The Netherlands is being set up!
