Deployment channels for Infrastructure

TEN T: Hydrogen Infrastructure for Transport (HIT) 7 partners, with the support of 5 EU Member States, co-funded by the EU. Synchronised Implementation Plan for (HRS) roll-out along a 1,000 km corridor from Gothenburg to Rotterdam with links to hydrogen hubs in DE and the UK 1 pilot station of Air Liquide in Rotterdam 2 pilot stations in DK by H2Logic Geographical planning aligned with the EU’s TENtec mapping system HyER’s support in : Project presence and press event at the TEN T Day in Nov. 2012, Brussels and October 15-18, 2013 in Talinn Website, Project Dissemination and Engagement Plan, support in organising the first national workshops in Duration: Nov – Dec. 2014

 EEO was set up in 2012 with the support of HyER member regions and EC  EEO ‘s role is mentioned in CPT directive (2013): “..facilitate information exchange and coordinated regional action across the EU..”  EEO is designed to  answer key questions on drives and support schemes as well as compile learning from best practices across Europe;  identify robust deployment channels based on specific local conditions;  become a major tool to for policymakers at all levels:  - monitoring infrastructure planning across Europe - analysing data and providing policy recommendations European Electromobility Observatory info EEO Partners:

 EEO was set up in 2012 with the support of HyER member regions and EC  EEO ‘s role is mentioned in CPT directive (2013): “..facilitate information exchange and coordinated regional action across the EU..”  EEO is designed to  answer key questions on drives and support schemes as well as compile learning from best practices across Europe;  Identify robust deployment channels based on specific local conditions;  become a major tool to for policymakers at all levels: - monitoring infrastructure planning across Europe - analysing data and providing policy recommendations  EEO Workshop June 24, 2013 highlighted business cases for infrastructure European Electromobility Observatory info EEO Partners:

 HyER member regions share the EU ambition to promote and speed up the implementation of hydrogen fuel cell and electromobility in the EU as the major alternative fuels enabling CPT.  HyER member regions share and promote the view that standardisation is a key issue requiring European regulation:  to accelerate infrastructure ramp-up and mobilize economy of scales in terms of cost reduction, quality improvement.  Different standards for recharging and hydrogen refueling have been identified as a major obstacles for intensive interaction and joint development by HyER members within several projects. HyER’s general position regarding the CPT

 Targets can only be successful if commitments have been made and are accepted by all relevant stakeholders including transport and energy system operators;  Targets and ambitions need therefore to acknowledge local and regional aims, drivers and conditions (e.g. economic development, climate protection)  Targets need to be based on facts and experiences of first concrete projects and programs, currently collected, monitored and analyzed by the European Electro-mobility Observatory (EEO). HyER’s comments regarding CPT Targets

 To support decision makers in defining realistic roll out strategies, identifying trends, business cases and support schemes is crucial: up-to-date insight into recharging and refueling deployment is needed.  Insight in the landscape of regional variation and in the relations between regional and national transport and energy authorities helps to identify common denominators.  Support for an obligation (target) may be enhanced by a reward or stimulus: EU guidance (taskforce) to ensure harmonized roll out and to leverage financing of several EU programs (TEN T, ERDF) will be needed:  HyER is ready to ensure regional input necessary for successful roll-out !
