Projecto EDEN

1. PPS6 EDEN
Introduction to the first
workshop
IST – Luke Murray
PPS6 EDEN first workshop, Porto, 28 March 2007

2. By way of introduction
• Overview of key background information
and policy relating to hydrogen and fuel
cell technoloy development in EU & PT
• Aims of PPS6 project and today’s
workshop
• Outline of the morning’s workshop
• Ice Breaker!!!
PPS6 EDEN first workshop, Porto, 28 March 2007

3. EU energy policy goals
• Security of EU energy supply
• Reduction of EU greenhouse gases
and pollutant emissions (Kyoto and
beyond)
• Improve EU industrial competitiveness
PPS6 EDEN first workshop, Porto, 28 March 2007

4. Key challenges: EU
energy scenarios
• Average annual growth rate of 1.8% global primary
energy consumption between 2020 and 2030
• CO emissions from developing countries will count for
more than ½ total by 2030
• EU energy dependency from 50% to 70% by 2030,
causing volatility of oil prices and geopolitical instability
• Global energy investments of € 12 trillion required up
to 2030 – a huge opportunity for EU industry
PPS6 EDEN first workshop, Porto, 28 March 2007

5. Importance of hydrogen
and fuel cells in the EU
An integrated hydrogen and fuel cell infrastructure will
respond to key EU challenges:
• Security of supply
- oil peak production/ geopolitical issues
• Environmental concerns
- climate change and local pollution
• EU Competitiveness
- a potentially huge market = investment, growth, jobs
PPS6 EDEN first workshop, Porto, 28 March 2007

6. Paradigm shift
In 2002 the EC declared that the deployment of a
fully integrated hydrogen infrastructure in the coming
decades is one of its chief priorities in the energy
field.

7. Strategic overview:
realising the EU vision
1. Market penetration phases:
– 2006/7/8: Small portable sector, driven by the added functionality
(compared to rechargeable batteries – SRE)
– 2010: Early markets for domestic heat and electricity generation
– 2010 – 2015: Larger stationary fuel cell CHP systems.
– Before 2020: Roll-out of mass hydrogen fuelled road transport.
Market enabling factors need to be put in place:
2.
– Trained scientists and engineers
– Widespread public acceptance of a new fuel
– Incentives to ensure affordability whilst the economies of large-scale
production build-up
3. A substantial, combined public-private-partnership is
required to implement this vision.
PPS6 EDEN first workshop, Porto, 28 March 2007

8. EU Initiatives
• H2 / FC Technology Platform
– EU vision & structure
– new & on-going projects & initiatives
– strategic research agenda & implementation plan
– 2007 – 2013 implementation and action plan in action
• Joint Technology Initiative
– build industry and public confidence through long-term shared
commitment and well-channelled investment
– Oct 2006: signed by 45 companies and 130 letters of intent
– € 6 billion of investment into the sector pledged
PPS6 EDEN first workshop, Porto, 28 March 2007

9. Portugal energy policy
goals
• Improving security of supply
• Promoting economic competition
• Ensuring environmental sustainability
PPS6 EDEN first workshop, Porto, 28 March 2007

10. Key challenges Portugal
energy scenarios
• Energy consumption is non-productive, demand
rising exponentially without corresponding growth
in the economy
• Plans to meet the UNFCCC obligations as set out
by the PNAC proving difficult to meet. What
happens in the post-Kyoto period?
• High oil, coal and natural gas import dependency.
• Challenging government led targets for RES –
39% of electricity production by 2010
PPS6 EDEN first workshop, Porto, 28 March 2007

11. Importance of hydrogen
and fuel cells in Portugal
An integrated hydrogen and fuel cell infrastructure
has potential to respond to Portugal challenges:
• Security of supply
- import dependence
- maintain diverse energy portfolio through the use of high RES
potential
•PT competitiveness
- a potentially huge market = investment, growth, jobs
- opportunity for Portugal’s economy?
• Environmental concerns
- EU and Kyoto emissions constraints and local pollution
PPS6 EDEN first workshop, Porto, 28 March 2007

12. Aims
PPS6 EDEN Project:
To create a policy & technology roadmap for
the development of hydrogen and fuel cell
technologies in Portugal.
First Workshop:
To develop a consensus vision for hydrogen
and fuel cell development in Portugal until
2050.
PPS6 EDEN first workshop, Porto, 28 March 2007

13. First Workshop outline
• Introduction
• Vision development
• Hydrogen pathways development
• Review & Project overview
• Informal networking lunch afterwards
PPS6 EDEN first workshop, Porto, 28 March 2007

14. Ice Breaker
• Need to get a signature/ initials from a
different person who has completed the
action in each box
• 10 minutes
• Free 50kw PEM fuel cell system from SRE
for the person with the most initials!
