2. Hydrogen – A statement from our CEO
Hydrogen at Linde’s Annual General Meeting 2012
Speech by Professor Dr Reitzle (3 May 2012)
“And now a brief word on the subject of hydrogen. The potential of
hydrogen extends beyond environmentally friendly transport. In a
society increasingly committed to energy from renewable sources, the
importance of hydrogen as a means of energy storage is also set to
grow. Hydrogen is the only fuel which can store large quantities of
energy from renewable sources such as wind power for a long period
of time.”
Hydrogen at Linde’s First Technology Summit
Speech by Professor Dr Reitzle (17 September 2012)
“The future of mobility is green – we offer Liquid Natural Gas (LNG)
and hydrogen (H2) as low or zero emission fuel for all kind of mobility
needs.
Hydrogen, in conjunction with fuel cells, has the potential to make
both private and public transport more environmentally sound.”

Speech by Professor Dr Reitzle (24 September 2012)
“Ladies and gentlemen, imagine a journey around the globe, covering
a distance of 30,000 kilometres, across 4 continents and through 14

countries. And now, imagine making this trip in a fuel-cell car. To
achieve this impressive feat, we teamed up with Daimler last year for
3. W hydrogen for transport?
hy
• UK Government has stretching GHG reduction
targets
• Transport accounts roughly for one fifth all GHG
emissions
• Hydrogen is one of the most abundant elements in
the universe
• Hydrogen can be produced from a number of
different sources
• Hydrogen produces only water as a by–product
when used in conjunction with a fuel cell
• Hydrogen offers a genuine pathway to being a zero
carbon transport fuel
• Hydrogen removes “range anxiety” of BEV’s

8. A first for the UK
Honda, Swindon
• The UK’s first-ever public access hydrogen
refuelling station
• 200kg per day capacity
• Combined 350b and 700b dispensing
capability
• Joint collaboration between BOC, Honda and
Forward Swindon
• Site to be expanded in 2013 to produce 350/700b hydrogen refuelling station
hydrogen from solar powered electrolysis for
FLT’s and H2 ICEs

9. A template for “green” mass transit applications
On-shore wind 1MW Hydrogenics Storage and delivery Linde IC50 Hydrogen
farm Electrolyser by tube trailer Refuelling Station
• The UK’s first and largest demonstration of hydrogen production from
wind linked to a bus refuelling station and its use as an energy store
• Key elements of project:
– 1 x 1MW electrolyser
– 1 x Linde IC50 Hydrogen Refuelling Station with 2 fast flow
dispensers
– 10 x Van Hool hydrogen fuel cell buses
– Commissioning date Q4 2013
– Initial project period of 4 years
– Part funding already secured from Fuel Cells & Hydrogen Joint
Undertaking (FCH JU), Technology Strategy Board (TSB), Low
Carbon Network Fund (LCNF) and the Scottish Government
