Hydrogen and Fuel Cells as Strong Partners of Renewable Energy Systems
January 25, 2009

As  the  EU  Strategic  Energy  Technology  Plan  is pointing  out  in  its  Technology  Map “The  possible competition  for primary energy sources  for hydrogen production  and  other  sectors  of  activities  indicates a  need  for  synergies  and  coordination  between policies and industrial sector strategies”. From today’s observations,  there  also  will  be  a  mix  of  different solutions suited to  individual mobility needs. This will include shifts in the modal split.
The  European  Hydrogen  Association,  EHA,  in collaboration  with  the German  Hydrogen  and  Fuel Cell  Association,  DWV,  present  this  brochure  as a  contribution  to  this  discussion  describing  how hydrogen  could  accelerate  the  use  of  sustainable primary energy sources in our future energy system in Europe by  integrating hydrogen as a storage medium and as a fuel in Europe’s transport systems. Therefore, renewable  energies  and  hydrogen  form  a  perfect alliance from an energy system’s point of view.
