Preface

hydrogen technologies are maturing at rapid speed, something we experience in Norway and around the globe every day as demonstration projects for vehicles and infrastructure expand at a rate unthinkable of only a few years ago. an example of this evolution hap-pened in Norway in 2009 when two hydrogen filling stations were opened on May the 11th, making it possible to arrange the highly successful Viking rally from oslo to Stavanger with more than 40 competing teams. The Viking rally demonstrated for the public that battery- and hydrogen-electric vehicles are technologies that exist today and provide a real alterna-tive for zero emission mobility in the future. The driving range of the generation of vehicles put into demonstration today is more than 450 km on a full hydrogen tank, comparable to conventional vehicles. as the car industry develops the next generation of vehicles for serial production within the next 4-5 years, we will see vehicles that are more robust, more reliable and cost effective. also on the hydrogen production and distribution side progress is being made, and since renewable hydrogen from biomass and electrolysis is capable of making mobility basically emission free, hydrogen can be a key component in combating climate change and reducing local emissions.

The research Council of Norway has for many years supported the development of hydro-gen and fuel cell technologies, and The research Council firmly believes that hydrogen and fuel cell technologies play a crucial role in the energy system of the future. hydrogen is a flexible transportation fuel, and offers possibilities for storing and balancing intermit-tent electricity in the energy system. Norwegian companies, research organisations and universities have during the last decade developed strong capabilities in hydrogen and fuel cell technologies, capabilities it is important to further develop so that Norwegian actors can supply high class hydrogen and fuel cell technologies to global markets. The Norwegian hydrogen Forum has shown itself as a visible actor in the hydrogen community in Norway and abroad, and will undoubtedly play an important role in developing this industry. i hope this second version of the hydrogen guide provides a useful tool to facilitate cooperation in this maturing industry, enabling knowledge sharing and industry growth.

norwegian Hydrogen STraTegy

Strategy for hydrogen as an energy carrier in transport and stationary energy supply in Norway

hydrogen is an energy carrier that can be produced from all types of energy sources, including natural gas and renewable energy, both of which Norway has in abundance. although the use of hydrogen does not create harmful emissions, the overall effect on the environment will depend on how the hydrogen is produced and transported to the con-sumer. The greatest environmental benefits of the use of hydrogen as an energy carrier are foreseen in the transportation sector.

Norwegian research communities and industrial stakeholders are at the forefront of the development of key technologies that are necessary in order to be able to utilise hydrogen as an energy carrier. This work has been closely linked to research and development activi-ties financed by, among others, the research Council of Norway. Norwegian players are also heavily involved in various hydrogen projects under the eU’s Framework Programme for research, Technological Development and Demonstration activities. The substantial interna-tional activity is a prerequisite for the Norwegian efforts in this field. at the same time, Nor-way as an energy nation has a special responsibility to take active part in the international efforts to develop hydrogen as an energy carrier, as this will contribute to a more robust transition towards a fully sustainable and non-fossil based energy system.

in 2005 the Ministries of Petroleum and energy and Transport and Communications launched their strategy which led to the establishment of the Norwegian hydrogen Platform and the nomination of the Norwegian hydrogen Council as an advisory body to the Minis-tries. according to its terms of reference The hydrogen Council published (December 2006) the first action Plan 2007-2010, with a set of concrete actions, activities and measures to help solve the challenges and exploit the opportunities that exist in the field of hydrogen.

The action Plan was met with substantial support across the national stakeholders, and has also received considerable attention abroad. acknowledging the long term aspects of intro-ducing hydrogen as energy carrier and the challenging global economic situation, the ex-ecution of the recommended actions has only partly been successful. Despite this, Norway is still in a leading position internationally, and the national political support is strengthened through the new government’s Soria Moria ii-declaration. The establishment of the govern-mental body Transnova has been the most important outcome of the current action Plan. Demonstration of the world’s first marine supply vessel with fuel cells is another achieve-ment worth mentioning.

in the coming period Norwegian engagement in the international efforts is of highest strategic importance, in particular the newly established european public private partner-ship, the Fuel Cells and hydrogen Joint Undertaking. This includes participation in r&D and demonstration projects as well as engagement in leading strategic positions for further development of the program. Links to asian countries and North america will also to be strengthened.

utsiraon utsira, an island 20 km off the west coast of Norway, the world’s first full scale autonomous wind-hydrogen system is being demonstrated. Since 2004 ten households have gotten their electricity exclusively from wind generated electricity and hydrogen. The project is now into its 5th year of testing. The project is owned by Statoil and operated in collaboration with enercon from germany. The project now has 2 years in stand-alone mode and improvements of the system are continuously being added.

HynorThe Hynor project is a joint public-private partnership initiated to demonstrate real life im-plementation of hydrogen energy infrastructure along a 580 kilometer road stretch from oslo to Stavanger. The first station came in Stavanger in 2006 and the second one in Porsgrunn in 2007. on May 11th 2009, which marked the official opening date of the hydrogen high-way, two new filling stations were opened in oslo and Drammen. a hydrogen- and battery-electric zero emission vehicle rally, Viking rally, was held in conjunction with the opening of hyNor and the 24th electric vehicle symposium. Due to Viking rally’s success a new rally will be held in 2010, and will go under the name Zerorally. Many international teams are expected to participate in the rally. Several additional stations are planned to open in the near future, the first one in Lillestrøm in 2010 and two additional stations in oslo in 2011. a fleet of 17 fuel cell vehicles will arrive with the new stations, making the total amount of hydrogen vehicles in Norway close to 40. efforts are also being made for the procurement of 5 hydrogen fuel cell buses, resulting in a strong hydrogen cluster in the oslo region.

another important demonstration project, fellowSHiP, demonstrates fuel cell systems for auxiliary ship power. This technology will also be well-suited for applications in the offshore petroleum sector. a 320 kw molten-carbonate fuel cell (MCFC) operating on LNg was installed in an offshore supply vessel, Viking Lady in the fall of 2009. The ship is owned by eidesvik, a Norwegian ship manufacturer. The fuel cell is functioning well and tests will continue in 2010. The goal of the testing and technology development is increasing the main power pack to such a degree that it becomes large enough to supply necessary power for propulsion of large ships.

in Bergen, a small passenger ferry, mf Vågen, has been equipped with metal hydride stor-age tanks, fuel cells and electric motors. The technological solution is tailored and imple-mented by Prototech. The ferry has a passenger capacity of 20 people. it is scheduled to go into operation in april 2010 and will carry passengers from the fish market at Bryggen to Nordnes in the Bergen harbor.

THe norwegian Hydrogen forum

The Norwegian hydrogen Forum (NhF) was founded in 1996. NhF is a non-profit organi-zation which promotes the advantages of hydrogen as an alternative energy carrier. our members span Norwegian industry, universities, research institutes and other organizations interested in hydrogen. NhF is also open for personal memberships.

NhF works as an active contributor to disseminate information about hydrogen in Norway through organizing seminars and workshops and keeping the forum’s website www.hydro-gen.no updated with the latest relevant news on hydrogen, both with regards to Norway and the international community. NhF has arranged national conferences on hydrogen, and has also jointly with its Nordic sister-organizations arranged the Nordic hydrogen Confer-ences. The last one was held in November 2009 in oslo and had close to 100 participants.

NhF is also an active and constructive partner to public authorities and other organiza-tions in the development of a future-oriented industry policy where hydrogen plays a role. another important role of NhF is stimulating to startups and involving small companies in the emerging hydrogen market.

international collaboration and information exchange is getting ever more important. NhF is thus an active member of the european hydrogen association, and meets with the other european associations regularly.

From January 2010, NhF has together with the Norwegian hydrogen Council engaged a full time, joint secretary position in order to intensify the work of NhF and make its impact stronger. we therefore encourage new members to join the organization.

Torgeir NakkenChairman, NhF

aetek aetek aS is a design- and prototype development company specializing in alternative fuel-oriented concepts in the transport sector. working both by initializing projects or as a think-tank consultancy, aetek seeks to find commercially viable ways to route public behavior in a more environmentally friendly, yet still exciting, direction.

Design and production of a norwegian hCNg concept car, the FYK (www.fyk.no), done in co-operation with Statoil, is a demonstration project initialized by aetek, intended to heighten public awareness of hydrogen and hydrogen/natural gas mixtures. in the long run, a poten-tial future hydrogen society depends to a large degree on market acceptance. hydrogen-fuelled vehicles must therefore be preferred not only for environmental reasons.

able to go from to conceptualization to design and production of fully functioning proto-types, aetek firmly believes in sustainable innovation - projects utilizing other alternative fuels are therefore also on the drawing board. rather than confining r&D to controlled labo-ratory environments, aeteks prefers taking its projects on the road, and into the media, in order to maximize attention given to opinions, technical solutions and cooperating partners.

Buskerud university college (HiBu) The fuel cell group at the Department of Technology has successfully performed several hy-drogen demonstration projects. we would like to emphasize the importance of demonstrat-ing the hydrogen technology to the public. in this respect we can mention:

in 2001 we constructed a 50 w PeMFC model truck fueled by pressurized hydrogen. The model truck was presented in media to a broad audience (e.g. NrK TV /radio, newspapers, etc.). in 2004 we introduced the first full scale FC vehicle in Norway, the so-called “Caretak-er Vehicle”, which was presented several times on Norwegian TV. it has also created a good response abroad (e.g. invitation to the hannover Fair).The vehicle is a mobile DC/aC aggre-gate transporting one person. The vehicle is based on 1200w PeMFC and fueled by pressu-rized hydrogen, 5800 l stored on board. in 2006 we constructed an advanced fuel cell boat model for the so-called Fellowship organization. it can be mentioned that the FC boat model applies the Kongsberg Maritime positioning system. hydrogen is stored in Mh. The model has been successfully shown at several fairs both in Norway and abroad, promoting the Fel-lowship project. The final goal for the Fellowship project is to construct a full scale FC based supply ship. in 2007 we built a full scale 21 feet fuel cell boat which was the first FC boat in Scandinavia. The boat is a FC (2.4 kw)/battery hybrid, fueled by both pressurized- and Mh stored hydrogen. The project was a co-work with Vestfold University College and was fully financed by the counties in our region (Buskerud, Vestfold and Telemark). The boat created a lot of interest both in Norway and abroad.

There is a strong engagement in FC technology in the education of students at BUC. it has been developed an advanced 60 hrs course in FC technology (e.g. fuel and air consump-tions, heat production, efficiencies, effect of polarization, water balance in PeMFC, etc.). So far about 100 of our last year students have graduated in FC technology. From 2010 the course will be further developed to a 120 hrs course in alternative energy with a main focus on hydrogen- and FC- technology.

at present we are developing an advanced FC research laboratory at BUC. The laboratory has been mainly financed by the counties in our region and the Norwegian research Coun-cil. our main activities are related to basic PeMFC research. The facilities will give a good opportunity for both master and research fellows to join our r&D on fuel cells.

det norske Veritas aS (dnV) Det Norske Veritas aS (DNV) is an independent foundation with the purpose to safeguard life, property and the environment. our core competence has always been to identify, as-sess, and advice on how to manage risks. DNV does this through an international network of about 300 offices in 100 countries. Contributing to a safe and cost efficient introduction of hydrogen, is in line with DNVs purpose. Therefore, DNV has for several years invested heavily in hydrogen competence development through participation in a wide range of r&D projects, networks and cooperation initiatives nationally and internationally.

The properties and therefore also the behaviour of hydrogen is in some cases different to the behaviour of other commonly used gases and fuels. DNV has competence to help our customers to identify, assess and control the risks associated with the use of hydrogen.

DNV is building our services and solutions based on 140 years of competence development, cross discipline technical expertise, and wide industry knowledge, and use this to help our clients to realise the potential for the safe and cost efficient introduction and use of hydrogen.

DNV hydrogen services include safety, approval support as support related to regulations, codes and standards. DNV also certifies hydrogen equipment and components.

DNVs hydrogen activities cover development of hydrogen as an energy carrier; hydrogen as a component in (cleaner) energy production; as well as the increasing utilisation of hydro-gen in the process industry and in refineries.

fuel cellsDNV has taken the driver’s seat in developing fuel cell technology for ships through leading the pilot project FellowShiP. FellowShiP was initiated by DNV in 2003 and developed the world’s first marine, industrial size fuel cell (320 kw). The fuel cell was tested and integrat-ed in the offshore support vessel Viking Lady. The technology provides ultra clean operation and up to 50% reduction in fuel consumption. The fuel cell power packages will have zero emissions to air of substances (Nox, Sox and particles). as a continuation of previous fuel cell activities, DNV is also engaged in r&D initiatives for development of fuel cells in new build cruise vessels.

energiparken aS The purpose of energiparken is to facilitate development and commercialisation of energy- and environmental technologies. energiparken owns an industrial area in risavika in the vicinity of the landfall of natural gas to the Stavanger-region, the coming international harbour and the significant technology environment in the Stavanger-region. The area is being developed with a comprehensive infrastructure including district heating and cooling, natural gas at high and low pressure and fibre optics cabling.

Sites are being sold to companies wishing to establish industrial activities related to energy and the environment. hydrogen is one such activity. risavika may therefore be an attrac-tive area for establishment of hydrogen related industrial activities.

one important establishment at energiparken is risavika Centre for environmental- and gastechnology (rSMg). This company was formed by Statoil, Shell, Lyse and the interna-tional research institute of Stavanger. The purpose of the company is to offer large-scale testing facilities for natural gas equipment. hydrogen production for use in the local node of the hyNor project is planned to be located at rSMg together with other hydrogen based development activities.

gasPlas aS groundbreaking Technology & innovation

gasPlas aS has developed a groundbreaking new cold plasma technology for produc-tion of hydrogen from bio- or natural gas. This technology enables a truly clean hydrogen transport system with no Co2 emissions from well to wheel. effective distribution of h2 can now be achieved using existing universal natural gas networks and generating hydrogen on- demand at point of use. Carbon can be collected as powder and used as a high valued product (Carbon Capture and Use — CCU) and expensive Co2 capture technology is not needed (Carbon Capture and Storage — CCS).

what is plasma? and why do we use microwaves? Plasma is the fourth state of matter and is by far the most common one in the universe both by mass and volume. its properties are quite different from solids, liquids and gases. For plasma to exist, ionization is neces-sary. The degree of ionization of plasma is the proportion of atoms or molecule, which have lost (or gained) electrons. Since plasma is highly conductive, magnetism and electrical free electrons will affect it. By using microwaves the bonding between electrons and molecules in hydrocarbon gasses will loosen. we can therefore separate hydrogen gas and carbon powder.

Summary of gasPlas Technology• No Co2-emissions (our carbon is collected in powder form)• high energy cracking efficiency• Scalability (small to industrial scale production)• Low capital and operating expenses• on-demand or continues production• Low operating temperatures• operation under normal atmospheric pressure• No moving components• Few components and relative small size• on-demand production with quick start and stop operation• good conditions for control over carbon structure• Large cold plasma volumes• Use any type of bio- or natural gas• wide range of applications based on same principle

Hynor lillestrøm aS hyNor Lillestrøm aS will build and operate a hydrogen refueling station in Lillestrøm. The company is owned by institute for energy Technology, akershus energi aS, Kunnskapsbyen Lillestrøm, Campus Kjeller aS and Skedsmo municipality.

The sources of energy for hydrogen production for the project: solar and bio energy, are both locally available and renewable. The goal is to create a “grid-neutral” hydrogen sta-tion; that is, the station is to deliver the same amount of electricity to the grid as it uses in the production of hydrogen. The station will be located in a highly innovative energy park owned by akershus energi, and will benefit from available biogas and heat.

Locally available land fill gas will be used for hydrogen production via a novel steam meth-ane reforming process called Se-SMr(Sorption enhanced Steam Methane reforming). The technology is being developed by iFe, and it features Co2 capture as a necessary part of the reforming process. Due to the removal of Co2, the hydrogen yield is also higher than for conventional steam methane reforming.

Solar energy will be harvested by photovoltaic panels attached to the production building, and will power a PeM electrolyser, which will be able to follow the intermittency of the solar energy.

another novel technology which will be demonstrated is Thermal Sorption Metal hydride Compression. Steam at 120˚C will be utilized for compressing hydrogen from 10 to 200 bar in a metal hydride compressor. heat for the compression can either come from the central heat plant or from the reforming process. Metal hydride compression can thus lower the electric energy used for compression significantly.

The station is scheduled for opening late fall 2010.

HySTorSyS aS hYSTorSYS (hydrogen Storage & Systems aS) is a Norwegian developer and manufacturer of hydrogen energy storage and compression systems based on metal hydrides.

Based on the unique long-term research expertice of institute for energy technology (iFe) on metal hydrides (Mh), the company was founded ultimo 2005. Together with iFe, hYS-TorSYS possesses experience on the complete hydrogen chain from fundamental under-standing of hydrogen-metal interactions to their use in experimental hydride-based energy systems.

mH-storages:one of the main advantages of a Mh-storage is the high hydrogen density at low pressures. even custom metal hydrides have volumetric densities higher than liquid hydrogen. This means that for a given volume, you can store more hydrogen in a Mh-storage than in a hydrogen storage based on liquification - and you will not need to bother about maintain-ing a low () temperature. in addition, in the Mh-system the hydrogen is chemically bound - and thus, not volatile or mortgaged with boil-off. Compared to compressed hydrogen, the Mh-system eliminates the need for expensive (energy and cost included) high-pressure compression, and have the property of an intrinsic safe system.

mH-compression:Machanical compressors are excellent devices for giving you a momentary pressure increase. Their main drawback is the energy consumption and maintenance interval. Mh-compressors, however, compress hydrogen without the need of a high-quality energy carrier such as electricity, but use heat (such as industrial waste-heat) for compression. in addition, thermal Mh-compressors are solide-state machines giving a minimum of moving parts and long maintenance interval.

Knutepunkt drammen Knutepunkt Drammen is connected to the national hyNor/hydrogenroad-project as a node along this road from oslo on the east coast of Norway to Stavanger on the west coast. Furthermore, Knutepunkt Drammen is a regional development project for commercial test-ing of new technology and knowledge-building, with a basis in Co2-neutral production of hydrogen based on organic waste (and renewable energy), as well as distribution and use of hydrogen for mobile and stationary purposes.

as a participant in the hyNor-project, the project will build up a pilot-production process for hydrogen at Lindum ressurs og gjenvinning aS, based on landfill gas in a first phase, but later also based on biogas from bioreactors and bio cells. The production process is the so-called iFe/Zeg-process developed by institutt for energiteknikk – Kjeller and Christian Michelsen institutt/Prototec aS - Bergen.

The climate-neutral hydrogen will be made available for local vehicles at the production site and at the gas-station Statoil Strømsø in the center of Drammen.

a small fleet of vehicles will be built up based on the hybrid Toyota Prius, fitted with a com-bustion engine rebuilt for hydrogen-fuel at Quantum Technology in California.

Facilities for testing fuel cells and hydrogen applications as well as hydrogen-based knowl-edge building will be carried out, connected to the new Drammen Kunnskapspark ”Papir-bredden” in close co-operation with Buskerud University College.

Local participants in Knutepunkt Drammen are the following companies and institutions:

Lindum ressurs og gjenvinning aS, Vardar aS, Drammen kommune, Buskerud fylkeskom-mune, rådet for Drammensregionen, Drammen Taxi, Buskerud University College and Stiftelsen Østfoldforskning.

n-Tec aS hYCoNeS - hydrogen storage in carbon cones.

n-Tec and its consortium partners (of which iFe is also a member) finished an eU funded research project called hYCoNeS at the end of 2009. hYCoNeS proved that the use of a new, leading-edge nanomaterial called carbon cones (CCs) could be used as a practical, inexpensive, lightweight, and high capacity h2 storage medium, capable of storing and releasing over 4 weight % of h2 at room temperature. Carbon cones are a new allotrope of carbon, fundamentally different from other known carbon structures and are composed of carbon microstructures in the form of flat discs and cones. The CCs consist of curved graphite sheets, where five different cone angles are possible respective of having one to five pentagons at the cone tips. Patented experiments clearly demonstrate unprecedented uptake-release of h2 compared to other carbon materials, as well as a new form of inter-action between carbon and h2 (in contrast to conventional physi- and chemi-sorption), capable of releasing h2 at room temperature. This unique behaviour was explained after ad-hoc computational calculations, which indicate that due to the special topology of CCs, the system is characterised by electronic properties distinctively different from any other form of activated or nanostructured carbon (bucky-balls, single- and multi-wall nanotubes). hYCoNeS main target is to develop a radically new h2 storage material with the potential to meet vehicle on-board storage requirements.

nordic Power Systems Nordic Power Systems is preparing for commercial market introduction of a diesel fuel cell generator (aPU). The aPU is virtually emission free, has at least 50% higher efficiency than a conventional generator, and may be used for both el & heat production. First deliver-ies of demonstrators are ongoing to selected partners. The diesel fuel cell aPU is regarded unique worldwide since it runs on conventional fuels like diesel and bio fuels. The technol-ogy has especially attracted the defense industry due to silence and high efficiency, as well as fuel robustness with regard to sulfur . examples of other identified markets are aPU for yachts, trucks (bans on idle running upcoming meaning a separate onboard power source is needed), residential heating, off grid power production, cooling aggregates, mobile homes / caravans and range extender for electric vehicles.

The patented system has been developed by the Technical University of aachen, germany and is based on a conversion process named cool flame reforming . The reformer converts hydrocarbon fuels to a hydrogen reformat gas which is fed into a hT PeM fuel cell. in 2006 Nordic Power Systems acquired the exclusive rights for commercialization of the unique technology. Currently the company is focusing on power ranges 1- 2 kw, but planning for larger systems as the technology is scaleable.

nTnu, department of chemical engineering Scientific engagement as of 2009:

35 MSc candidates (1 related to hydrogen)

84 PhD candidates (4 related to hydrogen)

19 Postdoctoral fellows (1 related to hydrogen)

84 scientific papers in international, peer-reviewed journals in 2008 (10 related to hydrogen)

The research activities are mainly related to hydrogen production and membrane separation and Co2 sorbent technologies, with some activities also within fuel cells.

Catalysis is important in the production of hydrogen from hydrocarbons. Natural gas iand biomass are important sources of hydrogen, and the conversion of transportable hydrogen carriers such as propane and(bio) alcohols is also studied. emerging reactor technologies such as microstructured reactors are being developed and tested and structured supports (monoliths, foams) are being studied for short contact time reaction systems such as partial oxidation.

Carbon molecular sieve membranes and mixed matrix materials are being investigated for the recovery of hydrogen from various mixed gas streams. Separation technology relevant to hydrogen energy also includes membranes for selective Co2 capture. (www.chemeng.ntnu.no/memfo)

The integration of Co2 and/or h2 separation technologies in hydrogen production processes is targeted through Co2 sorption enhanced reaction concepts, chemical looping and mem-brane reactors based on novel Pd thin film (SiNTeF) technology as well as high temperature oxygen membranes. The department is also involved in development of improved fuel cell catalysts based on carbon nanofibers.

Dynamic modelling and development of control strategies for fuel cell systems are also be-ing carried out (http://www.chemeng.ntnu.no/research/ProST/0041.html)

Collaborations include SiNTeF Materials and Chemistry, NTNU Dept. of Materials Technology and Dept. of Physics, The gas Technology Center at NTNU/SiNTeF, Forschungzentrum Karl-sruhe, germany, the eU project Naturalhy (FP 6), MiT, North Carolina State Univ. (NCSU) and Colorado School of Mines, USa, as well as Norwegian industry.

ruter as ruter is the Public Transport executive for the City of oslo (a county) and the surrounding county of akershus with more than 1 million inhabitants. ruter is responsible for plan-ning, procurement and marketing of public transport and is a limited company with two shareholders: oslo 60 % and akershus 40 %. in 2008 ruter had a ridership of 242 million passengers.

The transport operations are performed by various operators in accordance with their contracts with ruter. The contracts for the operation of bus routes and ferries are awarded based on competitive tendering.

ruter has an environmental strategy moving towards zero use of fossil fuels and reduc-tions in local air pollution and noise. ruter’s public transport includes emission-free electric trains, metro and trams. ruter has the objective to make all public transport environmen-tally friendly. ruter has taken the first step to convert it’s buses from fossil fuel operation to environmentally friendly biofuels, and has one line operating with 95% bioethanol. ruter also use biodiesel and is looking into biogas operation. Fuel-cell buses with hydrogen is an interesting option for the future and ruter has been granted funding for a hydrogen bus project from the local authorities in oslo and akershus.

a national Norwegian hydrogen project, hyNor (www.hynor.no), is building a ‘hydrogen road’ between Stavanger and oslo, with the aim of broad testing of hydrogen in the trans-port sector. The idea is to build an initial hydrogen infrastructure, as part of a future perma-nent infrastructure. ruter has joined the project node in oslo (hyNor oslo). hyNor oslo has operated a refuelling facility for private cars (located at a Statoil petrol station) in oslo since May 2009. The hyNor oslo project has an intention to establish a new refuelling facility for the hydrogen bus project in oslo.

ruter will be responsible for a contract with a bus operator in oslo and will coordinate the hydrogen bus project in oslo.

university of Bergen The Department of Physics and Technology offer Bachelor and Masters degrees as well as research projects aimed at PhD degrees in physics, process technology and nanotechnology, all relevant for the energy conversion industry, including hydrogen-related energy technol-ogy. research in hydrogen-related technology is within the field of fuel cells, particularly solid oxide fuel cells but expanding into other types. These activities are in collaboration with CMr Prototech aS.

The research has been concentrated in two areas:

1. materials research.a range of oxide nanoparticles relevant for ceramic fuel cells have been produced using a new, patented concept of the sol-gel process. These particles have been sintered to pro-duce functional materials, specifically electrolytes and anodes. Both powders and functional materials have been characterized using a range of analysis techniques. work is now in progress to produce thin layers for a new concept of planar solid oxide fuel cells.

2. modelling of fuel cells.a comprehensive numerical model for an SoFC cell combining CFD with modelling of the chemical reactions and heat flows has been built. The working of a variety of solid oxide fuel cell concepts has been investigated using this model. another modelling effort concen-trates on building a molecular model for the working of solid oxide fuel cell electrolytes. The influence of the configuration of the material, particularly the arrangement of the dopant ions and the effect of realistic grain boundaries, on the ion conductivity of the material is being investigated in this way.

Zero emission resource organization Zero – Zero emission resource organisation – is an environmental organisation that believes in a modern world without dangerous emissions. we are especially concerned with avoiding the emissions of Co2 and other gases that destroy the earth’s climate.

Zero’s foundational understanding is that despite pervasive pollution today, if action is not taken, we will see a continuation of pollution creators developed and built in the future. we are able to challenge the future because all types of vehicles and energy have only a limited lifetime. if all new vehicles, energy and industry facilities from now on use emission-free technologies, the emissions will gradually be reduced to zero as the old polluters are even-tually closed with age. Zero therefore believes it is vital that new vehicle, energy and in-dustry facilities are based on non-polluting alternatives. we have therefore chosen to focus our work on the non-polluting alternatives instead of working against the polluting ones.

opposing pollution does not mean we want to bring the world back to the stone-age. Zero has shown, and will continue to show, that all energy and transport services as well as all energy and transport needs can be provided without emissions. This can be achieved by committing to renewable energy and fossil fuels with carbon capture and through use of non-polluting energy carriers and fuels such as electricity, hydrogen, bio energy and water.

our work with hydrogen consists mainly of spreading information and working in hyNor – The hydrogen road of Norway. in the hyNor-project, Zero is the secretariat and works closely with the leader of the project. Zero is also coordinating the vehicle purchase and the homologation workpackage.

our main distribution channel for information is our website, www.zero.no/hydrogen where we publish technological and political news on hydrogen. we also work towards the mass media.
