Development, DEployment and Assessment of Infrastructures and Fleets based on Hythane and Hydrogen as Alternative Fuels for Transport

Objective

The EC aims to substitute 5% of transport fuel with hydrogen by 2020. This projects aims to demonstrate routes to the short to medium term commercial uptake of hydrogen as a fuel within the European transport mix. This will be achieved through practical modification of existing technology (internal combustion engine vehicles) to operate on hydrogen and hydrogen/natural gas blends (Hythane). In this way, substantial CO2 reduction and air quality benefits are achieved and infrastructure deployment is facilitated, with vehicles which can be operated at affordable costs.
With an overall objective of developing and deploying low-emission transport systems at a fast pace in European cities, the specific objectives of the project Hyt-Hy are:
- Use of hydrogen as an alternative transport fuel, produced as primary or waste stream in a chemical plant orthrough small 'on-site' production facilities
- Demonstration and evaluation of hydrogen as an alternative fuel via field tests of car fleets with hydrogen Ivehicles) to operate on hydrogen and hydrogen/natural gas blends (Hythane).
