Hydrogen Strategy Outlines actions required over the next 10 years to cement the city as a leader in the emerging hydrogen and fuel cells sector Opportunities to diversify activities Deploy first generation vehicles Support Aberdeen city council as early adopter for new vehicle types

The Four Strands for Scotland Renewable Hydrogen generation HRS infrastructure deployment Fuel cell bus fleet deployment Council fleet FCEV deployment

FCH-JU Commercialisation Study Deploy 300-500 buses across Europe 2017- 2020 Build a Hydrogen Refuelling infrastructure across Europe Commercialise the technologies PURPOSE OF STUDY Because one of the key areas of focus was large scale FC bus deployment, in April 2014 Aberdeen City Council signed up to the FCHJU project on behalf of the Scottish Cities Alliance to try to take this strand of the strategy forward. The purpose of the Commercialisation Study is to bring forward 4 commercial scale hydrogen fuel cell bus business cases including concept engineering for a total of up to 500 buses to be deployed throughout Europe by 2020. This is in order to: Reach economies of scale to reduce the total cost of FC buses; Introduce a European-wide network of hydrogen refueling infrastructure; The 500 bus threshold has been provided by bus manufacturers as the level of scale required to significantly reduce the cost of FC buses.

LoU Handover Ceremony in Brussels, 12 November 2014 > Olaf Scholz, First Mayor of Hamburg, clearly indicated commitment to large scale roll-out of FC buses in Hamburg – This was underlined in an interview published in the Handelsblatt, a major German daily newspaper with business focus > Kit Malthouse, Deputy Mayor of London, underlined the importance of FC buses and called upon the industry to take the next step, indicating that the "bride" (policy and operators) was ready and awaiting a marriage proposal from the groom (industry), i.e. clearer industry commitment and lower prices > Prof. Mohrdieck, Director Drive Development Fuel Cell System Daimler presented cost projections indicating that the FC bus purchasing price can be on the level of the price of a hybrid diesel in the long run Left to right: First Mayor Olaf Scholz (Hamburg), Deputy Mayor Kit Malthouse (London), Filip van Hool (CEO Van Hool), Dariusz Michalak (Deputy CEO Solaris), Rémi Henkemans (Managing Director VDL Bus & Coach), Gustav Tuschen (Head of Product Engineering Daimler Buses) > All OEMs underlined commitment to invest in the technology as stated in the LoU

Working in Partnership “The Fuel Cell Hydrogen Joint Undertaking is very pleased to see the commitment of Scotland as a pioneer in fuel cell and hydrogen for public transport bus applications and as a cornerstone for future self reliance in energy provision” Bert de Colvenaer, Executive Director, FCH JU 18
