H H 1st AREHNA Workshop „Mobility-Environment-Health“, Kos, Greece, 3-5 May 2003 On the move with hydrogen The discovery of hydrogen:  hydrogen = ύδωρ-hydor (water) + γεννώ- gennο (generate)  hydrogen pioneers: Paracelsus, Robert Boyle, Henry Cavendish, Antoine Laurent Lavoisier  Two thirds of the Earth’s atmosphere is made up of H 2  On Earth H 2 : water (H 66%-O 33%), organic compound (H 48%-O 28%)

H H 1st AREHNA Workshop „Mobility-Environment-Health“, Kos, Greece, 3-5 May 2003  as a component of water, a resource available in large quantities  environmentally compatible as part of the biological life cycle  its oxidation creates pure water  easily transported and stored in compressed gas form or as a supercooled liquid  releases chemically stored energy in the form of heat, or in the form of electricity and heat in fuel cells  high energy content = suitable as fuel for cars H 2 as the energy source of tomorrow A storage medium for heat and electricity:  hydrogen = ideal energy source to bridge the time and distance gaps between supply and demand: energy source energy contentfuel for cars

H H 1st AREHNA Workshop „Mobility-Environment-Health“, Kos, Greece, 3-5 May 2003 On the way to our energy source of the future

H H 1st AREHNA Workshop „Mobility-Environment-Health“, Kos, Greece, 3-5 May 2003 On the way to our energy source of the future  Advantages of Sustainable Energy:  fossil fuel resources no longer burnt  cyclical system: hydrogen as well as the energy required to generate it are derived from renewable sources  combustion of hydrogen emits no greenhouse gases  local power supply in the home and cars

H H 1st AREHNA Workshop „Mobility-Environment-Health“, Kos, Greece, 3-5 May 2003 The next steps  development of a wide-ranging H 2 infrastructure  today: extraction of hydrogen from fossil-fuel resources (above all natural gas) – cost-effective but not ecological  aim: hydrogen production using renewable energy sources – production processes more expensive, but without CO 2 emissions On the way to our energy source of the future hydrogen production using renewable energy  reduction in costs through series production making the hydrogen economy financially competitive sources

H H 1st AREHNA Workshop „Mobility-Environment-Health“, Kos, Greece, 3-5 May 2003 On the way to our energy source of the future Cost Of H 2  Renewable energy sources: Solar power produced H 2 today has a cost of 21 € / KWh  Natural gas (CH 4 ) as a starting point has significant cost advantages (cost of 7 € / KWh)  Depends on the primary source of energy used:  During the transition phase: Use of “intelligent mix” of fossil and renewable fuel.  Possible Solution

H H 1st AREHNA Workshop „Mobility-Environment-Health“, Kos, Greece, 3-5 May 2003 The case of the electric car: How do you store electricity? The problem of storing electricity:  electrical energy can only be used when stored in an intermediate storage medium (e.g. as chemical energy in a battery)  expensive and inefficient additional stage The advantages of electrically powered cars:  quiet  over 90 % efficiency  low emissions

H H 1st AREHNA Workshop „Mobility-Environment-Health“, Kos, Greece, 3-5 May 2003 The solution: electric cars powered by fuel cells Batteries are not the alternative  cannot achieve the same energy density as petrol and diesel  not endlessly rechargeable  too expensive  too heavy and large  operating range limited to kilometres fuel cells  electricity generated from chemical reaction between hydrogen and oxygen  recharging not necessary due to onboard tank The case of the electric car: How do you store electricity?
