Anne Marit Hansen, Hydrogen Business Unit – September 10 th, 2005 Industrial prospective – round table

Norsk Hydro basis on hydrogen – industrial experiences Safety is one key challenge when hydrogen is introduced in the public marketplace Industrial expertise is utilised when hydrogen is introduced in new energy markets Current standards and regulations on hydrogen are not adjusted to the needs in the public marketplace

Hydro approach - business development in demo projects ECTOS CUTE UTSIRA CEP BERLIN

Utsira wind-hydrogen plant safe and innovative Utsira supplies 100% renewable power to 10 households Storage of wind power by hydrogen is tested in full scale Information to the Utsira community done – 30% of the inhabitants participated

Utsira – simplified system description

CUTE/ECTOS/STEP –Demo-project for Hydrogen to transportation in Europe and Australia CUTE:28 partners in 9 cities Budget52,4 mill € EU support: 18,6 mill € Schedule: 12/ /2006 CUTE:27 buses ECTOS:3 buses GOALS: Hydrogen production and fuelling as well as operation of fuel cell buses Stockhol m Amsterdam Barcelon a Luxemburg Stuttgart London Porto Madrid  On site production with electrolysis  Central /on site production from natural gas  Central production based on oil Reykjavik (ECTOS) Hamburg

Incident reporting in the CUTE, ECTOS and STEP Common incident report form in use Incident reports are uploaded on the CUTE web Feedback on investigations, corrective actions and status

Hydrogen and fuel cell technology in varying conditions – different safety issues Different climate conditions, topography, traffic conditions and bus - routes Different cultures on operation issues

A Healthy fuel in a Safe design for a better Environment

Thank you for your kind attention Norsk Hydro 0246 OSLO Norway

The demonstration activities gives valuable input from the market Communication Input on technology and system matureness Input on industry requirements and standards

Reporting of incidents A report form developed by Air Liquid, BP, Shell, DC, Hydro and other members The form is currently used by the project partners

Main group of incidents Components with problems - Compressors - Fuelling hose – breakaway coupling - Fuelling nozzle - Dispenser - On-site production - Pipe-work Hamburg refuelling station

Number of safety incidents on components Close to 50% of all incidents are located in the part of the hydrogen station that operated by the user.

The process of approval is time consuming Close cooperation between authorities and other stakeholders necessary Comprehensive information required
