2. HYAPPROVAL : Uniformization of Hydrogen refuelling station approval processes
Facts
EIHP2 has succeeded in developing draft regulations for on board LH2 and CGH2 storages
EIHP2 has not finalized the refuelling station draft for regulation
With the return of experience of the CUTE project, approval procedures for installing and operating refuelling stations have been extremely painful and there have been as many approaches and safety requirements as projects
Objectives of the project
Finalize the draft for regulation of refuelling stations
Get approval feedback from existing projects such as CUTE
Elaborate an EU-uniform « handbook » for approval of Hydrogen refuelling stations
Test this handbook on one “virtual” refuelling station (same design installed in at least 4 different EU countries
Face US / Japanese standardization committees with a critical size

3. Consortium As of today (in expression of interest)
See logos (order and size of representation is random)
Balanced in terms of
Geographic distribution
Competences
Most are member of former CUTE / EIHP / ECTOS projects and current HYSAFE NoE
Envisaged final consortium should include
Representative of state regulation authorities and local authorities
Notified bodies
Fire departments
City councils
EU25 member states to initiate the H2 awareness in those countries

4. Approach to reach the project goals
Double entry leading organization
By country, as we would like to have as many refuelling stations as countries. We will need to have per country the following partners : safety / approval / Car / infrastructure / fire brigade with a leader
By work packages (ie field of activities) with leader recognized in their area all over the countries
Description of Work packages :
Refuelling station definition and requirements
Handbook
Infrastructure and deployment
Safety
International cluster activities
Vehicle requirements
Hardware is not a must, but results of preexisting projects (CUTE / EIHP / Hysafe) or current projects will be used
Prexisiting projects
