Hyundai Motor partners European initiative to fuel hydrogen-powered mobility

- Partnership reinforces commitment to delivering sustainable future mobility

- Funding secured for delivery of ix35 Fuel Cell vehicles in six European cities

- HyFIVE project will support viability and uptake of fuel cell vehicles



Offenbach, 3 April 2014

Hyundai Motor aims to deliver 75 units of its pioneering hydrogen-powered ix35 Fuel Cell as part of the largest ever pan-European fuel-cell passenger car project. The Hydrogen For Innovative Vehicles (HyFIVE) project, funded by the Fuel Cells and Hydrogen Joint Undertaking, will see deliveries made in Bolzano, Copenhagen, Innsbruck, London, Munich and Stuttgart.

President of Hyundai Motor Europe, Byung Kwon Rhim attended today’s launch of the new initiative at London’s City Hall, and set out the company’s commitment to developing and delivering mobility solutions that are innovative and sustainable. Hyundai Motor is the world’s first car manufacturer to assembly-line build hydrogen fuel-cell vehicles.

As part of the project, the existing pan-European refuelling infrastructure will be expanded significantly, providing greater choice and convenience to early adopters of fuel cell electric vehicle technology.

President Rhim, on the launch of the project in London, commented: “Hyundai Motor has been a world leader in the development of hydrogen fuel-cell technology since 1998, and this latest partnership will help to further raise awareness of hydrogen power as a long-term transport solution. By delivering more vehicles for use on Europe’s roads, we will work with the other project partners to advance the awareness, understanding, viability and uptake of vehicles such as ix35 Fuel Cell.”

The multi-million Euro HyFIVE project is being managed by the Greater London Authority. Partners include vehicle manufacturers BMW, Daimler, Honda and Toyota, and industrial gas companies Air Products, Copenhagen Hydrogen Network, ITM Power, Linde and OMV. Other signatories include energy consultancies and the European Fuel Cell and Hydrogen Joint Undertaking.

In total, the project aims to deliver 110 fuel-cell vehicles from the five manufacturers, including 75 from Hyundai Motor.

Hyundai Motor has already supplied examples of the ix35 Fuel Cell to customers in Denmark, France, Germany, Sweden and the UK. The ix35 Fuel Cell emits only water from its tailpipe and is fitted with a 100 kW (136 ps) electric motor, allowing it to reach a maximum speed of 160 km/h. A pair of hydrogen tanks, located between the vehicle’s rear wheels, enable the vehicle to travel up to 594 km on a single fuelling.

ITM Power in renewable fertiliser project

ITM Power is leading a consortium that, subject to final contract, has been awarded £1.37m in co-funding from the UK's innovation agency, the Technology Strategy Board, under its Agri-Tech programme. The project is to design and build a system for the production of renewable fertiliser. The integrated electrolyser based pilot scale system will be trialled at the UK farm owned by Waitrose. ITM Power will receive approximately £0.6m of the project funding. Chief executive Dr Graham Cooley said: "ITM Power is delighted to be working with Waitrose to produce renewable fertiliser at its UK farm. The widespread deployment of our technology has the potential to dramatically reduce the material greenhouse gas emissions associated with fertiliser production globally. This is a new and exciting market for us."

Storage could be the key to UK's energy future

Occupying my usual quiet corner at the Royal Academy of Engineering for the latest in its series of innovation seminars — this time on energy — I was heartened by the presence on the programme of some representatives of the often neglected and overlooked part of the energy mix, namely storage.

It’s a bit of a mystery why we hear so little about energy storage as it’s an absolutely vital part of the ongoing task of decarbonising energy. In a world where energy is harder to come by, owing to depletion of hydrocarbons or an unwillingness to burn them, it becomes ever more important to be able to store energy which isn’t being used at any given moment, in whatever form of energy you store it — chemical, electricity, motion or heat.

Energy storage is one of the Technology Strategy Board’s targets for funding in emerging energy systems, but as yet we’ve seen no large scale trials of grid-connected energy storage. And this isn’t because technologies don’t exist. There are several, ranging from container-sized batteries using lithium-ion and other chemistries, able to store about a megawatt-hour, to Highview Power’s cryogenic system which uses momentarily-unneeded generating capacity to liquefy air, which can then be vapourised and expanded through a gas turbine to regenerate the electricity when it’s needed. Another intriguing possibility raised at the RAEng meeting is to use the same unneeded capacity to electrolyse water and store the resulting hydrogen in the UK’s existing natural gas grid; hydrogen and methane mix very well, and the addition of hydrogen in moderate amounts does not affect methane’s combustion characteristics. Adding biogas methane as well would, explained Graham Cooley, CEO of ITM Power, go some way towards decarbonising heating, which is responsible for some 40 per cent of CO2 emissions and a significant quantity of natural gas consumption in the UK.

Energy storage is, of course, most often connected with the growth in renewable generation. This, the thinking goes, is so intermittent that it can’t work at all without some method to store electricity gluts so that they can be shunted onto the grid when there’s no wind, or it clouds over, the sea is calm or the tide is slack. This isn’t actually true. Wind and waves are certainly intermittent, but that intermittency is extremely localised: if it isn’t windy at one windfarm site, there’s a very high chance that nearby ones will have good wind characteristics; similarly, the latest generations of photovoltaics still generate in cloudy conditions. Moreover, wind, wave and solar tend to complement each other, if deployed as an array; if it’s windy, the waves will be high a little later; and sunny weather tends to occur in calmer conditions. Despite this, it is true that storage, possibly organised on a regional basis, is needed. Another possibility is to use pumped hydroelectric storage: Norway is already developing a business storing Germany’s excess electricity in its fjords, and if no new pumped-storage systems could be built in the UK (it’s highly geography-dependent, and most of the suitable landscape in Britain is protected) could also take advantage of this.

However it’s done, it must be a priority to establish storage as part of the British energy landscape as soon as possible. It will not only help prepare us for the future energy landscape, it will help calm those sceptics who doubt the practicality of low-carbon energy generation.

London Mayor to lead coaliton of auto-giants in clean vehicle project

A coalition of car and fuel cell manufacturers has signed up to a £31 million project that aims to roll out a new fleet of low-emissions hydrogen vehicles across Europe.

The HyFive scheme is being co-ordinated by London Mayor Boris Johnson’s Office and is aiming to deploy 110 hydrogen fuel cell vehicles in London, Munich, Stuttgart, Bolzano in Italy, Copenhagen and Innsbruck, Austria.

BMW, Daimler, Honda, Hyundai and Toyota are the five auto giants that will participate in the scheme.

The HyFive project is set to deploy new standardised refuelling infrastructure across Europe with three new refuelling stations set to be installed in London, two in Denmark and one in Austria by next year.

The project will also make use of existing infrastructure, including Air Products' stations at Heathrow Airport and Stratford.

London Mayor Boris Johnson said: "To sell this technology we need to show Londoners and the wider world that it is not science fiction. By building the vehicles and the filling stations and allowing people to kick the tyres we will be able to demonstrate that hydrogen is a viable option and that London is at the forefront of efforts to make it so."

The project is being financed by the Fuel Cells and Hydrogen Joint Undertaking (FCH JU) and in total brings together 15 partners, including Copenhagen Hydrogen Network, ITM Power, Linde, OMV, Element Energy, PE INTERNATIONAL, the Institute for Innovative Technology and the European Fuel Cell and Hydrogen Joint Undertaking, as well as the above mentioned five automakers.
