City Busses with Fuel Cell Drive

摘要

1. Fuel cell drive Is a high efficient energy converter with advantages in city bus operations. 2. Technical solutions for hydrogen supply and storage are available, technology is close to CNG (compressed natural gas). 3. FC-costs are extremely higher compared to diesel, but FC development for vehicle propulsion is still at the beginning (high potentials). Hydrogen ICE will be a serious competitor. 4. Long term supply of hydrogen via renewable energies is today not available - very high demand for development 5. Methanol is not the solution for city buses due to reduced production potentials, efficiency disadvantages, well to wheel" and complexity of reformer.
