4th International Workshop on Hydrogen Infrastructure and Transportation

摘要

The 4th International Workshop on Hydrogen Infrastructure and Transportation took place in Egmond aan Zee (The Netherlands) on 24-25 May 2016. The workshop was conducted by the European Commission's Joint Research Centre and supported by US DOE, NOW from Germany and NEDO from Japan. The International Workshops on Hydrogen Infrastructure and Transportation aim at guiding and supporting industry to accelerate and facilitate the roll-out and commercialization of hydrogen refuelling stations. The 4th International Workshop has offered a forum for exchange of information through sharing experiences, best practices and progress on key and relevant issues facing hydrogen infrastructure deployment for fuel cell electric vehicles. Discussion topics included fuelling, H2 quality and metering, as well as utilization experiences of hydrogen refuelling stations.The series of international workshops is recognised by the main hydrogen infrastructure stakeholders as an interesting initiative because it brings together policy makers, and technical experts from industry and research organisations. While participation to the workshop is upon invitation and distribution of the material presented is limited to the attendants; it is nevertheless important to make the most relevant information publicly available. Therefore this JRC Report contains a compilation of the main information shared at the 4th International Workshop on Hydrogen Infrastructure and Transportation so that it can be used as reference material.The workshop was divided into topical sessions. The first session covered General Country/Region Overviews on policy initiatives, R&D, demonstration and deployment, investments and funding, etc. regarding hydrogen and fuel cell infrastructure. The other sessions aimed at discussing technical topics considered critical for the hydrogen infrastructure. In this report the most relevant information of each of the countries' overviews and the outcomes the four technical sessions are summarised.
