1 The role of Hydrogen in Sustainable Mobility Gérard Planche Adam Opel AG Hannover Messe, April 23rd 2012

2 Million barrels per day I cannot help but show this chart again and again! The oil age: like a candle in the night Year

3 Advanced Propulsion Strategy at Opel Hydrogen Stored electricity Biofuels (E 85, biogaz, biodiesel) Reduction of emissions and increased fuel economy Fossil fuels (gasoline, diesel, NG) Hybrids, E-Flex FCEV Flex-fuel Optimized ICE Sort-term Medium-term Long-term Hydrogen Infrastructure & Distribution

5 Onboard storage of energy: Systems weight and volumes for a 500 km range Passenger Car Diesel Compressed hydrogen, 700 bar 6 kg H 2 = 200 kwh chemical energy Lithium-Ion battery 100 kwh electric energy System Fuel System Fuel System Cells 43 kg 33 kg 125 kg 6 kg 830 kg 540 kg 46 L 37 L 260 L 170 L 670 L 360 L

6 Different profiles require different solutions for optimal propulsion technology Load profile Heavy duty Driving Profile Stop-and-Go (Urban traffic) Constant speed (Freeway) Light duty

7 Typical daily commute 25% 20% 80% of daily trips under 50 km 15% 10% 5% 0% > 100 km Source: Mobilität in Deutschland, 2002

8 Opel RAK e Concept Power: 36,5 kw / 10,5 kw (max./nom.) V-max: 120 km/h Acceleration (0-100 km/h): ~ 13 s Range: 100 km Time to charge: ~3 h Energy cost: ~ 1 / 100 km

9 Opel Ampera Electric vehicle with Range Extender (E-REV) km Pure battery range > 500 km Range extender

10 Recharge batteries fine, but where?

11 Why Fuel Cell Electric Vehicles? Long range without restrictions in vehicle size or functionalities Permanent Zero emissions Fast refueling (~3 min.), without occupying parking space

12 Why Fuel Cell Electric Vehicles? Long range without restrictions in vehicle size or functionalities Permanent Zero emissions Fast refueling (~3 min.), without occupying parking space Hydrogen in future Energy Systems: Multiple primary energy sources Storage of renewable energies Transfer of renewable energies onto the road Energy independance

13 Opel HydroGen4 GM s 4th generation FC System with increased versatility, dynamics and durability Starts and operates in sub-zero temperatures Power: 73 kw Torque: 320 Nm Acceleration (0-100 km/h): 12 s Fuel: 4,2 kg CGH 2 (700 bar) Range: 320 km (NEDC) V-max: 160 km/h

14 HydroGen4: one piece of a global project Sacramento Los Angeles Detroit Rochester New York Washington DC Berlin Schanghai Seoul Tokio Hawaii World s largest market test, with over 100 vehicles More than 3 million km driven

15 Clean Energy Partnership (CEP) European Lighthouse Project for FCEVs Objective: demonstrate convenient and everyday use of hydrogen in answering mobility needs Phase II ( ): Cities: Berlin, Hamburg 4 Refueling Stations Over 40 vehicles Nordrhein- Westfalen Hessen Hamburg Berlin Phase III ( ): New regions: NRW, B-W, Hessen More than 10 stations Over 100 vehicles Baden- Württemberg

16 What are the next steps?

17 FCEVs today: achievements and challenges Useable power Hydrogen storage Cold start and function Reliability Hydrogen infrastructure Durability Costs

18 Germany as key market for FCEVs and hydrogen infrastructure OEMs LoU : Commercialization planned as of 2015 Germany as Lead Market Infrastructure Initiative H 2 Mobility : Phase I (until 2011): developement of a Business Plan Phase II (das of 2011): increase of geographic coverage

28 The long-term problem with Sun and Wind

29 Storage: pumping water in a dam reservoir This much could be fed into a large pump storage: 8,000 MWh Buffer capacity for some minutes / hours

30 Storage: Vehicle To Grid 8,000 MWh Corresponds to 4 million electric vehicles at the grid with 2 kwh buffer Buffer capacity for some minutes / hours

31 Storage: compressed air in underground caverns This much could be fed into an underground compressed air storage (2 mil. m 3 salt cavern): 4,000 MWh Buffer capacity for some minutes / hours

32 Hydrogen The Inevitable Element in the Renewable Energy System This much could be fed into an underground hydrogen reservoir (2 mil. m 3 salt cavern): 600,000 MWh (equals 3.6 mil. tank fills) Buffer capacity for month / years
