1 National strategy for alternative fuels infrastructure Konrad Pütz Transnova Regional Power for Clean Transport, October 30 th 2013

2 About Transnova Transnova is a Norwegian governmental tool for climate-efficient transport, preparing sustainable mobility solutions for the marketplace Our main goal is to contribute to reduce national CO2- emissions from the transport sector (land, sea and air) To achieve this we support a large variety of projects with participants from research, business, NGOs and local authorities.

3 Our role Reducing institutional, economical and technical barriers to stimulate widespread use of clean and renewable fuels and improved technologies and transport solutions. Typical effects of projects we support can be reduced cost, improved knowledge, new standards, improved economics of scale, new fuel or charging infrastructure, cluster and learning effects etc. Around 10 mill Euro yearly, gradually increase of funds is announced, but not realized

4 What we support We engage in projects after proof of concept and are mainly operating at the pilot and demonstration stages of R&D. We are mainly supporting projects that are: Replacing fossil fuel with renewable or clean fuels Improving transport systems: Public transport in stead of private cars Energy efficient modes of transport (sea and rail) in stead of lorries Reducing transport and travel volumes

5 Norway in a Nutshell High income country with a population of fast implementers of new technologies. 5 mill people, 2,5 mill cars, size similar to Germany and Japan Large exporter of oil and gas Implementation of Renewable Energy Directive will increase Norways share of renewable energy from 61 to 67,5%, mainly through a common 26,4 Twh certificate market with Sweden 95% hydroelectric electricity production, in balance today, but surplus is expected up to 2020 Some strong industries, including processing industry, suppliers to the automotive industry, maritime industries and oil and gas. High car prices combined with strong incentives for zero emisson vehicles have led to very successful roll-out of BEV

6 Incentives for Zero Emission Vehicles No purchase tax and VAT on zero emission vehicles Free parking at public parking spots Free use of public transport lanes Reduced annual taxes Free use of state ferries and toll roads

7 Hydrogen: Status Six stations running in and around Oslo, three established by EU/Transnova-fundet projects (H2Moves/CHIC- Oslo/HyNor Lillestrøm) three established by Statoil and Hydro. today most are managed and owned by HYOP 18 FCEV and five busses Mercedes B-class F-cell Hyundai ix-35 F-cell Think City H2EV) Van Hool FC-Busses 15 reengineered Toyota Prius and four Mazda Rx-8 RE came to Norway from 2006 and are phased out

8 Public HRS in Norway

9 Hydrogen: Main challenges No official strategy for rolling out infrastructure or vehicles Limited industry engagement into hydrogen related activities and very difficult to secure private funding for infrastructure Limited involvement from energy companies

10 EV s status 9 % of total car sales in September 2013 Totally > EV s in Norway 75 % privately owned Above scenario for 10 % BEV/PHEV cars on the road by 2020

11 Charging facilities 4500 public charging points, around 1900 funded by Transnova 80 fast chargers of which 54 supported by Transnova, typically around 45% public funding. Mainly Chademo fast chargers, but funding is now directed towards supplementing charging stations with Combined Charging Similar deployment strategy as HRS: To establish fast chargers in clusters in «large» cities, and connecting them through chargers along main corridors. Transnova is developing a strategy for the deployment and financing of charging infrastructure (to be finalized 2013). The strategy will also deal with issues related to access and payment systems (interoperability).

12 Biogas Twelve publicly acessible stations provide CBG (of which Transnova has funded 7) Around 400 busses can potentially run on LBG Probably less than 500 vehicles are using CNG Norway is a leading technology provider and user of LNG for maritime applications, and this can potentially be an important segment for biogas.

13 Strategies? White paper on climate April 2012: Norway s average CO2-emissions from cars shall be below 85 g CO2/km by 2020, [amongst others] through being internationally in front in facilitating the use of EV s and hydrogen vehicles. Parliament Climate Consensus June 2012: Today s tax incentives for zero emission vehicles will be continued to late 2017 as long as vehicle numbers are below The Government has established the Norwegian Hydrogen Council (still active) and the Norwegian Resource Group for Electrification of Road Transport (not active). They have produced action plans and targets. Some elements of the action plans are now public policies, but so far no public strategies or road maps have been developped Work on a Norwegian Biogas strategy is ongoing but publication delayed. Transnova can produce and implement strategies as long as they are within our own limited budgets. The County of Akershus is leading the way with its own hydrogen strategy
