Roads2HyCom gives feedback on the HFP Implementation Plan

The European Hydrogen and Fuel Cell Technology Platform (HFP) has developed an "Implementation Plan" for future research, development and demonstration activity, including the proposed "Joint Technology Initiative". The final draft of this Plan was launched at their General Assembly at the start of October, together with a public invitation to provide feedback.

Roads2HyCom has created a comprehensive feedback document, using information generated in its first year of activity. This includes a "landscape" of European technology development (generated from the "researchers questionnaire" on this website); studies of the State of the Art in various technologies; Costs and Capacities for Hydrogen supply; and analysis of the motivatons of early-adopting Communities (again, derived from the "Registration of Interest" on this website)

The Roads2HyCom feedback document can be downloaded as a "pdf" file from download?page. More information on the draft Implementation Plan is available at www.hfpeurope.org. ",">") encodeHTML=sHTML end function Response.Write encodeHTML(sContent) %>

HyLights, Roads2HyCom and the Hydrogen and Fuel Cells Technology Platform (HFP)

The European Commission is supporting the Coordination Action ?HyLights? and the Integrated Project ?Roads2HyCom? in the field of Hydrogen and Fuel Cells. The two projects support the Commission in the monitoring and coordination of ongoing activities of the HFP, and provide input to the HFP for the planning and preparation of future research and demonstration activities within an integrated EU strategy.

The two projects are complementary and are working in close coordination. HyLights focuses on the preparation of the large scale demonstration for transport applications, while Roads2Hycom focuses on identifying opportunities for research activities relative to the needs of industrial stakeholders and Hydrogen Communities that could contribute to the early adoption of hydrogen as a universal energy vector.

Further information on HyLights is available on the project web-site www.hylights.org.
