Roads2HyCom publishes the first volume of ?“Hydrogen and Fuel Cells ?– A Handbook for Communities?”

The Handbook for Communites is aimed at community stakeholders who are interested in becoming involved with hydrogen and fuel cell (H2&FC) technology. The first volume, just published, is intended as an introduction for someone who has little knowledge about H2&FC. It discusses the potential role which H2&FC could play in world energy systems, the anticipated route to such a future, and the role of communities along that route.

The later two volumes go into more detail, instructing communities on how to successfully engage with H2&FC technology: conducting detailed feasibility studies, running initial projects and developing long term strategic plans. These volumes will be published over the coming months.

Volume A has drawn on research conclusions from within Roads2HyCom and has benefited from the direct participation of several partners. It was edited by Element Energy.

These reports are available to download from www.roads2hy.com/pub_download.asp.

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.
