Preface
Hydrogen technologies are maturing at rapid speed, something we experience in Norway
and around the globe every day as demonstration projects for vehicles and infrastructure
expand at a rate unthinkable of only a few years ago. An example of this evolution happened in Norway in 2009 when two hydrogen filling stations were opened on May the 11th,
making it possible to arrange the highly successful Viking Rally from Oslo to Stavanger with
more than 40 competing teams. The Viking Rally demonstrated for the public that batteryand hydrogen-electric vehicles are technologies that exist today and provide a real alternative for zero emission mobility in the future. The driving range of the generation of vehicles
put into demonstration today is more than 450 km on a full hydrogen tank, comparable
to conventional vehicles. As the car industry develops the next generation of vehicles for
serial production within the next 4-5 years, we will see vehicles that are more robust, more
reliable and cost effective. Also on the hydrogen production and distribution side progress
is being made, and since renewable hydrogen from biomass and electrolysis is capable of
making mobility basically emission free, hydrogen can be a key component in combating
climate change and reducing local emissions.
The research Council of Norway has for many years supported the development of hydrogen and fuel cell technologies, and The Research Council firmly believes that hydrogen
and fuel cell technologies play a crucial role in the energy system of the future. Hydrogen
is a flexible transportation fuel, and offers possibilities for storing and balancing intermittent electricity in the energy system. Norwegian companies, research organisations and
universities have during the last decade developed strong capabilities in hydrogen and fuel
cell technologies, capabilities it is important to further develop so that Norwegian actors
can supply high class hydrogen and fuel cell technologies to global markets. The Norwegian
Hydrogen Forum has shown itself as a visible actor in the hydrogen community in Norway
and abroad, and will undoubtedly play an important role in developing this industry. I hope
this second version of the Hydrogen guide provides a useful tool to facilitate cooperation in
this maturing industry, enabling knowledge sharing and industry growth.

Norwegian Hydrogen Strategy
Strategy for hydrogen as an energy carrier in transport and stationary
energy supply in Norway
Hydrogen is an energy carrier that can be produced from all types of energy sources,
including natural gas and renewable energy, both of which Norway has in abundance.
Although the use of hydrogen does not create harmful emissions, the overall effect on the
environment will depend on how the hydrogen is produced and transported to the consumer. The greatest environmental benefits of the use of hydrogen as an energy carrier are
foreseen in the transportation sector.
Norwegian research communities and industrial stakeholders are at the forefront of the
development of key technologies that are necessary in order to be able to utilise hydrogen
as an energy carrier. This work has been closely linked to research and development activities financed by, among others, the Research Council of Norway. Norwegian players are also
heavily involved in various hydrogen projects under the EU’s Framework Programme for
Research, Technological Development and Demonstration Activities. The substantial international activity is a prerequisite for the Norwegian efforts in this field. At the same time, Norway as an energy nation has a special responsibility to take active part in the international
efforts to develop hydrogen as an energy carrier, as this will contribute to a more robust
transition towards a fully sustainable and non-fossil based energy system.
In 2005 the Ministries of Petroleum and Energy and Transport and Communications
launched their strategy which led to the establishment of the Norwegian Hydrogen Platform
and the nomination of the Norwegian Hydrogen Council as an advisory body to the Ministries. According to its terms of reference The Hydrogen Council published (December 2006)
the first Action Plan 2007-2010, with a set of concrete actions, activities and measures to
help solve the challenges and exploit the opportunities that exist in the field of hydrogen.
The Action Plan was met with substantial support across the national stakeholders, and has
also received considerable attention abroad. Acknowledging the long term aspects of introducing hydrogen as energy carrier and the challenging global economic situation, the execution of the recommended actions has only partly been successful. Despite this, Norway
is still in a leading position internationally, and the national political support is strengthened
through the new government’s Soria Moria II-declaration. The establishment of the governmental body Transnova has been the most important outcome of the current Action Plan.
Demonstration of the world’s first marine supply vessel with fuel cells is another achievement worth mentioning.
In the coming period Norwegian engagement in the international efforts is of highest
strategic importance, in particular the newly established European public private partnership, the Fuel Cells and Hydrogen Joint Undertaking. This includes participation in R&D and
demonstration projects as well as engagement in leading strategic positions for further
development of the program. Links to Asian countries and North America will also to be
strengthened.

Utsira
On Utsira, an island 20 km off the west coast of Norway, the world’s first full scale
autonomous wind-hydrogen system is being demonstrated. Since 2004 ten households
have gotten their electricity exclusively from wind generated electricity and hydrogen. The
project is now into its 5th year of testing. The project is owned by Statoil and operated in
collaboration with Enercon from Germany. The project now has 2 years in stand-alone mode
and improvements of the system are continuously being added.
HyNor
The HyNor project is a joint public-private partnership initiated to demonstrate real life implementation of hydrogen energy infrastructure along a 580 kilometer road stretch from Oslo
to Stavanger. The first station came in Stavanger in 2006 and the second one in Porsgrunn
in 2007. On May 11th 2009, which marked the official opening date of the hydrogen highway, two new filling stations were opened in Oslo and Drammen. A hydrogen- and batteryelectric zero emission vehicle rally, Viking Rally, was held in conjunction with the opening
of HyNor and the 24th electric vehicle symposium. Due to Viking Rally’s success a new rally
will be held in 2010, and will go under the name ZeroRally. Many international teams are
expected to participate in the rally. Several additional stations are planned to open in the
near future, the first one in Lillestrøm in 2010 and two additional stations in Oslo in 2011.
A fleet of 17 fuel cell vehicles will arrive with the new stations, making the total amount of
hydrogen vehicles in Norway close to 40. Efforts are also being made for the procurement of
5 hydrogen fuel cell buses, resulting in a strong hydrogen cluster in the Oslo region.

The Norwegian Hydrogen Guide 2010
Another important demonstration project, FellowSHIP, demonstrates fuel cell systems
for auxiliary ship power. This technology will also be well-suited for applications in the
offshore petroleum sector. A 320 kW molten-carbonate fuel cell (MCFC) operating on LNG
was installed in an offshore supply vessel, Viking Lady in the fall of 2009. The ship is owned
by Eidesvik, a Norwegian ship manufacturer. The fuel cell is functioning well and tests will
continue in 2010. The goal of the testing and technology development is increasing the
main power pack to such a degree that it becomes large enough to supply necessary power
for propulsion of large ships.
In Bergen, a small passenger ferry, MF Vågen, has been equipped with metal hydride storage tanks, fuel cells and electric motors. The technological solution is tailored and implemented by Prototech. The ferry has a passenger capacity of 20 people. It is scheduled to go
into operation in April 2010 and will carry passengers from the fish market at Bryggen to
Nordnes in the Bergen harbor.

The Norwegian Hydrogen Forum
The Norwegian Hydrogen Forum (NHF) was founded in 1996. NHF is a non-profit organization which promotes the advantages of hydrogen as an alternative energy carrier. Our
members span Norwegian industry, universities, research institutes and other organizations
interested in hydrogen. NHF is also open for personal memberships.
NHF works as an active contributor to disseminate information about hydrogen in Norway
through organizing seminars and workshops and keeping the forum’s website www.hydrogen.no updated with the latest relevant news on hydrogen, both with regards to Norway
and the international community. NHF has arranged national conferences on hydrogen, and
has also jointly with its Nordic sister-organizations arranged the Nordic Hydrogen Conferences. The last one was held in November 2009 in Oslo and had close to 100 participants.
NHF is also an active and constructive partner to public authorities and other organizations in the development of a future-oriented industry policy where hydrogen plays a role.
Another important role of NHF is stimulating to startups and involving small companies in
the emerging hydrogen market.
International collaboration and information exchange is getting ever more important. NHF
is thus an active member of the European Hydrogen Association, and meets with the other
European associations regularly.
From January 2010, NHF has together with the Norwegian Hydrogen Council engaged a
full time, joint secretary position in order to intensify the work of NHF and make its impact
stronger. We therefore encourage new members to join the organization.

Design and production of a norwegian HCNG concept car, the FYK (www.fyk.no), done in cooperation with Statoil, is a demonstration project initialized by Aetek, intended to heighten
public awareness of hydrogen and hydrogen/natural gas mixtures. In the long run, a potential future hydrogen society depends to a large degree on market acceptance. Hydrogenfuelled vehicles must therefore be preferred not only for environmental reasons.
Able to go from to conceptualization to design and production of fully functioning prototypes, Aetek firmly believes in sustainable innovation - projects utilizing other alternative
fuels are therefore also on the drawing board. Rather than confining R&D to controlled laboratory environments, Aeteks prefers taking its projects on the road, and into the media, in
order to maximize attention given to opinions, technical solutions and cooperating partners.

In 2001 we constructed a 50 W PEMFC model truck fueled by pressurized hydrogen. The
model truck was presented in media to a broad audience (e.g. NRK TV /radio, newspapers,
etc.). In 2004 we introduced the first full scale FC vehicle in Norway, the so-called “Caretaker Vehicle”, which was presented several times on Norwegian TV. It has also created a good
response abroad (e.g. invitation to the Hannover Fair).The vehicle is a mobile DC/AC aggregate transporting one person. The vehicle is based on 1200W PEMFC and fueled by pressurized hydrogen, 5800 l stored on board. In 2006 we constructed an advanced fuel cell boat
model for the so-called Fellowship organization. It can be mentioned that the FC boat model
applies the Kongsberg Maritime positioning system. Hydrogen is stored in MH. The model
has been successfully shown at several fairs both in Norway and abroad, promoting the Fellowship project. The final goal for the Fellowship project is to construct a full scale FC based
supply ship. In 2007 we built a full scale 21 feet fuel cell boat which was the first FC boat in
Scandinavia. The boat is a FC (2.4 kW)/battery hybrid, fueled by both pressurized- and MH
stored hydrogen. The project was a co-work with Vestfold University College and was fully
financed by the counties in our region (Buskerud, Vestfold and Telemark). The boat created
a lot of interest both in Norway and abroad.

GasPlas AS
Groundbreaking Technology & Innovation
GasPlas AS has developed a groundbreaking new cold plasma technology for production of hydrogen from bio- or natural gas. This technology enables a truly clean hydrogen
transport system with no CO2 emissions from well to wheel. Effective distribution of H2 can
now be achieved using existing universal natural gas networks and generating hydrogen
on-­demand at point of use. Carbon can be collected as powder and used as a high valued
product (Carbon Capture and Use — CCU) and expensive CO2 capture technology is not
needed (Carbon Capture and Storage — CCS).
What is plasma? And why do we use microwaves? Plasma is the fourth state of matter and
is by far the most common one in the universe both by mass and volume. Its properties
are quite different from solids, liquids and gases. For plasma to exist, ionization is necessary. The degree of ionization of plasma is the proportion of atoms or molecule, which have
lost (or gained) electrons. Since plasma is highly conductive, magnetism and electrical free
electrons will affect it. By using microwaves the bonding between electrons and molecules
in hydrocarbon gasses will loosen. We can therefore separate hydrogen gas and carbon
powder.
Summary of GasPlas Technology
• No CO2-emissions (our carbon is collected in powder form)
• High energy cracking efficiency
• Scalability (small to industrial scale production)
• Low capital and operating expenses
• On-demand or continues production
• Low operating temperatures
• Operation under normal atmospheric pressure
• No moving components
• Few components and relative small size
• On-demand production with quick start and stop operation
• Good conditions for control over carbon structure
• Large cold plasma volumes
• Use any type of bio- or natural gas
• Wide range of applications based on same principle

HyNor Lillestrøm AS
HyNor Lillestrøm AS will build and operate a hydrogen refueling station in Lillestrøm. The
company is owned by Institute for Energy Technology, Akershus Energi AS, Kunnskapsbyen
Lillestrøm, Campus Kjeller AS and Skedsmo municipality.
The sources of energy for hydrogen production for the project: solar and bio energy, are
both locally available and renewable. The goal is to create a “grid-neutral” hydrogen station; that is, the station is to deliver the same amount of electricity to the grid as it uses in
the production of Hydrogen. The station will be located in a highly innovative energy park
owned by Akershus Energi, and will benefit from available biogas and heat.
Locally available land fill gas will be used for hydrogen production via a novel steam methane reforming process called SE-SMR(Sorption Enhanced Steam Methane Reforming). The
technology is being developed by IFE, and it features CO2 capture as a necessary part of
the reforming process. Due to the removal of CO2, the hydrogen yield is also higher than for
conventional steam methane reforming.
Solar energy will be harvested by photovoltaic panels attached to the production building,
and will power a PEM electrolyser, which will be able to follow the intermittency of the solar
energy.
Another novel technology which will be demonstrated is Thermal Sorption Metal Hydride
Compression. Steam at 120˚C will be utilized for compressing hydrogen from 10 to 200 bar
in a metal hydride compressor. Heat for the compression can either come from the central
heat plant or from the reforming process. Metal hydride compression can thus lower the
electric energy used for compression significantly.
The station is scheduled for opening late fall 2010.

Based on the unique long-term research expertice of Institute for Energy technology (IFE)
on metal hydrides (MH), the company was founded ultimo 2005. Together with IFE, HYSTORSYS possesses experience on the complete hydrogen chain from fundamental understanding of hydrogen-metal interactions to their use in experimental hydride-based energy
systems.
MH-storages:
One of the main advantages of a MH-storage is the high hydrogen density at low pressures.
Even custom metal hydrides have volumetric densities higher than liquid hydrogen. This
means that for a given volume, you can store more hydrogen in a MH-storage than in a
hydrogen storage based on liquification - and you will not need to bother about maintaining a low () temperature. In addition, in the MH-system the hydrogen is chemically bound
- and thus, not volatile or mortgaged with boil-off. Compared to compressed hydrogen, the
MH-system eliminates the need for expensive (energy and cost included) high-pressure
compression, and have the property of an intrinsic safe system.
MH-compression:
Machanical compressors are excellent devices for giving you a momentary pressure
increase. Their main drawback is the energy consumption and maintenance interval.
MH-compressors, however, compress hydrogen without the need of a high-quality energy
carrier such as electricity, but use heat (such as industrial waste-heat) for compression. In
addition, thermal MH-compressors are solide-state machines giving a minimum of moving
parts and long maintenance interval.

n-Tec and its consortium partners (of which IFE is also a member) finished an EU funded
research project called HYCONES at the end of 2009. HYCONES proved that the use of a
new, leading-edge nanomaterial called carbon cones (CCs) could be used as a practical,
inexpensive, lightweight, and high capacity H2 storage medium, capable of storing and
releasing over 4 weight % of H2 at room temperature. Carbon cones are a new allotrope
of carbon, fundamentally different from other known carbon structures and are composed
of carbon microstructures in the form of flat discs and cones. The CCs consist of curved
graphite sheets, where five different cone angles are possible respective of having one to
five pentagons at the cone tips. Patented experiments clearly demonstrate unprecedented
uptake-release of H2 compared to other carbon materials, as well as a new form of interaction between carbon and H2 (in contrast to conventional physi- and chemi-sorption),
capable of releasing H2 at room temperature. This unique behaviour was explained after
ad-hoc computational calculations, which indicate that due to the special topology of CCs,
the system is characterised by electronic properties distinctively different from any other
form of activated or nanostructured carbon (bucky-balls, single- and multi-wall nanotubes).
HYCONES main target is to develop a radically new H2 storage material with the potential to
meet vehicle on-board storage requirements.

Nordic Power Systems
Nordic Power Systems is preparing for commercial market introduction of a diesel fuel cell
generator (APU). The APU is virtually emission free, has at least 50% higher efficiency than
a conventional generator, and may be used for both el & heat production. First deliveries of demonstrators are ongoing to selected partners. The diesel fuel cell APU is regarded
unique worldwide since it runs on conventional fuels like diesel and bio fuels. The technology has especially attracted the defense industry due to silence and high efficiency, as well
as fuel robustness with regard to sulfur . Examples of other identified markets are APU for
yachts, trucks (bans on idle running upcoming meaning a separate onboard power source is
needed), residential heating, off grid power production, cooling aggregates, mobile homes /
caravans and range extender for electric vehicles.
The patented system has been developed by the Technical University of Aachen, Germany
and is based on a conversion process named cool flame reforming . The reformer converts
hydrocarbon fuels to a hydrogen reformat gas which is fed into a HT PEM fuel cell. In 2006
Nordic Power Systems acquired the exclusive rights for commercialization of the unique
technology. Currently the company is focusing on power ranges 1- 2 kW, but planning for
larger systems as the technology is scaleable.

The research activities are mainly related to hydrogen production and membrane separation
and CO2 sorbent technologies, with some activities also within fuel cells.
Catalysis is important in the production of hydrogen from hydrocarbons. Natural gas iand
biomass are important sources of hydrogen, and the conversion of transportable hydrogen
carriers such as propane and(bio) alcohols is also studied. Emerging reactor technologies
such as microstructured reactors are being developed and tested and structured supports
(monoliths, foams) are being studied for short contact time reaction systems such as partial
oxidation.
Carbon molecular sieve membranes and mixed matrix materials are being investigated for
the recovery of hydrogen from various mixed gas streams. Separation technology relevant
to hydrogen energy also includes membranes for selective CO2 capture. (www.chemeng.

The research has been concentrated in two areas:
1. Materials research.
A range of oxide nanoparticles relevant for ceramic fuel cells have been produced using a
new, patented concept of the sol-gel process. These particles have been sintered to produce functional materials, specifically electrolytes and anodes. Both powders and functional
materials have been characterized using a range of analysis techniques. Work is now in
progress to produce thin layers for a new concept of planar solid oxide fuel cells.
2. Modelling of fuel cells.
A comprehensive numerical model for an SOFC cell combining CFD with modelling of the
chemical reactions and heat flows has been built. The working of a variety of solid oxide
fuel cell concepts has been investigated using this model. Another modelling effort concentrates on building a molecular model for the working of solid oxide fuel cell electrolytes. The
influence of the configuration of the material, particularly the arrangement of the dopant
ions and the effect of realistic grain boundaries, on the ion conductivity of the material is
being investigated in this way.

ZERO’s foundational understanding is that despite pervasive pollution today, if action is not
taken, we will see a continuation of pollution creators developed and built in the future. We
are able to challenge the future because all types of vehicles and energy have only a limited
lifetime. If all new vehicles, energy and industry facilities from now on use emission-free
technologies, the emissions will gradually be reduced to zero as the old polluters are eventually closed with age. ZERO therefore believes it is vital that new vehicle, energy and industry facilities are based on non-polluting alternatives. We have therefore chosen to focus
our work on the non-polluting alternatives instead of working against the polluting ones.
Opposing pollution does not mean we want to bring the world back to the stone-age. ZERO
has shown, and will continue to show, that all energy and transport services as well as all
energy and transport needs can be provided without emissions. This can be achieved by
committing to renewable energy and fossil fuels with carbon capture and through use of
non-polluting energy carriers and fuels such as electricity, hydrogen, bio energy and water.
Our work with hydrogen consists mainly of spreading information and working in HyNor
– The Hydrogen Road of Norway. In the HyNor-project, ZERO is the secretariat and works
closely with the leader of the project. ZERO is also coordinating the vehicle purchase and
the homologation workpackage.
Our main distribution channel for information is our website, www.zero.no/hydrogen where
we publish technological and political news on hydrogen. We also work towards the mass
media.
