Regional Power for Clean Transport Organized by Akershus County Council, in partnership with HyER 30th - 31st of October 2013 Radisson Blu Plaza Hotel, Oslo, Norway HYOP TIME AND VENUE: 30th - 31st of October 2013 > Akershus County Council at Galleri Oslo and Radisson Blu Plaza Hotel - Oslo, Norway Welcome to Akershus in the Oslo region, a world leading region in green mobility. Akershus County Council, in partnership with HyER (Hydrogen, Fuel cells and Electro-mobility in European Regions), are pleased to invite you to the conference “Regional Power for Clean Transport”. Europe is currently 94 % dependent on oil based fuels, and the need for a joint initiative to implement alternative fuel solutions is urgent. As a consequence, the EU package “Clean Power for Transport: Radisson Blu Plaza Hotel, Oslo, Norway and The Norwegian National Opera & Ballet A European alternative fuels strategy” is currently under consideration in the European Parliament. Foto: Erik Berg The conference focuses on the interaction of politics, research and industry - and regional perspectives to accelerate clean power for transport. There will be particular emphasis on biofuels, electro-mobility/batteries and hydrogen as energy carriers. TARGET AUDIENCE: Politicians, industry, R&D, public administration and other stakeholders in the transport and energy sector.

As a result of political incentives, such as access to restricted bus lanes to avoid rush hour queues, exemption from road tolls, as well as free parking, there are now 1200 electric cars in Asker, which account for 4 percent of all cars in the municipality. 7 BIOFUELS - ESVAL ENVIRONMENTAL PARK HYDROGEN - AKERSHUS ENERGY PARK Hynor Lillestrøm - making hydrogen green Hynor Lillestrøm is both a hydrogen technology test center and one of the most advanced refueling stations in the world, located just north of Oslo. At the station hydrogen is produced from landfill gas, hydro power and local solar power. The test center facilitates R&D projects of international importance, both on hydrogen production, compression and second generation carbon capture technologies. Hynor Lillestrøm is the result of a broad collaboration where ambitious local and regional authorities play a crucial role for its success.

At the innovatively designed plant the waste is utilized to produce liquid biogas (LBG) and bio fertilizer. The liquid biogas fuels city busses and waste collection vehicles, and the bio fertilizer is used for agricultural purposes. This creates a closed loop, where waste resources are exploited in the best manner possible. The production started January this year with the capacity to fuel 135 buses and fertilize 100 medium-sized local farms. In 2012 EGE, and its industrial partner Cambi, won a National Innovation Award for the design of the plant and the cooperation between public sector and industry.
