5 Competences of Regional Council of Skåne Public health care (93 % of the total budget), Culture (1 %) Public transport (5 %) Regional development (1 %) Employs around people, mostly in health care in the city of Lund, photo: Ola Lindberg

6 Climate and sustainable energy work in Regional Council of Skåne Strategic program for climate issues in Skåne together with municipalities, authorities and organisations Fossil fuel free Skåne 2020 Increased use and production of biogas, wind power, solar energy and other renewable energy Enhanced energy efficiency Strengthen the market for renemable fuel and vehicles Development of new forms of energy storage Roadmap for biogas

7 Next Move project The overall project vision is that Scandinavian regions shall be early users of zero emission vehicles. Focus is on mobilizing the users. Project period:1 April Sept 2014 Budget: 6 Million, hereof 4 Million are investments The project is cofinanced by Interreg IVA Öresund-Kattegat- Skagerrak The partnership gather 11 organisations in the program area

9 Procurement of cars in Öresund region Potential car suppliers: Mercedes, Honda and Hyundai Hyundai delivered 2 vehicles in June 2013, incl. service and maintenance Regional Council of Skåne 2 cars + 1 filling station Malmö town 1-5 cars? Landskrona town? Copenhagen 15 cars + 3 filling stations

10 Gas filling stations 700 bar Rented mobile station Permanent station a goal Procurement started last week Up to 10 vehicles in Skåne >4 st filling stations in Denmark Falkenberg? Gothenburg?

11 Arjeplog Making Scandinavia one of the first regions in Europe where hydrogen is available and used in a network of refuelling stations. HRS In operation Planning/construction Strategic location

12 Introduction to: Fact-based Swedish National Study for Hydrogen as Vehicle Fuel Version The study is done in agreement with the Swedish Transport Administrations and is part of the larger TEN-T-project Hydrogen Infrastructure for Transport (HIT).

13 Why is this study important? Hydrogen has a huge potential to reduce our dependency of fossil fuels and for grid-balancing Fuel Cell Electric Vehicles (FCEV) are a necessary complement to Battery Electric Vehicles (BEV) and plug-in hybrids to reach the EU-targets within transport The international vehicle manufacturers are ready to mass produce FCEV s starting in 2015 Major infrastructure plans already in motion (Germany H2Mobility, USA CARB, Great Britain UKH2Mobility and more)

14 HIT-project aims 1. Harmonising roll-out of Hydrogen Refueling Stations (HRS) in Europe 2. National roll-out plans for Denmark, France, the Netherlands and Sweden 3. Learning from Germany (CEP, H2 Mobility, NOW Gmbh), the London Hydrogen Partnership & other H 2 initiatives 4. Linking national hydrogen corridors to international TEN-T transport corridors 5. EU wide dissemination to key decision makers and coordinators of TEN-T corridors

15 CONCLUSIONS Hydrogen is more than cars We are part of an international effort Energy balancing and energy storage supports renewable energy Infrastructure investments are defendable Production of fuel in the country Research must be fully supported Incentives are initially needed - Region Skåne goes ahead
