Local drivers
• Highly skilled workforce in energy industry
• Already accustomed to the use of hydrogen in industrialprocesses
• Production of excess renewable energy (wind)
Policy drivers
• reduce cross-sector greenhouse gas emissions by 42% by 2020 and 80% by 2050 (Scotland)
Developing a hydrogen economy
Strategic aim: to become a world-class energy hub leading a low carbon economy and at the forefront of hydrogen technology in Europe
ANTWERP
Close relationship between PTA and PTO
De Lijn (PTO) providing public transport in Antwerp is
run by the Flemish Government (PTA)
Broad focus on sustainability:
• Testing of different types of low emission
transport: full battery electric, fuel cell electric
and diesel hybrid busses
SAN REMO
• Trolleybus system since 1942
• High maintenance costs for the Trolley infrastructure
• Low flexibility of the trolleybus system
“Which zero emission technology is suitable for San Remo?”
Moving from trolley buses to FC buses
Detailed technical and economomical evaluation
GRONINGEN
Last but not least
Targets from the Dutch government:
• All buses from 2025 should be zero emission
tank to wheel
• All energy to fuel the buses should come from
renewable sources
• Plans for a hydrogen economy in the north of
the Netherlands
QBUZZ Driver
• PTO Qbuzz invests in zero emission
technologies to gain experience
