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

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

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
