IEA Hydrogen Implementing Agreement 2013-14

The aim of the project is to participate in IEA Hydrogen Implementing Agreement (HIA), in order to

stimulate hydrogen R&D activities in Denmark and to co-ordinate Danish and international scientific work

on hydrogen and related subjects.

DGC is the DK represetative participats in HIA Executive Committee (Chair) on behalf of the DEA.

The aim of the participation in IEA Hydrogen Implementing Agreement (HIA) has been to ensure coordination of the national R&D action within the hydrogen area with an international R&D action. During the last 2 years there has been an increasing global interest for hydrogen as a highly flexible energy vector. Driven by a greener energy supply by biomass and wind there is a need for:
Project description

The aim of the project is to participate in IEA Hydrogen Implementing Agreement (HIA), in order to

stimulate hydrogen R&D activities in Denmark and to co-ordinate Danish and international scientific work

on hydrogen and related subjects.

The work includes:

• DGC participation in HIA Executive Committee (Chair)

• Facilitate Danish participation from Industry and Academia in HIA Tasks (Working groups)

• Information activities on IEA HIA via web, papers and workshops

Coordinate the Danish HIA participation with the Danish Energy Authority (DEA), who is the formal Danish HIA member.

Results
  • Hydrogen from Renewable Energy Resources
  • Energy conversion via hydrogen
  • Energy storage via hydrogen
  • Hydrogen as a CO2 free energy carrier

The HIA participation by both countries and sponsors are increasing and so are the expert task participation, indicating the importers of the HIA work and the great opportunity offered for international collaboration on the challengers on the future energy systems.

The Danish energy systems are facing large changes and challengers during the conversion from fossil fuels to renewables and from a centralized system to de-centralized systems. The Danish HIA participation offers a great opportunity for being at the forefront at the hydrogen energy research, which may be an advance, because hydrogen is one of tools for the implementation of the national energy policy.

The feedback from HIA participants are, that HIA offers an excellent opportunity for international collaboration, creation of project consortia’s and exchange of scientific results.

Main Danish interests are: Conversion of electricity to hydrogen (electrolysis, Power to Gas issues), roll out of hydrogen infrastructure, hydrogen re-fuelling stations and hydrogen vehicles, hydrogen safety and hydrogen storage.
