Constructing a pan-European hydrogen infrastructure

The following section presents the major outcomes of the HyWays project, whose overarching aim was to develop a validated European hydrogen roadmap and an action plan for introducing hydrogen in transport as well as stationary applications, and to demonstrate how hydrogen can contribute to sustainability. HyWays 

13 These avoidance costs ( /t C02) have been calculated according to the following formula  

14 The HyWays project has concluded that hydrogen can reduce the C02 emissions from road transport by over 50% much of the remaining emissions come from goods transport where no hydrogen fuel was assumed (HyWays, 2007). In contrast, biofuels can only supply a fraction of today s transportation energy demand (6% to 15% within the EU), if the competing use of biomass in the stationary sector is taken into account (JEC, 2007) (see also Chapter 7).

The resulting early transit road network focuses on connecting early-user centres within the HyWays countries, but also on international links. Furthermore, the motorways around early-user centres with high population densities should be equipped with hydrogen fuelling stations to facilitate daily commuting in these regions.
