HyWaysThe European Hydrogen Energy RoadmapImpact on economic growth
• Strengthening Europe’s position as manufacturerof cars and energy equipment.
• Decreasing vulnerability to oil price shocks and structural high oil prices.
• Small positive GDP effects in most countries from 2030 onwards.
The transition to hydrogen offers economic opportunities:
Page 9

HyWaysThe European Hydrogen Energy RoadmapImpact on employment
• 25% of all vehicles are produced in Europe. (10% of total GDP in EU27)
• Dilemma for large automotive countries: Drastic GDP and job losses if these countries
lose market shares due to a late market entry.
Uncertainties about success of H2 cars and risk of losses due to investments in premature H2 infrastructure and car development.
• Less drastic for other countries; by following the "right strategies“, additional wins in GDP and employment can be obtained.

HyWaysThe European Hydrogen Energy RoadmapSecurity of supply
• Hydrogen de-couples energy demand from resources (like electricity).
• Diversified hydrogen production mix leads to substantial improvement in security of supply.
Total oil consumption of road transport decreases by 40% until 2050 (80% hydrogen vehicles).

HyWaysThe European Hydrogen Energy RoadmapHydrogen & energy efficiency
End use efficiency is increased by hydrogen and fuel cell technology.
E.g., hydrogen from biomass (used in fuel cell vehicles) allows for substantial efficiency gains over biofuels.
Efficiency of hydrogen fuel cell passenger vehicles is significantly higher than of internal combustion engine (ICE) and hybrid ICE vehicles.

High introduction rates of vehicles and build-up rate of infrastructure are needed for an industrially relevant growth.
A slow market penetration of hydrogen is unacceptable from an investor’s point of view.
Immediate action is needed to overcome the initial barriers.

Page 18
www.HyWays.de
HyWaysThe European Hydrogen Energy Roadmap
A European hydrogen-specific support framework is needed.
• Innovation support: Increase R&D budgets at EU and member state level for hydrogen technologies. Suggested European level: 80 M€/year.
• Market support: Implement a hydrogen specific deployment support framework at member state level. Starting point: equalise costs (€ct/km) for road transport
(e.g. through tax incentives). Total costs of deployment support scheme: ~180 M€/year.
• Early markets: Create markets utilising the advantages of hydrogen applications. E.g. city centre access regulations or procurement of zero
emission vehicles within governmental services.

HyWaysThe European Hydrogen Energy Roadmap
A public-private partnership (PPP) is needed.
• Production of a small series of vehicles has started but has to be scaled up further soon.
• In the early commercialisation phase, technology-specific deployment support and R&D must go hand-in-hand. A European public private partnership
between industry and the EC, such as a Joint Technology Initiative (JTI), is the most suitable framework to meet these conditions.
