PresenterPresentation NotesVarme en del av energisystemet

Totalt hadde ENERGIX i 2012 litt over 250 prosjekter med et samlet forbruk på ca. 383 mill. kroner. De viktigste prosjekttypene er innovasjonsprosjekter i næringslivet og kompetanseprosjekter for næringslivet. I tillegg utgjør forskerprosjektene ca. 20 prosent av porteføljen. Programmet har også finansiert en rekke aktiviteter for å støtte opp om internasjonalt forskningssamarbeid innenfor energifeltet.

Er finansiert av SD, OED, NHD, LMD, NHD, MD, KD og fondet og hadde i 2012 et disponibelt budsjett på 382 mill. kroner. LMDs finansiering er på 40,123 millioner kronerSDs finansiering er på 40 mill. kronerMD 23,35 millioner kronerOED 234 millioner kroner

Hydrogen/Fuel cells topics • Fuel cells

• Different types • Electrolysis

• Alkaline, PEM, other • Other production ways

• Reforming • Transportation

• Gas, liquid, NH3, organic • Storage

• High pressure, Me.hydride, liquid • Safety • Value chain • Hydrogen use

• Transportation, maritime, GtP etc.

Situation in Norway World leading on electric vehicles

The same with HFC cars (early market)? High political interest (partly) Industry is limited (no FC companies)

Large electrolysis company – New NEL High pressure cylinders – Hexagon Composites Norway Several smaller industries

Priorities based on national interest and competence Electrolysis – research and innovation Fuel cells – R&D work with European industry in FCH JU Metal hydrides: High on the agenda 15 years ago, not succesfull, more

focus on high pressure storage (but for other applications) Value chain challenges, more use of Hydrogen, including safety etc. –

becomes more important

Instruments – international collaboration

Energy Research

H2020 calls

ERA-Net Cofund, EIG C-Japan

Nordic collaboration

Bilateral (Japan, USA, India …)

Mobility

H2020 Incentives

Thank you for your attention

PresenterPresentation NotesSlide 16: The rising sun and the midnight sun

So where does this lead us? We know from the history of science that there are lots of new things under the sun – and we know that science is the sunglasses we need to be able to stare directly into the secrets of the world. Are there really any good alternatives to a research-based future? I believe the answer is no. I believe that our common effort in research is the path to new innovations and a sustainable future. And I also believe this is the path we should take.

In a cooperative effort, where the sun always rises and never sets.

Thank you.
