Stationary applications Clause Samples

Stationary applications. For applications like CHP home appliances or devices, there are no specific mechanisms, plans or programmes. The situation is as follows, with two devices installed thanks to a district heating demonstration project and the demonstration of domestic devices in a research centre. At least four other industrial level applications were installed but are not running nowadays.

Stationary applications. Fuel cell stationary applications are mainly affected by the European Directive 2012/27/EU of the European Parliament and of the Council of 25 October 2012 on energy efficiency. The Directive establishes a common framework of measures for the promotion of energy efficiency within the Union in order to ensure the achievement of the Union’s 2020 20% headline target on energy efficiency. Its aim is to remove barriers in the energy market and to overcome market failures that impede the efficient supply and use of energy. It provides indicative national energy efficiency targets (these targets can be based on primary or final energy consumption, primary or final energy savings, or energy intensity) for 2020 and paves the way for further energy efficiency improvements beyond that date. The set of measures are binding for each Member State. Each Member State is required to use energy more efficiently at all stages of the energy chain from its production to its final consumption. The Directive should have been incorporated into national law the Directive's provisions into their national laws by 5 June 2014. The main measures to ensure major energy savings for consumers and industry alike are:  Energy distributors or retail energy sales companies have to achieve 1.5% energy savings per year through the implementation of energy efficiency measures.  European Union countries can opt to achieve the same level of savings through other means, such as improving the efficiency of heating systems, installing double glazed windows or insulating roofs.  The public sector in European Union countries should purchase energy efficient buildings, products and services.  Every year, European Union governments will carry out energy efficient renovations on at least 3% of the buildings they own and occupy by floor area.  Empowering energy consumers to better manage consumption. This includes easy and free access to data on consumption through individual metering.  National incentives for SMEs to undergo energy audits.  Large companies will make audits of their energy consumption to help them identify ways to reduce it.  Monitoring efficiency levels in new energy generation capacities. As for hydrogen and fuel cell technologies, they are considered in this Directive within the promotion of efficiency in heating and cooling, where high-efficiency cogeneration plays a major role. Fuel cells are one of the ten technologies considered (Annex I), and no specific technology is favo...

Stationary applications. Stationary applications like the CHP ones are backed with projects like the Callux, with national funding, or the Ene.Field with European support. The Callux project is considered the national lighthouse project, as it is the largest nationwide field trial of fuel cell heating appliances in everyday use. The entire investment from industry and the public sector amounts to around 86 million euros. The project begun in 2008 and had a duration of seven years. In a first phase until 2012, fuel cell heating appliances were installed in private households across the country and tested in everyday use. In the second project phase, specific market preparation has begun and over 100 units have already been put into operation. The objective is to run around 800 fuel cell heating appliances in total. In the Ene.field project, around 315 devices have been installed by the end of 2015, about 240 have been installed in Germany.

Stationary applications. Hydrogen and fuel cell stationary applications are not specifically addressed by any mechanism of the UK Government to support CHP implementation. Nevertheless, there are private companies which are very active and participate in projects, like the ambitious European project Ene.Field that is currently ongoing. The number of devices currently in operation is unknown but it is estimated in several tens of units installed as companies are developing fuel cell CHP applications for domestic use and already installing them for field trials.

Stationary applications. For stationary applications there is no specific plan. Belgium takes part in the Ene.field project which is in progress, so several devices are expected to be installed. However no clear figures are given. Only a 1 MW CHP plant is currently in operation at a chemical plant. For transport, Belgium is working on an H2Mobility Belgium, but has not published its plan yet. Only a vision has been published in December 2015 called “National Implementation Plan Hydrogen Refuelling Infrastructure Belgium (H2Mobility Belgium)” by Waterstofnet (Flanders – South Netherlands initiative for hydrogen and fuel cells). Published specific national plan for hydrogen and fuel cells No Initiative “National Implementation Plan Hydrogen Refuelling Infrastructure Belgium (H2Mobility Belgium)” State Vision published in December 2015, not adopted by May 2016 Published by Regional Initiative Waterstofnet Application Transport Number of HRS currently in operation 2 (1 public) Number of HRS planned & year 25 (2020), 75 (2025) and 150 (2030) Number of cars in operation 4 Number of cars planned& year 1,000 (2020), 7,500 (2025) and 30,000 (2030) Number of buses currently in operation 5 (HighVloCity project) Number of cities currently involved in bus implementation 1: Antwerp As well as stationary applications, special ones are present only thanks to demonstration projects like the Don Quixote, with 11 forklifts in operation. Number of devices 11 forklifts At a regional level, the above mentioned initiative Waterstofnet from Flanders and regions of the Southern Netherlands gathers over 100 entities (regional and local governments, research and industry). It was approved within the European Interreg Program for a period of four years and was financed by Europe, the Flemish and the Dutch government and the industry, with a total budget of 14.1 million euros. It was launched in 2009 and it participates actively in European demonstration projects like: “Don Quixote” (HRS and forklifts), “HighVlo-City” and “3Emotion” (bus demonstration) and “Life n’GrabHy” (Waste collection vehicles) and launching the studies and visions: “Power-to-gas” (roadmap to implement power-to-gas plants in Flanders) and “H2 Mobility Belgium”. The initiative does not have any plan or program to support or fund projects. The buses already in public service were deployed under the HighVlo-city European Project, which will be continued under the 3Emotions one. HRS in operation are opened by Toyota near Brussels for public ...

Stationary applications. These applications include systems to provide heat and power for domestic and commercial properties, Uninterruptable Power Supplies (UPS) systems and portable power for laptops, etc.
