Engineering:Clean Energy Partnership
Clean Energy Partnership (CEP) is a joint project for world's most versatile hydrogen demonstration. It is aiming for emission-free mobility and has several hydrogen stations. As of May 2010 the CEP is a consortium of thirteen partners: Berliner Verkehrsbetriebe BVG (Berlin transit authority), BMW, Daimler, Ford, GM/Opel, Hamburger Hochbahn (Hamburg transit company), Linde Group, Royal Dutch Shell, Statoil, Total, Toyota, Vattenfall Europe, and Volkswagen Group.[1]
Milestones
In November 2004 the first hydrogen station was opened in Messedamn, Berlin, Germany . On July 13, 2006 Volkswagen Group joined the partnership.
In September, 2009 seven members of the Clean Energy Partnership signed a Memorandum of Understanding[2] with NOW GmbH (Nationale Organisation Wasserstoff- und Brennstoffzellentechnologie, "National Organisation Hydrogen and Fuel Cell Technology", a state organisation. represented by the Federal Ministry of Transport, Building and Urban Development.[3] It called for two phases of work
- "leverage plans to install new hydrogen fuelling stations by 2011"
- Depending on the progress of this, a nationwide roll-out of hydrogen fuelling stations will be continued, supporting the introduction of series produced hydrogen powered vehicles in Germany around 2015.
As of September 2006 CEP had 17 hydrogen stations.[citation needed]
