Clean Energy Partnership

Clean Energy Partnership ( CEP ) was established in 2002 as a joint initiative of the policy ( Federal Ministry of Transport) and then 10 industrial partners in life. Emerging is the partnership of the Transport Energy Strategy. The merger is a merger funded by the federal government to test the system ability of hydrogen in the range of mobility. The project is divided into three phases:

First phase

In November 2004, the Clean Energy Partnership was started as a demonstration project in Berlin. In this phase, two public hydrogen filling stations and a fleet of 17 hydrogen - powered cars were. Hydrogen is produced locally by electrolysis or reforming of LPG (LPG Liquefied petroleum gas) or centrally by steam reforming and liquefaction and its distribution by road tanker. It also insights into its storage and supply at gas stations, the use of hydrogen in stationary fuel cell and its mobile application will be tested as fuel for hydrogen fuel cell vehicles and internal combustion engine. On 30 June 2008, the first phase of the project ended.

2nd phase

From 30 June 2008 to 31 December 2010. During this phase, it was about the increase in the passenger car fleet, the expansion of Berlin and Hamburg's bus fleet and the construction of new stations in Berlin and in Hamburg's HafenCity. The CEP is funded by the National Innovation Programme for Hydrogen and Fuel Cell Technology.

Phase 3

The period January 2011 to 2016 is marked by quality, quantity and distribution. It is not only operated in the project vehicle fleet be increased significantly but also the H2 filling station network expanded. In addition, the partnership to other regions and other partners to grow.

Some car manufacturers have announced, in 2015 to go with their hydrogen vehicles in series.
