Zero–HyTechPark Project: Reducing CO2 Emissions with H2 RES Applications

Abstract

The Zero-HyTechPark project aims to put measures in place to achieve more sustainable technology parks via optimum energy management by means of systems based on hydrogen technologies and renewable energies. Thus, the objectives of the project focus on three areas: sustainable mobility promotion, dissemination of hydrogen technologies to the industrial and public sectors and achieve a zero emissions building. To complete these objectives, prototypes integrated with renewable energies such as a connected grid fuel cell, a fuel cell based cogeneration system, a fuel cell powered forklift balance of plant performing or the conversion of a battery electric vehicle to a fuel cell electric vehicle, among others have been developed. As a result, the CO2 emissions in the building under study have been reduced over 8 Tn of carbon dioxide.
