end-use applications). So far, <strong>the</strong> network has initiated and c<strong>of</strong>unded<br />

60+ projects for an overall value <strong>of</strong> more than €120<br />

million (<strong>of</strong> which 74m directly provided by <strong>the</strong> network).<br />

HyCologne is a public-private partnership <strong>of</strong> over 20 members<br />

localized in west Germany, that supports hydrogen and fuel<br />

cell projects in <strong>the</strong> area <strong>of</strong> Cologne, Dusseldorf, Aachen and<br />

Bonn providing knowledge, connections and infrastructures.<br />

HyCologne‟s two major current activities is <strong>the</strong> promoting <strong>of</strong> a<br />

hydrogen powered bus fleet and industrial-scale hydrogenpowered<br />

power plant in order to valorize <strong>the</strong> abundant<br />

availability <strong>of</strong> hydrogen from local chemical industries.<br />

Founded in 2008, <strong>the</strong> partnership represents 26 European<br />

Regions and Municipalities <strong>of</strong> 7 European state members as a<br />

unique influential stakeholder in <strong>the</strong> EC‟s JTI FCH. The<br />

partnership aims to help <strong>the</strong> local communities to play a key<br />

role in developing <strong>the</strong> European hydrogen and fuel cell<br />

deployment strategy.<br />

Quoting SHHP‟s homepage, “The SHHP constitutes a<br />

transnational networking platform that catalyses and<br />

coordinates collaboration between three national networking<br />

bodies – HyNor (Norway), <strong>Hydrogen</strong> Link (Denmark) and<br />

<strong>Hydrogen</strong> Sweden (Sweden)”. SHHP partners work toge<strong>the</strong>r<br />

with an extensive network <strong>of</strong> local authorities, research centres<br />

and private firms aiming to facilitate <strong>the</strong> creation <strong>of</strong> an<br />

integrated hydrogen infrastructure network along <strong>the</strong> three<br />

Scandinavian countries, ideally by 2012. SHHP‟s partners aim<br />

to realize <strong>the</strong> Europe‟s largest hydrogen-powered vehicle<br />

demonstration, having <strong>the</strong> ambitious target to deploy some 15-<br />

30 hydrogen filling stations, 100 buses, 500 cars and 500<br />

specialty vehicles by 2015. SHHP intends to integrate <strong>the</strong><br />

Scandinavian network with <strong>the</strong> rest <strong>of</strong> Europe.<br />
