• the level of activity described includes funds to cover increased researcher education in the field; • the level of activity described does not include subsidies for activities involving liquid biofuels. Potential EU subsidy has also not been included. Danish Outcome The propagation of hydrogen as energy carrier and fuel depends on the commercial availability of fuel cell technology. It is expected that the market for fuel cells for use in the transport sector and for stationary purposes will be modest until around year 2020, cf. Table 2. Natural gas will be used as fuel for fuel cells in the transition period. A market will emerge in niche areas (electronic equipment, emergency power supply, handicap vehicles, etc.) already within the next 10 years. It is consequently expected that widespread use of hydrogen as an energy carrier will only find widespread application in the long term. This is in line with the strategy for a future energy supply structure in 2025. According to this strategy fuel cells are expected to play a role within the next 20 years, whereas hydrogen will only become relevant later. In the light of the described Danish focus on the development of fuel cell technologies, Denmark is expected to become one of the main producers of fuel cells in the world. Danish fuel cell production is a likely scenario, as the production process will be highly automated. The development and use of integrated solutions within fuel cell application is also expected to create opportunities for Danish growth and export of energy technologies. The market for fuel cells will be substantial if the technology becomes generally accepted internationally. Simultaneous investments in the technological development of hydrogen production processes, storage and system integration, as shown in Table 4, will ensure energy supply diversity and flexibility. As a result, it would be easy for Denmark to adapt to a situation in which hydrogen can play a role in integrating renewable energy in the energy supply, and where hydrogen/hydrogen-containing liquid fuels replace fossil fuels in the transport sector. A highly qualified, cross-disciplinary and cross-institutional organisation based on Danish competencies in hydrogen and fuel cells, including a Danish ability to identify global needs and develop solutions that meet those needs, would be an investment in the future that would benefit the Danish private sector. 29
