ZEB Conference (paid)
About
This panel focuses on the economics of fuel cell buses and how to achieve a sustainable business model.
HYCAP is a private equity fund manager focused on enabling the transition to clean hydrogen energy. The moderator for this session brings over two decades’ experience in hydrogen energy, with a focus on developing business cases for hydrogen in mobility applications.
HUMDA (Hungarian Mobility Development Agency), founded by the Hungarian government, is the designated organization coordinating the green Hydrogen Bus Program established by the Hungarian Hydrogen Strategy and is also responsible for coordinating the development of domestic hydrogen refuelling stations. Through their comprehensive knowledge of the local market, regulatory framework and industry trends, the agency is well equipped to provide insights on the key elements necessary to facilitate the adoption of hydrogen buses.
HyCologne has been active in the hydrogen energy sector since 2007, connecting over 50 stakeholders from politics, industry, and academia, and playing a leading role in initiating and delivering hydrogen projects. HyCologne will discuss the finances associated with the refuelling stations in the Cologne region, where the largest FCB fleet in Europe is operational. Discussions will include refurbishing existing stations versus the construction of new stations, and the economics of station building and different funding models to reduce CAPEX.
The Municipal Transport Company in Konin (Poland), MZK Konin, will discuss the initial experience and TCO analysis of their FCBs in operation and their business model for hydrogen refuelling infrastructure and FCBs. Further discussions will also include the barriers and challenges for MZK Konin to scale up their FCB fleet, and the optimal funding model to do so.
As a major H2 player, CaetanoBus will provide the perspective from an OEM about integrated options to overcome the challenges of hydrogen mobility scale up as well as for end users to reduce the TCO associated with FCEBs. Discussions will include different technological improvements designed to reduce both CAPEX and OPEX of a FCEB by presenting their new turnkey solution provided by CaetanoBus, Toyota Tsusho and Messer to cover every aspect of a FCEB fleet (hydrogen supply, HRS, buses etc.) with a more predictable OPEX with a pay per use.
