A3PS – Austrian Agency for Alternative Propulsion Systems

A3PS - public private partnership initiated by the Austrian Ministry

for Transport, Innovation and Technology as platform for strategic

cooperation with industry and research institutions beyond just

funding single R&D-projects.

Targeted platform with the common goal to support the development

and market introduction of alternative propulsion systems and

fuels and the joint mission to develop efficient, competitive and clean

vehicles as well as their energy carriers and infrastructure.

The main goal is a strategic cooperation between

industry, research institutions,

public administration and policy makers

developing a joint vision and roadmaps for its

implementation.

Hydrogen and Fuel Cells as Key

Technologies for Austria

11

Hydrogen and Fuel Cells as Key Technologies

for Austria

High potential in Austria to use renewable energy (sun, wind,

water, biomass, geothermal energy...)(33% as per end of 2013 in AUT)

for energy production and energy storage and in mobility.

Hydrogen is suitable for storing unsteady produced renewable

energy.

Strong automotive supply industry with focus on propulsion

systems (BMW, Opel/General Motors).

Austrian industry and research institutions are highly qualified in

the field of hydrogen and fuel cells.

12


for Austria – why now?

FCH for a clean and CO2- pollution free mobility with usual

refueling and without range limitation.

FCH- technologies are feasible now – recent topics are:

operating safety, durability and practical validation for

implementation in high quantities.

OEMs have announced the launch of FCVs in Austria for 2014-

2015 infrastructure must be implemented within the next 2-3

years for a successful introduction of FCH- technologies.

Besides mobile applications, Austrian industry and research

institutions can provide stationary and portable technologies

which are ready for serial production.

13



All fuel cell and hydrogen components and systems are covered in

research and industry, but special expertise exists in:

Hydrogen tank systems (cryogenic and high pressure from Magna

for BMW and Daimler and for space applications)

SOFC-components and systems (Plansee for Bloom Energy, APU

from AVL, Treibacher for raw materials, TU Vienna and Leoben for

SOFC-research)

Engineering, development tools and test bench from AVL

(PEM and SOFC)

14



All fuel cell and hydrogen components and systems are covered in

research and industry, but special expertise exists in:

Green hydrogen production from biogenic feedstock as well as

photovoltaics (Güssing, Profactor, Joanneum, TU Vienna, Fronius)

Hydrogen refilling stations (in Graz with additional R&D-facilities, in

Vienna from OMV building up network to neighboring countries)

….. how to use synergies?

15

Strategic cooperation between industry, public

authorities and research institutions

In order to concentrate and to coordinate the Austrian knowledge and

competence in the field of Fuel Cells and Hydrogen the FCH Cluster

Austria was initialized in 2012 and is coordinated by the A3PS.
