RESILIENCE The Innovation Team Newsletter

Alternative Fuels & Sustainable Mobility

Dear Readers,

This is the 1^st edition of our revamped Newsletter. Resilience (ex I³ Newsletter) is meant to provide you with selected information on Alternative Fuels, transport digitalisation and policy developments. Being completely focussed on our daily business, we need to look at our sector with a wider angle from time to time to stay “up-to-date” with the latest innovations hitting the market.

Resilience Newsletter will include in the next editions sections on Synergy, a glance at the AF projects financed by CEF or other programmes, and probably an access to the repository with deliverables from implemented projects and a direct link to AF maps once available. Be patient!

This Newsletter is not just another spam in your mailbox, it is YOUR Newsletter as it is partly fed with information you found interesting to share with the Team, and beyond at CINEA and MOVE.

Special thanks to our trainee Isabel who spend time to reach this point, going through a specific training process as we are using the official EC tool. Feel free to send feedback to improve this internal & regular piece of information so as to enhance the content to fit your needs.

Enjoy this 1st Edition (collector one) and together, let’s make transport infrastructure and systems more sustainable and… Resilient!

Alternative Fuels

If you could charge in 5 minutes, would you drive electric?

Earlier this year, lithium-ion battery company StoreDot announced it can mass-produce electric vehicle batteries that can be fully charged in just five minutes — the same amount of time it takes to fill up a traditional gas tank with fossil fuel. Could this fast-charging battery be the game changer needed to transition to a cleaner transportation industry?

Hydrogen: Massive support in Germany

The German Federal Ministry of Economics and the German Federal Ministry of Transport selected 62 large-scale hydrogen projects to receive €8 billion in government funding. Furthermore, 11 projects have been selected in the framework of H2 Hub Airport, a call for expressions of interest to contribute to the surge of the hydrogen airport ecosystem in France. French energy company Total acquired a 20% stake in Hysetco, a French company developing hydrogen mobility in cities.

BMVI und BMWi bringen 62 Wasserstoff-Großprojekte auf den Weg

Das Bundeswirtschaftsministerium und das Bundesverkehrsministerium haben in dieser Woche 62 Wasserstoff-Großprojekte ausgewählt, die im Rahmen eines gemeinsamen europäischen Wasserstoffprojekts (sog. Important Project of Common European Interest, IPCEI) staatlich gefördert werden sollen. Sie setzen damit eine wichtige Maßnahme der Nationalen Wasserstoffstrategie um.

Hidrógeno verde: el combustible eterno que alumbra una nueva era

En el libro La economía del hidrógeno, el sociólogo estadounidense Jeremy Rifkin escribió hace 20 años: “Está naciendo un nuevo sistema energético que tiene el potencial de remodelar radicalmente la civilización. El hidrógeno es el elemento más básico y ubicuo del universo. Es el material de las estrellas y de nuestro Sol y, cuando se aproveche adecuadamente, será el combustible eterno”. ¿Qué ocurrió después? Nada.

Explained: How public transport could become free in Ireland

The introduction of free public transport has been backed by an Oireachtas committee report on Ireland’s transport sector.

Policy Issues

Court of Auditors - Report on Infrastructure for charging electric vehicles

Executive summary I) With the European Green Deal announced in December 2019, the EU is now aiming to reduce greenhouse gas emissions from transport by 90 % by 2050 compared with 1990, as part of a larger effort to become a climate-neutral economy. An essential part of reducing emissions from road transport is the transition to alternative, lower-carbon fuels.

The Future

180º TWIST AT AUTONOMOUS DRIVING

Baidu Apollo says that its latest development project, Apollo Air, created in partnership with the Institute for AI Industry Research (AIR) at Tsinghua University, is the world’s first and only vehicle-to-everything (V2X) technology that enables L4 autonomous driving on open public roads with roadside sensing.

The Role of Critical Minerals in Clean Energy Transitions

An energy system powered by clean energy technologies differs profoundly from one fuelled by traditional hydrocarbon resources. Solar photovoltaic (PV) plants, wind farms and electric vehicles (EVs) generally require more minerals to build than their fossil fuel-based counterparts.
