Fossil and Nuclear Fuels – the Supply Outlook March 2013
Ludwig-Bölkow-Systemtechnik GmbH (LBST) has led efforts for a study covering the global supply situation for global fossil fuel reserves commissioned by the Energy Watch Group, a non-partisan international network of scientists and parliamentarians. The study shows that availability of cheap and hitherto abundant fossil fuels is nearing its end. The results are based on a thorough analysis of reliable data on existing exploration activities, which are used to assess future development.

 

Wind-Hydrogen-Applications in the region Unterelbe January 2013
Is it economically feasible to convert wind power into hydrogen? How can this innovative technology be used along the entire value-chain? In an extensive study for ChemCoast e.V., LBST; BBH und E&Y are performing a market analysis and developing real-world business plans for private market participants.

 

Impacts of Shale Gas Extraction November 2012
LBST has compiled the study „Impacts of Shale Gas Extraction on the Environment and on Human Health“ for the European Parliament. This one adds and updates the work from June 2011. It was published by the Parliament and is available in English.

CCS Global October 2012
Partnering with the Wuppertal Institute LBST has analysed coal reserves and production for South Africa, India, and China as part of a comprehensive study on potentials for CCS (carbon capture and storage) in these countries. The study was mandated by the German Federal Ministry for the Environment and is now available online. It analyses in how far potential storage capacities are able to hold energy related CO2 emissions until 2050.

 

European Hydrogen Road Tour H2moves Scandinavia-Project started September 2012

The European Hydrogen Road Tour for the first EU-funded lighthouse project for hydrogen fuel cell vehicles kicked off on September 13. The project aims at providing proof for the market readiness of vehicle fuel cells and the associated hydrogen refuelling infrastructure under demanding Scandinavian climatic conditions. The European Road Tour communicates project results to a wider audience in those European countries, where a first market introduction is planned. The tour started in Hamburg with subsequent stops in Bolzano, Paris, Cardiff, Bristol, Swindon, and London before the arriving at the final destination in Copenhagen. A total of 7 fuel cell electric vehicles from project partners Daimler and Hyundai, as well as from cooperation partners Honda and Toyota are participating in the tour. LBST is the coordinator for the project and also contributes substantially to the tour organisation. More information under: www.scandinavianhydrogen.org/h2moves

 

Feasible Futures for the Common Good March 2012
Within the research project Feasible Futures, funded by the Austrian Climate- and Energy Funds (KLIEN) of the Austrian Federal Government, LBST provided the part “Assessment of Fossil Fuels Availability and of Key Metals Availability. Umweltbuero Klagenfurt was the Project Management. The project investigates how supply crises of fossil and metal resources might influence and endanger the transition to renewable energies.

 

Twelve New Hydrogen Refuelling Stations in 2011 Worldwide March 2012
Twelve new hydrogen refuelling stations opened throughout the world in 2011, bringing the total number of hydrogen refuelling stations in operation to 215. This is the result of the fourth annual assessment by H2stations.org, a website of Ludwig-Bölkow-Systemtechnik (LBST) and TÜV SÜD. Another 122 refuelling stations are in the final planning stage around the world.

 

Safe Hydrogen Infrastructure – March 2012 March 2012
In order to introduce hydrogen into road transport in the near future refuelling stations, car repair shops, parking garages and tunnels need to be approved safely and efficiently. For Germany, the present study [only available in German] describes the present situation and the efforts still needed to further improve it.
