Hydrogen as transportation fuel - Danish & Scandinavian Activities

The need for a replacement of fossil fuels is of increasing importance. Onwards 2030 the world population will increase by 24% and the number of cars worldwide will increase by 50%. To supply this increase in energy consumption will take an increase of 66% in global oil production. Such an increase is challenging given the fact that oil production is in decline in 33 of the 48 largest oil producing countries, and for every barrel of oil found the world consumes two barrels. Hydrogen is internationally recognized as a long term solution for replacing gasoline and diesel in the transportation sector and a solution for balancing increasing future renewable energy input in the energy system. Even though hydrogen as transportation fuel is a long term solution the early demonstration and commercial introduction of hydrogen and fuel cell cars in the transportation sector will happen during the coming decade. Recent indication from fuel cell manufacturers and the car industry suggest that

替代化石燃料的需求日益紧迫。预计到2030年，全球人口将增长24%，全球汽车保有量将提升50%。为满足由此带来的能源消费增长，全球石油产量需增加66%。然而这一产量增幅极具挑战：全球48个主要产油国中已有33个出现石油产量下滑，且每新探明1桶石油，全球就会消耗2桶石油。氢能被国际社会公认为交通领域替代汽油、柴油的长期解决方案，同时也是平衡未来日益增长的可再生能源输入、优化能源系统的有效手段。尽管氢能作为交通燃料属于长期方案，但交通领域氢能与燃料电池汽车的早期示范及商业化引入工作将在未来十年内展开。近期燃料电池制造商与汽车行业的相关动向表明
