Working Group on Hydrogen/NG mixtures

Working Group Coordinator: Ezio Volpi, Metatron (Italy)


Statement by NGVA Europe:

CNG vehicle technology allows the use of up to 20% hydrogen/ 80% methane mixtures.

“Hydrogen mixtures could be used as a transition fuel towards the use of pure hydrogen, to facilitate the introduction of hydrogen powered vehicles in Member States where the natural gas infrastructure is good”.

This quotation is taken from the Regulation PE-CONS 3674/08 on type approval of hydrogen Powered motor vehicle, and amending Directive 2007/46/EC, paragraph 8, page 6. Thus vehicles using mixtures of H2 + CH4 are considered as hydrogen vehicles.

This definition included in the Regulation of the type approval of hydrogen vehicles will bring stimulus to the mass production (before this regulation mixtures powered vehicles had to be type approved with an ad hoc procedure).
