BONG-HYTitle of the Sub-Project: BONG-HY - parallel applications of Blends Of Natural Gas and HYdrogen in internal combustion engines and fuel cells Description: The transition towards a Hydrogen Economy needs a lot of intermediate steps, for technology development, infrastructure preparation, as well as for public acceptance. Use of blends of hydrogen and natural gas in vehicles, in internal combustion engines or in fuel cells constitutes a possible approach to speed up the process of the diffusion of a hydrogen "culture". The activity shall promote - in the long term - the application of hydrogen as a fuel for mobility, especially for industrial vehicles, such as urban buses and waste collecting vehicles. The Activities that will be carried out concern the use of hydrogen/natural gas blends in Internal Combustion Engines and in Solide Oxide Fuel Cells for the application in industrial vehicles. The main goal is to obtain the largest environmental benefits possible. The different possibilities for an economic and safe storage of hydrogen, especially novel hydrids and their implication for the distribution systems as well as for engine components, will be studied. Development, homologation and safety studies will help the creation of a new infrastructure where the synergism between natural gas and hydrogen could accelerate the penetration of new low impact vehicles. The results of both the studies and the experimentations will be widely diffused. The partners will conduct parallel studies and experimentation on different but complementary topics. Therefore, common studies and results will be shared sustainably between the partners of the different regions. The results of the developed technologies can be applied to the automotive sector. Within the project there is a synergism between public and private bodies in all participating Regions. Since BONG-HY represents the first step of a wider program (the BEAM project) the partnership between public and private bodies will survive in the BEAM framework.
