Hydrogen is\u00a0to be\u00a0produced in\u00a0an environmentally friendly way\u00a0within the\u00a0\u201cH2 Impulse\u201d project <\/strong>and\u00a0then used as\u00a0zero-emission fuel for\u00a0fuelling urban buses. The\u00a0regional component is\u00a0a decisive factor in\u00a0the project: hydrogen is\u00a0produced using wind energy in\u00a0the German Aviation and\u00a0Space Hub\u00a0(DLR), situated in\u00a0nearby Hardth\u00e4user Wald. Then it\u00a0is either used locally or\u00a0transmitted to\u00a0regional users, i.e. in\u00a0Neuenstadt. Therefore the\u00a0environmental balance of\u00a0harmful emissions from production through the\u00a0end user is\u00a0close to\u00a0zero.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Within the\u00a0project at\u00a0the invitation of\u00a0OVR Solaris presented an\u00a0innovative bus, the\u00a0Urbino 12 hydrogen, to\u00a0project participants representing the\u00a0County of\u00a0Heilbronn, the\u00a0city of\u00a0Neustadt am\u00a0Kocher, the\u00a0municipalities of\u00a0Hardthausen, Langenbrettach and\u00a0Wirtschaftsf\u00f6rdergesellschaft Raum Heilbronn (WfG, an\u00a0industrial development agency operating in\u00a0the Heilbronn region). <\/p>\n\n\n\n A hydrogen fuel cell installed in\u00a0the Urbino 12 hydrogen acts as\u00a0a micro-power-plant producing energy and\u00a0fuelling the\u00a0vehicle directly. It\u2019s a\u00a0zero-emission bus, only water and\u00a0heat are\u00a0the by-products of\u00a0the chemical reaction in\u00a0the cell, so\u00a0a cleaner means of\u00a0transport would be\u00a0hard to\u00a0find.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Solaris presented its\u00a0hydrogen-powered bus, the\u00a0Urbino 12 hydrogen in\u00a0Neuenstadt am\u00a0Kocher, Germany.
