Abstract
The main goal of the project is to identify the technologies of production, storage and hydrogen use, both in a centralized as in a decentralized way and as land transport fuel, analyzing the problems that each of them generate, the challenges posed, the investigation lines that are being developed, trying to summarize finally the primary energy sources more suitable in each case, the investment and operation expected costs, the predictable technology marketing term (in case they are not already available), the impact of each of them in terms of CO2 emissions (and therefore, its potential to save energy over traditional technologies based in fossil fuels) and, finally, the preparation of a public-private partnership that allows the gradual starting off of these projects, as well as the association of the citizenship of these regions to carry out the effort.
The Tenerife Energy Agency cooperated in the elaboration of the perception program that was carried out during in the year 2006.
