The H2 Ekokaravan is a self-sustained RV-type vehicle fitted with a wind turbine and an array of photovoltaic cells. Complete with all the modern facilities, it is able to produce its own electricity from wind and solar energy or from the stored hydrogen obtained through electrolysis during excess electricity production.
ICHET has initiated a series of pilot projects aiming at raising public awareness of hydrogen energy technologies and developing locally the competences and skills required for their integrated implementation.
Technology transfer to local engineers and scientists.
ICHET is organizing workshops and seminars for the training of students, engineers and scientists willing to join the hydrogen energy drive and participate to the upcoming energy revolution.
ICHET supports hydrogen energy related initiatives worldwide. Demonstration projects benefit from a $10,000 financing for feasibility study, followed by up to $1,000,000 for project implementation. The Centre also supports scientists, engineers and industrialists by providing access to laboratories, conferences and workshops.
Organized by the International Centre for Hydrogen Energy Technologies (UNIDO-ICHET) , the First Black Sea Hydrogen Sulphide Workshop will take place on 14-15 December in Istanbul Green Park Hotel. This symposium will address a range of issues related to the technical and economical feasibility of industrial extraction of gaseous hydrogen from the hydrogen sulphides dissolved in the Black Sea. Hydrogen as a fuel is at the core of key technologies that will facilitate the transition to a low carbon economy in the future. Because its most common production process through electrolysis has an energy cost comparable to its yield, it is nowadays most often envisioned as a medium for the temporary storage and transportation of the energy produced from renewable sources such as wind and sun.
With over 50,000 Google hits (as of 17th October 2011) for the "Boozcaada Hidrojen" request, the Turkish web has started buzzing with references to last Friday event. Here below you will find a regularly updated account of the media coverage this event has benefitted from.
UNIDO-ICHET R&D Director Dr. Suha Yazici presented a comparison of electric and fuel cell vehicle technologies during·the 3rd Green Business (Yeşil İş) Conference, which took place on 7-8·October 2001 in Istanbul and was attended by a wide range of national and international companies.
An experimental renewables-hydrogen energy installation implemented by UNIDO-ICHET was inaugurated on 7 October 2011 on the Aegean island of Bozcaada in the presence of local authorities and members of the press.
