Hymac – Plan for the Implementation of the Hydrogen Economy in Macaronesia: Stationary Applications<\/h3>\n

The main objective of the HYMAC project \u201cPlan for the Implementation of the Hydrogen Economy in Macaronesia: Stationary Applications\u201d was to identify technologies for the production, storage and use of hydrogen, both centralized and decentralized, and as a fuel for land transport.<\/p>\n

To achieve this objective, an analysis was made of the problems of each of these technologies, the challenges they pose, the existing lines of research, finally trying to summarize the most appropriate primary energy sources for each case, the expected investment and operating costs, the expected time to market and the impact of each of them in terms of CO2 emissions (and therefore their potential savings over traditional technologies based on fossil fuels). Finally, a Perception Program was carried out in order to involve citizens in the effort to achieve a new \u201cHydrogen Economy\u201d. <\/p>\n

The project was financed by the INTERREG IIIB – MAC Community Initiative, and ended in November 2006. The University of Las Palmas de Gran Canaria coordinated the implementation of the project, with the participation of the Instituto Tecnol\u00f3gico de Canarias (ITC), ITER, UNELCO, Electricidade Dos A\u00e7ores (EDA), the Government of the Canary Islands, the Lanzarote Council, the Mancomunidad Intermunicipal del Sureste de Gran Canaria, the Federaci\u00f3n Ecologista Canaria Ben Magec, the company Air Liquide, the Ag\u00eancia Regional da Energia e Ambiente da Regi\u00e3o Autonoma da Madeira (AREAM), the Laborat\u00f3rio de Ambiente Marinho e Tecnolog\u00eda – A\u00e7ores (LAMTec), the Compa\u00f1\u00eda Transportista de Gas de Canarias (GASCAN) and the Tenerife Council. <\/p>\n

The Tenerife Energy Agency participated in the Perception Program of the project, through a Collaboration Agreement with ITER, to carry out several informative-educational actions during 2006 aimed at the general public and the educational sector, at all levels:<\/p>\n
