AN ANALYSIS WITH HYDROGEN APPLICATION IN THE MOBILITY SECTOR - POSSIBLE KEY VALUE PROPOSITIONS FOR PRESENT AND FUTURE MOBILITY APPLICATION

Renewable Energy Sources (RES) and efficiency improvements are the key factor for future energy application and energy transformation processes. The huge amounts of fossil fuel like coal, gas and oil that are burned daily through human activities, increasing demand by the growing economies and world population are changing dramatically our present environmental situation on earth. Hydrogen (H-2) as a green sustainable secondary energy source can help moving into an independent and "earth" friendly energy future. The objectives of the article show the possible adoption, acceptance and diffusion on a realistic Energy application in present. This application is in the mobility market segment, which will be transformed in an environmental friendly energy sector in the coming years through technical, political and legal changes. The important value propositions of these applications will be discussed and evaluated using H-2 as a green energy source. Methodologically a primary energy model is used to show the efficiency chain from Well to Wheel and consequences for environmental and economic issues. The result will be analyzed and the important value propositions derived. The key value propositions and some economic and ecological key characteristics are discussed. These values will give an overview of present and future issues in this energy sector. New possible innovation processes with a new rethinking pattern could be the result out of the research. Further conclusions of this analysis can be used as one tiny mosaic part, for a possible energy transformation future with H-2 as a green energy source.
