This compilation of application-specific information forms part of the study "Development of Business Cases for Fuel Cells and Hydrogen Applications for European Regions and Cities" commissioned by the Fuel Cells and Hydrogen 2 Joint Undertaking (FCH2 JU). The study aims to support a coalition of currently more than 90 European regions and cities in their assessment of fuel cells and hydrogen applications to support project development. Roland Berger GmbH coordinated the study work of the coalition and provided analytical support.

The objective of the Qinghai Xining Urban Transport Project for China is to enable Xining residents to travel between the city center and the western part of Xining City in a fast, efficient, and safe manner, through strategic improvements to Wusixi road, a major transport and urban development corridor. The project consists of the following components: 1) urban roads; 2) public transport; 3) intelligent traffic management; and 4) institutional capacity building.

The objective of the Quito Metro Line One Project for Ecuador is to improve urban mobility in the city of Quito serving the growing demand for public transport. The Project will reduce travel time, decrease operational costs of the transport service, improve connectivity, security and comfort of the current system and reduce emissions of pollutants and greenhouse gases.

The development objective of the Global Environment Facility (GEF) Large City Congestion and Carbon Reduction Project for China are to help establish a policy framework to alleviate traffic congestion and reduce greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions in large cities in China primarily through public transport development and travel demand management, and implement such policy framework in pilot cities so as to demonstrate its local and global benefits. The project has four components. The first component provides supports at national level.

The objective of the Sao Paulo Metro Line 5 Project for Brazil is to improve the mobility of public transport users in the Capao Redondo-Largo Treze-Chacara Klabin corridor in a cost-efficient and environmentally-friendly manner. An extension of the project from June 30, 2014 to December 30, 2016 is proposed in view of the time lost to delays outside the control of the Borrower. A satisfactory action plan has been prepared and agreed upon with the client, covering the completion of project activities within the extended implementation period.

The objective of the Urban Transport Transformation Project is to contribute to the transformation of urban transport in Mexican cities toward a lower carbon growth path. There are three components to the project, the first component being capacity building.

The objective of the Global Environment Facility (GEF) Sustainable Transport and Air Quality Project for Brazil is to assist the selected agencies to: (i) reduce Greenhouse Gas (GHG) emissions growth rates by fostering a long term increase in the promotion of less energy intensive transport modes; and (ii) promote the implementation of policies and regulatory frameworks that foster the development of sustainable transport systems. There are six components to the project, the first component being freight transport.

The objective of the Sustainable Transport and Air Quality Project for Mexico is to assist the selected municipalities to: (i) reduce greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions growth rates by fostering long term increases in the use of less energy intensive transport modes; and (ii) induce policy changes in favor of sustainable transport projects. There are five components to the project. The first component of the project is freight management. This component will improve the planning, management, and control of freight transport in Ciudad Juarez.

The objective of the Sustainable Urban Transport Project (SUTP) for India is to promote environmentally sustainable urban transport in India and to improve the usage of environment-friendly transport modes through demonstration projects in selected cities. This restructuring, involves four components.

The Mexico City Insurgentes Bus Rapid Transit System Carbon Finance Project will contribute to reductions in local airborne pollutants and greenhouse gas emissions generated by the transport sector in the Metropolitan Area of Mexico City. This will be sought through the development of the first surface mass transport corridor in Mexico City (Insurgentes Avenue) and associated traffic management measures.
