UNIDO-ICHET
Towards a hydrogen inclusive economy
From air, soil and sea pollution to global climate change and rising sea levels, fossil fuels have decisively harmful impacts on the environment. A shift to a more environmentally friendly paradigm based on renewable energy sources and complemented by an efficient energy carrier is becoming inevitable. Clean, safe and efficient, hydrogen is this ideal energy carrier. Given the right political impetus, a hydrogen-inclusive economy can be implemented in the mid-term. The International Centre for Hydrogen Energy Technologies (ICHET) is a project of the United Nations Industrial Development Organization (UNIDO) founded in Istanbul in 2004 and supported by the Turkish Ministry of Energy and Natural

Resources. Its role is to stimulate this impetus in the developing world so as to prevent the widening of the energy and technology gap with the developed one while helping skipping over the fossil fuel phase. Since the establishment of its full human resource and laboratory structure in 2009, ICHET has been overtly active on all fronts of the hydrogen energy arena through supporting R&D and implementing demonstration projects.

H2 Ecocaravan
A new all-in-one low emission lifestyle
The Ecocaravan is a RV type vehicle, a self-sustained living space complete with all the modern facilities. Fitted with a small wind turbine and an array of photovoltaic cells, it is able to produce its own electricity from wind and solar energy or, in absence thereof, from the stored hydrogen obtained through electrolysis during excess electricity production. Its mobility, reactivity and flexibility are its distinctive hallmark: an autonomous self propelled living unit suitable for operation in remote areas or in emergency relief conditions. In October and November 2010, the Ekokaravan completed a promotional tour throughout 10 cities in Turkey in order to demonstrate its pollution-free, renewable energy based lifestyle. The Ekokaravan has since then been presented in major fairs in Istanbul and made a special appearance in Abu Dhabis World Future Energy Summit in January 2011 after a 10 days road trip through Syria, Jordan, Saudi Arabia and United Arab Emirates.

Partnerships
Join the hydrogen energy drive!
In 2009, the International Centre for Hydrogen Energy Technologies has become, through UNIDO, a full member of the Hydrogen Implementing Agreement of the International Energy Agency. It is the first UN body to integrate the IEA. ICHET is also engaged on the European scene through its participation to the European Commission N.ERGHY initiative and involvement with the Joint Research Centre. ICHET is supported by the Global Environment Facilities fund (GEF) and, through its demonstration projects and training activities, has linked with numerous corporate and academic partners. Thanks to the support of the Turkish State, ICHET has thus successfully launched a number of projects and initiatives in and outside of Turkey during the first phase of its existence. It is now seeking additional support or partnership from other governments or institutions in order to extend its network, broaden the geographic scope of its activities and strengthen its position as a global contributor to the field of hydrogen energy technologies.
