CO 2 Electrofuels Kick-off Event: Sustainable Energy Systems 2050 Radisson Blu Royal Hotel, Helsinki October 12th, 2011 Claus Friis Pedersen
Future transportation energy demand Nordic Energy demand by transport mode KTOE ”Foresight Analysis: Nordic Strategies for Renewable Transport” Heavy transportation will account for the majority of the transportation energy demand
CO 2 Electrofuels CO 2 H 2 CO 2 Electrofuels CO 2 electrofuels can double fuels produced from existing biomass
The CO 2 Electrofuel CHEMREC Energy to Succeed Is CO 2 electrofuels a viable and competitive technology for the Nordic countries?
Project Background Power CO 2 + Further studies required on: 1. Reduction of electrolysis CAPEX & OPEX 2. Feedstock, electricity, CO 2 , water & steam etc. 3. Synthetic fuel infrastructure (Methanol, SNG, DME)
Electrolysis Cost reduction Alcaline Elektrical Potential 1) Efficiency PEM SOFC SOEC 2) SOFC & SOEC Electrical Current 3) H 2 O & CO 2 Electrolysis H 2 O H 2 + O 2 CO 2 CO SOEC has a potential for up to 50% cost reduction

Feedstock analysis CO 2 Power CO 2 and Power availability determines CO 2 Electrofuel cost
Biogas Example Biogas 60% CH 4 BioGas Biogas Upgrade 40% CO 2 CH 4 40 PJ CO 2 ”Electro - gas” Fuel Electrolysis H 2 CH 4 , 27 PJ synthesis Grid load balancing and 65% more fuel with CO 2 electro-gas.
Summary • CO 2 Electrofuels can – Potentially double heavy transportation fuels – Provide grid load balancing • New electrolysis technology is developed and feedstock and economics are analysed by 10 Nordic partners • End goal is to quantify the potential and possible roll- out of CO 2 Electrofuels in the Nordic region and to propose first demonstration sites and assocoated investments 10
