Large scale energy storage by using NFuel technologies

25-9-2017 Hans Vrijenhoef

Proton’s NFUEL Plan

• New storage medium for sustainable energy
• Large quantities to store energy (e.g 30 GWH

storage for later usage in a short time period)

• Simple to introduce using existing facilities
• Proven technologies
• Possibilities to improve technology by learing

curve

• Possible in all countries in the world depending

sources ( flexible energy source!)

• Large and small scale possibilities

Decentralized production

• f Ammonia for usage as a

fuel, fertilizer or de-nox

Proton’s power-to-ammonia plant

Power2ammonia:

Innovation hurdles

Power2ammonia/ Flaredgas2ammonia/hydrogen2ammonia= Energy2ammonia

• THE WORD AMMONIA IS PROBLEM, so NFUEL!!
• PROVEN PLANTS, BUT NOT ON SMALL SCALE
• Not sexy to use existing technologies in new innovation
• The use of storage of green energy is denied/ try to avpid
• No entity takes the innitiative to store energy since all stakeholders expect somebody else to take

the action (so, not MY problem!)

• Commercial Value for this storage is not considered today, but needed in future. Who is first!
• The lack of interest in green chemicals, but growing slowly.
• The lack of interest in grid stabilisation ( should be organised by smart grids)
• The lack of conscienceness that large storage is needed in case we wish Paris Climate Agreement

to work

• Power companies like to expand grid versus new technology ( chemistry) .
• The lack of doing pilot test(s) at larger scale, only small subsidies to find out new technologies to

prove for small scale!

Support needed for succes

• Policy needed for large scale projects
• Solving the huge storage needs to overcome seasons
• Supporting Paris Climate Innitiative
• Out of box thinking for short term solution and future solution
• Tests for 20-50 MW to store in volumes of 20-200 MW to solve issue
• Flexible sourcing needed, power from solar, wind , geothermal, tidal
• New R&D for new technologies to make hydrogen or Nfuel direct
• Incentives to store sustainable energy
• Seasonal/ long term
• Use the benefits from sustainable energy taxes for development/sponoring
• Put taxes on imports of energy without Co2 reduction/ sustainable sources.
