Key Note Speaker Dr Michel Junker Hydrogen as an Energy Carrier
Actual tr trend An « urgent » » ch change in in th the energy market is is needed World energy consumtption Very high growth of worldwide population - 8,4 bil. in 2030 vs 6,9 bil. en 2010 Growth of energy consumption - Necessary to maintain the level of comfort and development Climate Change - Increase of GHG emissions - Increasing temperature Need to reduce the CO 2 and CH 4 emissions On-site industrial H2 - Reduction of GHG emissions from industry « Hydrogen mobility » - Reduction of GHG emissions in the transport sector « Hydrogen energy » – Power-to-Gas - Increasing the rewable energy production H2 as an energy carrier - Decouple energy production from energy emissions

Example of building a deployment strategy « H 2 Mobilité France »
H2 from renewables, through water electrolysis offers the opportunity to integrate renewable generation as well as smooth the loading factor of nuclear plants; - - to be used as energy carrier for different applications (on-site electricity, heat & transport); To decarbonise other sectors by injection into the gas grid = combination with CO 2 to - produce synthetic methane or higher HC’s
SMR: Steam Methane Reforming Hydrogen production supports integration of high proportion of renewable electricity into the grid and offers opportunities to develop new business models in the energy sector

in the early years of deployment
• On-site hydrogen production through electrolysis (renewable electricity) is an opition in the first the first deployment projects Car sharing initiatives
