Hydrogen as an Energy Carrier

Actual tr trend An « urgent » » ch change in in th the energy market is is needed

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 CO2 and CH4 emissions

• Reduction of GHG emissions from industry
• Reduction of GHG emissions in the transport sector
• Increasing the rewable energy production
• Decouple energy production from energy emissions

World energy consumtption On-site industrial H2 « Hydrogen mobility » « Hydrogen energy » – Power-to-Gas H2 as an energy carrier

Hydrogen: Ess ssentia ial l tod

Massively used as raw material for industry

• Produced / transported / used since more than 100 years
• 60 Mio. T / year = 29 billion € market (non energy puposes)

An unlimitted ressource: most abundant element on earth

• in hydrocarbons, specialy in methane (CH4)
• Mostly in water (H2O)

A high energy content

• Fuel for space engines
• 1 kg H2 = 33 kWh ( about 3 times the energy content of conventional fuels)
• 1 kg H2 = more than 100 km when used in a fuel cell car

Worldwide increase of Electricity production

Coal Nuclear Renewable Natural gas Hydroelectricity Liquids

Limits of today’s renewable technologies

• Non regular production
• Grid saturation
• Not predictable

The production of renewable energies in the energy mix requires to value these surpluses and therefore depends on the smoothing and storage of production

Hydrogen is the most suitable technology for the mass storage over a long duration

(1) Superconduction Magnetic Energy Storage

World HRS network

About 400 vs > 230 000 gasoline stations (Europe, US, Japan, South-Corea)

Investment per HRS

• Depending on capacity, delivery pressure and if

there is on-site production - 0,2 – 2 Mio. € Forecast HRS GB Forecast HRS Germany

Vehicles fueled with renewable H2 are carbon-free and have the same advantages as conventional vehicles

Batteries

• Range: 120 – 400 km
• « refuelling »: 1/2 to 8 hr
• For urban use

Fuel Cell

• Range: 500 – 600 km
• « refuelling »: 3 to 5 min, < 50 €
• For any vehicle type

Range

European road transport ~ 17 % of total CO2 emissions Neccessary reduction of 95 %

Example of building a deployment strategy « H2 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 CO2 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
