• 2050: 80% reduction goal fully achieved
• 2040: start of market penetration
• 2030: research finalized for 1st generation technology
Development period: unil 2040
Research period: until 2030
⇒ 15 years left for research => TRL 5 and higher
TRL 4 at least
This is not to say research at lower TRL levels is not useful,it will just not contribute to the 2050 goal

Intermittant Power Entails Overcapacity
Institute of Electrochemical Process Engineering (IEK-3) 9
Installed renewable power exceeds power demand on a regularbasis
renewable power needed = capacity factor x average power demand
• Averaged power demand for Germany: ~60GW
• Capacity factor for full renewable power supply
• Onshore wind 4.4
• Offshore wind 2.2@ no losses for reconversion considered

• Catalysts, particularly Ir substitute, and materials for electrolyzers• Cheaper carbon fibers or other fibers for hydrogen tanks for vehicles
high tensile strength / high Young‘s modulus• Fuel cell catalysts with low Pt-loading; e.g. core-shell structures• Gas separatrion membranes
• Bio-to-liquid & power-to-fuel processes• Power to chem: methanol production• Fine chemicals made out of CO2
Opportunities for the (Chemical) Industry
Institute of Electrochemical Process Engineering (IEK-3) 30
• A fully renewable energy supply entails overcapacity in installed power and hence “excess power”
• 80% of CO2 reduction requires interconnection of the energy sectors
• Hydrogen as fuel for automotives
• Hydrogenation steps in liquid fuel production from biomass and CO2
• Conversion of excess power to hydrogen and storage thereof is feasible on the scale needed (TWh)
• Over long distances mass transportation of gas is more effective than that ofelectricity
• Fuel cell vehicles are being introduced to the market by asian automakers
• Hydrogen as an automotive fuel is cost effective other than feed-in to the gas gridor reconversion to electricity
