Yvonne van Delft

2-1-2019 1

Powered by: TNO & ECN

2-1-2019 2

Fields of application:

Grid balancing: E-Storage hydrogen, methane, ammonia

Hydrogen use in industry (Electrification of industry): - In existing infrastructure: Refinery (HDS, hydrogenation), Ammonia- In future applications: CO2 – reuse (Methanol, DME), biomass processing

Installed Electrolysis power• > 1 MW electrolysis systems:

- Siemens- Hydrogenics

Large WE-scale….but need for cost reduction

Alexander Buttler, Hartmut SpliethoffRenewable and sustainable Energy Reviews 82 (2018) 2440-2454


• Goal:Develop a conceptual design and a transparent cost estimation methodology for a 1-GW electrolyser plant that is ready for start-up in 2030 and that delivers H2 a Total Annualised Cost level that is below the cost level of current H2 manufacturing technologies.

• Project duration: 1 nov 2018 to 31 aug 2021

• Coordinator:ISPT (System Integration Cluster)

• How can investment costs per cell be reduced? • What are the key barriers to overcome towards larger

cells?• What is the optimal configuration of cells into stacks?• Which turn-down levels and rates of the 1-GW

electrolyser should be assumed? • What is (are) the most suitable location(s)? • What are the projected costs over time, business

models and financial risks related to building and operating such facilities?

Hydrogen has to be used as the future energy carrier; therefor we need to invest in infrastructure for hydrogen and not into infrastructure for electricity………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………

The only thing that has to be done to make electrolysers cost-effective is upscaling………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………It is up to the industry to come with a plan for the implementation of Hydrogen as a energy carrier………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………

Should the government invest more in demonstration projects or in innovation?………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………

• Public-Private Shared Innovation Program initiated in 2015 by TNO, ECN and Topsector Chemistry.

• Accelerate innovation and implementation of electrification for achieving decarbonization in chemicals.

• Initiate and facilitate collaborative development of technology and associated business models.

• Addresses both the indirect and direct use of electricity within the chemical industry, involving stakeholders from chemicals, energy & equipment supply.
