Hydrogen in the Global Energy System Clean Transport and More Presented by Craig Knight, September 2019 Asian Utility Week – Kuala Lumpur
The case for Hydrogen – now it is urgent Innovation Insights Brief World Energy Council 2019 There is growing belief in the role of hydrogen in a cleaner future
Hydrogen will be an Integral part of Energy Systems Fuel Cell EV’s have no impact on the electricity grid, and can be operated and refueled the same as ICE vehicles A key benefit: hydrogen power can be generated close to the point Energy & of consumption; Environmental Science Journal no distribution 2019 Issue 2 network impact
Hydrogen in Automotive Applications Automotive applications are expected to be the major driver in hydrogen utilization. Hydrogen based electric mobility is here; widespread adoption simply needs realistic carbon pricing and removal of subsidies on Prediction: 2040 fossil fuel based systems. “new H2 uses” Innovation Insights Brief World Energy Council 2019
Great Economics on FC Heavy Vehicles (FCHV) Green hydrogen is made when electricity is free or very cheap, and electricity grids are not impacted by hydrogen infrastructure.
China BEV* Adoption a Lesson for FCEV * Battery Electric Vehicle With almost 500,000 electric buses in China, the Chinese government has removed incentives on battery EV’s altogether, in favour of Fuel Cell EV’s
The Current State of FCEV Deployments With higher power fuel cells, applications are expanding into port equipment, trains and ships
Coming back to the Enabling Role of Hydrogen Hydrogen is the energy vector that harnesses many other technologies; aiding the decarbonization of transport, heating, industrial processes and power generation Ongoing technology improvements in the generation, storage and transport of hydrogen will continue to expand its role in the energy system
Fuel Cells in Power Generation PEM Fuel Cells can add value in flexible generation; while SOFC and other high-temperature fuel cell technologies can add value in baseload generation
