9 Power-to-Biomethane Biogas hydrogen-assisted upgrading to biomethane Mass flow chart of electrolysis assisted biomethane plant (illustrative order of magnitudes, if all heat from methanation could be recycled) Source: SBC Energy Institute 1 Biomass feedstock is a maize silage of 5kWh ch /kg of dry matter, cultivated with a land yield of 0.63MW ch per km²; 2 the anaerobic digestion of maize silage requires heat and has a total efficiency of 68.7%. Heat is usually provided by burning some of the methane produced. Therefore, recycling heat from methanation increases the biomass-to-biogas efficiency of the unit; 3 thermochemical methanation at 77.7% hydrogen-to-methane efficiency; 4 Includes solid digestate and other energetic gases such as ammonia etc. 9

14 Project «Power-to-Gas Roadmap for Flanders» Duration: 14 months (01/10/ /11/2015) Funding: Flemish Region Project partners: Objectives: Analysis of actual and future status of Power-to-Gas (PtG) in Flanders and abroad (technology, economics, legal framework, market opportunities, PtG business cases calculation and identification of early markets, elaboration of a roadmap to prioritize the actions for Power-to-Gas in Flanders 14

15 Some hydrogen (H 2 ) basic maths H 2 is the most light element in universe 1 kg H 2 11,1 Nm³ H 2 39,4 kwh (HHV) 33,3 kwh (LHV) The production of 1 kg H 2 via water electrolysis requires +/- 10 l demin water (+/- 20 l of tap water) +/- 57 kwh electricity 1 kg H 2 allows you to drive +/- 100 km with FCEV The energy content of 1 Nm³ H 2 (0,0899 kg) is equivalent to 0.34 l gasoline The energy content of 1 kg H 2 (11,1 Nm³) is equivalent to 3,77 l gasoline Electrical power = Hydrogen flow / AC power consumption (all in) Example (HyStat-60-10): 60 Nm³/h * 5.2 kwh/nm³ = 312 kw e 15

16 Hydrogen provides the means to significantly increase the use of renewable energy across the entire energy demand spectrum Final energy consumption by fuel (EU-27, 2012) 50% 45% 40% 35% 30% 25% 20% 15% 10% 5% 0% 36% 35% 19% Transport fuel Gas Electricity Others 10% Green hydrogen Data source: European Environment Agency, Final energy consumption by sector and fuel (CSI 027/ENER 016) Assessment published Jan

17 Key conclusions Fuel Cells and water electrolysis are mature and proven technologies. Technology and market developments are very promising (efficiency, costs, flexibility, MW scale), especially for large scale applications Hydrogen Energy offers many synergies with other sectors (power, gas, mobility, chemistry, water) and with CO 2 There is a need for an appropriate regulation at EU and national levels and a need for demonstration projects (at large scale) Major global companies have made strategic moves towards hydrogen technologies (Toyota, Hyundai, EON, Alstom ) The energy sector is undergoing a major transformation green hydrogen is part of it! We are ready! 17
