2 Plan 1. Air Liquide short presentation 2. Energy Storage Focus on Cryogenic Energy Storage (CES) CES & Process: CryoHub as example 3. Cryogenic Clod Transportation: blueeze as example 4. Perspectives

3 Air Liquide short presentation Key figures & trends Major trends are shaping our markets

4 Air Liquide short presentation Essential Small Molecules... For over a century, Air Liquide has been exploring an extraordinarily fertile scientific territory: the essential small molecules TO LIFE TO MATTER TO ENERGY our scientific territory

5 Air Liquide short presentation Our playground Our molecules are involved in the value chain - procurement/ production/ storage/ distribution - of most industries and in the field of healthcare. In industry, they are present in sectors as varied as energy, metallurgy, chemistry, pharmaceuticals, automotive and agri-food. In health, they are important in home health care and at the hospital.

6 Energy Storage Why? Massive increase in renewable energy generation and expanding electric vehicle networks Important fluctuations at different time-scales in supply and demand Need to further increase energy efficiency and to reduce CO2 emissions Need for improved links between different energy carriers (e.g. electricity, gaseous fuels, liquid fuels, cold and heat)

7 Energy Storage Market In 2015, installed large-scale energy storage capacity world-wide was estimated at 150 GW (IEA) Forecast worldwide energy storage market (Source: Pike research) Forecast storage requirements in 2050 (IEA): 200 to 300 GW

8 Energy Storage Technologies

9 Cryogenic Energy Storage Advantages Classic technologies: Cost competitive Location flexible Environmentally friendly Pumped hydro storage Compressed air energy storage (CAES) Flow batteries/accumulators New technologies: Adiabatic CAES Liquid Air Energy Storage (LAES)??

10 Cryogenic Energy Storage Advantages Mature and approved technology Low-carbon energies Operational flexibility to power plants and industrial processes Increasing energy efficiency in industrial processes High energetic density

11 Cryogenic Energy Storage Keys of success Efficiency & Reliability Efficient and reliable rotating machines (compressor, expander, pumps ) Reliable and high performance components systems (heat exchangers, purification system, oil separator, valves, pipes ) An optimised architecture cycle for the liquefier Combined Cryogenic Energy Storage and Process Multi-energy: power, cooling and heating Additional services CAPEX optimization Industrialisation/Standardization of concepts should improve the economic benefits in the future

12 Cryogenic Energy Storage CryoHub as example CryoHub (EU-H2020) deals with developing Cryogenic Energy Storage at Refrigerated Warehouses as an Interactive Hub to integrate Renewable Energy in Industrial Food Refrigeration and to Enhance Power Grid Sustainability The aim of CryoHub is to: Balance the power grid mismatch between power demand and energy generation from renewables Store energy generated by renewables before supplying it back to the grid Provide an affordable cooling supply during power generation Increase the take-up of renewable energy Reduce peak power demand and help decarbonise the grid

13 Cryogenic Energy Storage CryoHub as example CryoHub concept is the association of 3 subsystems: Charge of excess or off-peak RNE by liquefying atmospheric air Liquid air storage in insulated tanks Liquid air vaporization for cold recovery, warehouse refrigeration and electricity generation during peak demand The CryoHub concept is like a Tri-generation system for better energy management of: Power, Cooling and Heating Applying CryoHub to 10% of refrigerated warehouses and food factories in the EU would: Save 9 MT CO2/year Shift 170 GWh/week from peak to low-grid production

14 Cryogenics: Making sense in refrigerated transportation Urbanization trend & needs for night deliveries to decrease traffic silent operation Uncertainties on diesel tax & price Increasing environmental & health stakes Local urban regulation («no diesel») Transport companies Prescribers Global warming : Need for alternative to HFC refrigerant (Strong GHG) Stronger requirements on cold chain Nitrogen cryogenic value proposition No noise: ideal for night deliveries (higher productivity, lower pollution & higher truck usage rate) Nitrogen is natural, inexhaustible & harmless to the environment : NO pollution in operation (No particulates, Nox, No2, HFC ) Cryogenic performance (-196 C) : secure the cold chain especially with frozen food No combustion engine : little maintenance / higher availability & lifetime, consistent cold chain over the years. Nitrogen is locally produced Best combination with CNG/LNG

15 Cryogenics: Making sense in refrigerated transportation blueeze TM a breakthrough in refrigerated transport Liquide Nitrogen filling station Customer On-board TRU Maintenance & services

16 Cryogenics: Making sense in refrigerated transportation Simple and modular equipment without any wear parts Technology without a thermal engine and a compressor: Consistent cold chain quality whatever the age of the cooling unit Reduced maintenance & maximum availability No HFC refrigerant & related requirements No required adaptation to vehicle engine Electrical autonomy with its own batteries Excellent CO2 footprint and LCA compared to mechanical units

17 Cryogenics: Making sense in refrigerated transportation and a puzzle piece in a comprehensive approach of clean mobility A multi-energy offer for clean transportation Air Liquide proposes a Bio-NGV / LIN offer within multi-energy re-fuelling stations Bio-NGV filling station (Natural Bio-Gas for Vehicles) Road transport Nitrogen supply Stations for Blueeze solution Running on natural gas reduces: Noise by 50% NOx emissions by 80% PM emissions by 90% CO 2 emissions by up to 90% Onboard cryogenic cold generator Extended range capability: More than 800km for a truck running on LNG Up to 400km for a truck running on CNG

18 Cryogenics: Making sense in refrigerated transportation Our vision: zero oil & one-stop re-fuelling

19 Perspectives Household waste Bio digester Biometh ane: CH4 > 98 % Natural Gas network Industrial & Agricultural waste Biogas Usable CH 4 (Biomethane ) Bio- CNG Bio-LNG Blue H 2 Purification Sludge Bio Feedstock Cryogenic Energy Storage Renewable energy

20 Perspectives The most promising new energy vectors for the future Smarter, Cleaner and Sustainable for Mobility and Industry
