6 What is the Contest? The annual Hydrogen Student Design Contest challenges university students to design hydrogen energy applications for real-world use. Supported by the Industry and Government Technical, multidisciplinary competition Engineering Architecture/planning Industrial design Economics Business/marketing Environmental science Political science Chemistry 6

7 History of Contest Began in 2004 Past themes: Hydrogen Micro-Grid Drop-in Fueling Station Hydrogen Fueling Infrastructure Planning Residential Fueling Designing a Hydrogen Community Green Buildings with Hydrogen Hydrogen Applications for Airports Hydrogen Power Park Hydrogen Fueling Station Several winning designs were built, e.g. the 2008 winning design is now an active hydrogen fueling station at Humboldt State University

8 The Challenge Develop a design for a system that uses electricity to produce hydrogen for cross market uses, including energy storage, ancillary services, and transportation fuel. The teams will choose a site in their area, engage their local electric and gas utility, coordinate with regulatory bodies and safety experts, and create educational materials, including a short video. 8

21 CA Needs Energy Storage

22 What is Power-to-Gas (P2G)» P2G is the process of converting excess renewable energy to a gaseous fuel (hydrogen or methane).» P2G allows for storing large amounts of energy for long durations.» P2G can help California reach its Renewable Energy goals. hydrogen can also be stored directly in the pipeline excess renewable energy goes through electrolysis which splits water molecules to produce hydrogen hydrogen & carbon combine through methanation methane can be stored or transported on the pipeline

23 P2G Provides Seasonal Storage

24 P2G Creates Flexibility 24

25 A vision of what s possible GERMANY GERMANY S RENEWABLE ENERGY STORAGE Potential for electrolysis is estimated at up to 170GW which could power 114 million homes. Source: Commercialisation of Energy Storage in Europe, 2014
