9 Electrochemical better than mechanical compression Classical pumps need: Minimum feed pressure Multi-stage configuration Interstage cooling Regular maintenance

10 EHC: Energy efficient H 2 compression (kwh / kg H 2 ) Electrochemical compression (isothermal) has lower energy demand than adiabatic compression (mechanical compressors)

11 Compression Record Electro-chemical compression achieved 1000 bar (14504 PSI) successfully.

12 state-of-the-art electrochemical hydrogen compression & purification Compression capability; from 10 to 450 bar: Typical purification capability (literature): Feed gas: 10% H 2 / 90% N 2 Energy demand: 4 kwh / kg H 2 Purity: >99% (HyET has done 99.5% before) C. Casati et al., J. Power Sources 180 (2008) p First HyET results: 99.5%; rest water Perm.-select. H 2 /X X=CO: 5000 X=CO 2 : 1000 (ref. 4)

13 EHC Roadmap Improve energy efficiency Increase P(output) 1000bar Reduce P(input) <6 bar Reduce cell pitch <1 mm Conduct lifetime studies BOP System integration Cost reduction Incremental improvements anticipated for the hydrogen compressor unit Targeting customer specifications and applications.

14 Compression Scale-up Application Pump rate capacity up to 100 MPa output pressure 2014 Research Instrument 0.01 [ kg/day ] Labscale Equipment 0.2 Home Refueling Pilot HRS tile Modular systems Public Hydrogen Refueling Station 200 Industrial scale >2000 Growth Path spiral

15 Float glass atmosphere Metal industry Semiconductor industry Applications / markets Hydrogenation/cracking/desulferisation at oil refineries, (petro)chemical industry Fat hardening foodstuff Space craft propulsion Steam turbine generator coolant Ammonia production fertilizer: N 2 + 3H 2 NH 3 Renewable energy storage Fuel cell car refueling at hydrogen refueling stations

16 HyET at Hyvolution 2016 HyET seeks: Industry partners for development, field test and deployment of EHC technology Research partners for cell component development focus on membrane Potential consortium partners for the FCHJU2 AWP 2016 call

17 HyET develops cutting-edge EHC technology, suitable for multiple applications Summary Purification with high selectivity towards hydrogen Compression up to 1000 Bar output pressure Sourcing from (contaminated) hydrogen gas mixtures Low CAPEX & OPEX (low power consumption & low maintenance requirement expected) Stand-alone 2 kg/d Electro-chemical Hydrogen System operational in 2015.
