3 Outline 1. Hydrogen market applications and rationale for liquid hydrogen 2. HYPER- liquefied hydrogen production from surplus wind/hydro power and fossil sources in Norway (KPN project) 3. Scale and duty targeted by Hyper possibilities in a Norwegian context 4. Results and research tasks in the Hyper project on hydrogen production and liquefaction 5. Conclusions 3

4 Applications of hydrogen Why liquid hydrogen? Power production Industry Transport 4 Domestic use heating/cooking

5 The Hyper concept The main objective of Hyper: is to generate the fundamental knowledge required to enable the planning, construction and operation of a pilot (mid-term) and commercial (long-term) decarbonised hydrogen production, liquefaction and export facility/plant based on Norwegian fossil and renewable energy resources, 5 targeting emerging regional markets (e.g. North Western Europe, specifically Germany, the UK and the NL) and global markets (e.g. Japan)

6 Examples of scale of production Scale of the Hyper project Hydrogen fuelling station Domestic use in industry (Tizir, Tyssedal) Production, liquefaction of LH 2 for long-distance bulk transport Source: Kawasaki Heavy Industries ton/d ( MW) x 10 x ton/d ( 50 MW) x 15 x ton/d (> 1000 MW) 6 x

7 TWh/a Primary energy sources in Norway Hydropower 0 Wind power Data source: Statistics Norway, Norsk Petroleum Natural gas : Wind 500 : 1

8 Scale and duty requirements Energy requirement If 500 tons per day of hydrogen is produced entirely by water electrolysis Water splitting (70 75 % conv. efficiency MW el ) and hydrogen compression, liquefaction and utilities ( MW el ) total power requirement: GW el Annual electrical energy requirement (95% availability): TWh el /a Corresponds to 7-8 % of annual hydro power production (most likely to be consumed in one point) If 500 tons per day of hydrogen is produced entirely by natural gas reforming Natural gas requirement: 0.7 GSm 3 /a Compared to Hammerfest LNG: 15% of the NG liquefaction capacity and CO 2 sequestration about 2.5 times current rate Hydrogen liquefaction, CCS, utilities: 0.14GW el Annual electrical energy requirement (95% availability): TWh el /a

9 Scale and duty requirements production volume rate and storage Prospective LH 2 carrier 4 x m t Envisioned production volume: 500 tons per day o Required volume for one m 3 ship loading every 3 weeks (16 calls annually) o Comparison, Snøhvit LNG plant: calls per year Energy flux in the hydrogen product stream: o 5.8 kg/s * 142 MJ HHV /kg 820 MW HHV Corresponds to about 7 TWh per year of energy output Theoretical minimum storage volume: m3.

14 Conclusions Norway has a large potential for utilising its energy resources for large scale hydrogen production for export o In the near future a major portion of the hydrogen could be produced from natural gas with CCS o Several production sites in Norway are interesting for further investigation o More detailed case studies to understand barriers and cost picture are needed The Hyper project will contribute to investigate the potential for large scale hydrogen production and liquefaction in Norway o through evaluation and analysis of the different elements required for hydrogen production and liquefaction Hydrogen production and export from Norway may be a very interesting option to o valorisation of our energy resources meeting an emerging demand o contributing to reductions in global CO 2 emissions - transport, industry and power prod o realising new industrial-scale CCS projects 14
