7 The Energy Situation in NRW NRW 2008 Area Edinburgh Population 34,086 km² 18 million GDP 541 billion (#1 in Germany, #17 worldwide) Gainfully employed million Exports billion Imports billion

8 The Energy Situation in NRW Primary Energy Sources NRW 2008 Energy demand (PE) 4,300 PJ (> 75 % Import; > 30 % PE of Germany) Current share of renewables CO2 emissions ~5% 290 million tons CO2 reduction target by mill. tons (> 44% of Germany s CO2 reduction plan targets must be generated in NRW) Transport Sector Vehicles registered Passenger cars Trucks Public Transport buses Fuel Consumption: ~ 10 million ~ 9 million ~ 700,000 ~ 10,000 ~ 10 million tons/a Energy consumption of transport Transport s CO2 emissions share 8 23 % ~ 17 %

9 The Energy Situation in NRW Key Challenges for the Future Energy Supply Increase energy efficiency / Reduce energy demand Decrease dependency on fossil fuels Increase share of renewable sources Energy Policy is Technology Policy (Prof. Carl-Jochen Winter) How can the Transport Sector contribute? Future Transport offers excellent opportunities to Increase efficiency => optimized ICEs, electric drive train (BEV, FCEV) Introduce modern fuels => bio and syn fuels, electricity, hydrogen Reduce dependency on energy import => Renewable Energy Sources Source: Honda NRW considers the transport sector as one important tool to achieve energy efficiency and climate protection targets 9 9

11 NRW Strategy for a Hydrogen Energy Society Major reasons for NRW State Government to take action in the hydrogen and fuel cell business. Decrease of energy dependency and reduction of climate impacts by using own energy resources (e.g. coal and renewables) need for new secondary energy carriers like hydrogen Increase energy efficiency by developing and deploying advanced and most efficient energy technologies for all energy applications fuel cells Develop a new industry with key sectors involved (e.g. energy branch, automotive industry, chemical industry) with promising future perspectives for NRW. Facilitate a sustainable growth of a hydrogen society based on a appropriate infrastructure built-up and application deployment (avoid show cases). NRW State Government set up a new framework program in 2008: NRW Hydrogen HyWay Program 11

12 NRW Strategy for a Hydrogen Energy Society NRW Hydrogen HyWay Program (200 million total budget, current timeline ) Addressing key questions for market preparation: Hydrogen sources Infrastructure built-up strategy Vehicle Development and Deployment Stationary projects Special market applications 12

13 NRW Strategy for a Hydrogen Energy Society NRW Hydrogen HyWay Program ( 200 million total budget, 11 locations involved so far) Addressing key questions for market preparation: Hydrogen sources By-product hydrogen (industrial processes) Hydrogen from water treatment plants Renewable Hydrogen (import, own production) Hydrogen from large-scale coal gasification Objective: Diversified and sustainable H 2 supply 13

14 NRW Strategy for a Hydrogen Energy Society Short term - Hydrogen from Industrial Processes (By-product) Source: Wuppertal-Institute Around 350,000 tons/a of industrial by-product hydrogen are produced in NRW At least ~ tons/a of industrial by-product hydrogen mainly from chlorine electrolysis are available as energy carrier This amount of hydrogen is sufficient to operate either ~ 300,000 cars or ~ 6,000 buses Costs expected to be at natural gas level plus (plus compression and purification if needed) 14

15 NRW Strategy for a Hydrogen Energy Society Mid-term - Hydrogen from Water treatment plants ~ 670 water treatment plants in operation ~ 70 large-scale water treatment plants (> people equivalent) in NRW feasible for hydrogen technology ~ tons/a of hydrogen could be produced from digester gas (reformate) only ~ increase up to tons/a possible by introduction of efficient technologies, oxygen technology (via electrolysis) and co-fermentation of bio waste Source: Emscher Genossenschaft, Air Liquide ~ additional cars / buses Hydrogen production costs must be clarified! 15

16 NRW Strategy for a Hydrogen Energy Society Mid to long-term: Hydrogen from renewable sources (mainly wind power) Off Shore Wind Farms (30 GW in 2030) The GermanHy study 2008 stresses the role of renewable hydrogen % of hydrogen needed for transport purposes in Germany by 2050 will be provided by wind power (off-shore parks up to 40 GW by 2030) Hydrogen is needed for surplus storage and grid stabilization as well FutureFuelStation retail site will offer: Storage of renewable power by hydrogen Grid services (flex power, frequency control) Clean fuels for electric mobility 16

17 NRW Strategy for a Hydrogen Energy Society Long-term: Hydrogen from large-scale coal gasification plants (IGCC) 400 MW 600 MW MW 800 MW MW Coal (with CCS) is an important option for future energy supply in Germany 17,000 MW 660 MW Challenge: maximize efficiency e.g. by new product portfolios (power, heat, fuel, ) and capture and storage (or use) of CO MW 400 MW 800 MW 800 MW 800 MW Plans for new coal fired power plants with a total capacity of 17,000 MW in NRW (40,000 MW in Germany) including largescale-gasification concepts Hydrogen can easily be separated from IGCC processes (1 ton of lignite coal ~ 540 Nm 3 of hydrogen) Source: RWE First IGCC plant in NRW expected in

18 NRW Strategy for a Hydrogen Energy Society NRW Hydrogen HyWay Program ( 200 million total budget, 11 locations involved so far) Addressing key questions for market preparation: Hydrogen sources Infrastructure set-up Hydrogen pipeline opportunities Roll out plans based on cost analysis Include different technologies (onsite: reformers or electrolysers, remote: conv. bulk transport, pipeline) Define appropriate time lines Objective: Demand-oriented infrastructure set-up 18

19 NRW Strategy for a Hydrogen Energy Society Hydrogen pipeline infrastructure in NRW Length: 240 km Pressure: 20 bar In operation since 1930 s Operator: Air Liquide Nitrogen Oxygen Hydrogen Source:Air Liquide 19 Nucleus for infrastructure set-up

20 NRW Strategy for a Hydrogen Energy Society Infrastructure roll out plans for filling of FCEV and FC buses Investigation of priority sites for filling infrastructure along existing hydrogen pipeline, taking into account hydrogen availability, infrastructure conditions, costumer interest,... Mapping of high-priority sites to start with early infrastructure installations across NRW NRW stations (according to H2Mobility plans): 2012: 5 new stations 2015: 30 stations in total 2020: up to 200 stations 20

21 NRW Strategy for a Hydrogen Energy Society Existing and planned filling stations in NRW Automeile (70 MPa) EuWak Bottrop (35 MPa) Ewald Herten (20 MPa) Ford Aachen (35 MPa) 21 Chemergy Hürth (35 MPa)

22 NRW Strategy for a Hydrogen Energy Society NRW Hydrogen HyWay Program ( 200 million total budget, 11 locations involved so far) Addressing key questions for market preparation: Hydrogen sources Infrastructure set-up Vehicle Development and Deployment Development of FC buses for public transport FCEV deployment (collaboration with OEMs) Projects on special vehicles Objective: Secure availability of FC cars and buses for creating demand for hydrogen No construction of any H2 station until a strategy for vehicles exists!! 22

23 NRW Strategy for a Hydrogen Energy Society Public Transport will play the major role for setting up a hydrogen refilling infrastructure Reduction of hydrogen costs due to big demand per vehicle (10 x demand of cars) Several bus platforms (optimal: diesel-electric buses) suitable and available for FC integration High visibility and FC experience for large groups NRW focus: public transport projects Development of new FC buses involving bus manufacturers and local technology suppliers Demonstration projects including installation of repair and maintenance facilities Any vehicle with hydrogen demand welcome, like cars, bikes and utility vehicles 23
