20 Domestic renewable resources to reach 100 per cent renewable energy by 2050 Danish Commission on Climate Change Policy, 2010 PJ per year Used today (2008) Potential 2050 (recommendation) Wind scenario Gross energy consumption 2008 Gross energy consumption 2050 Energinet.dk analysed high wind scenario 20 Source: Renewable gases as a flexibility provider for the power grid 0 Wind Sun Fluctuating Wave Heat (sun, geo. and heat pump) power production Biomass and waste (incl. slurry) 20

21 Carbon sources Biomass Most probably EJ/year Availability could thus be bottleneck CO 2 Carbon capture and sequestration and air capture Easy from gasification based bio CHP plants Minimum energy required for CO 2 capture from air: 139 kwh/t Very costly (fossil resources) Gas CO 2 from heavy industry (Cement + Steel) Cement production emit 5 % of total CO 2 Steel production emit 4-7 % of total CO 2 21 Breaking the biomass bottleneck of the fossil free society, Henrik Wenzel JBH

22 Synergy between SOEC and ammonia synthesis Ammonia Air H 2 O SOEC Syn Gas Ammonia Synthesis H 2 O Steam 22

23 Ammonia Synthesis Gas Generation by SOEC Efficiency = 77 % on exergy basis 71 % on LHV basis Steam from NH3 loop Steam SOEC 1 SOEC SOEC SOEC SOEC SOEC SOEC SOEC Recycle to SOEC Air Cooler Recycle to SOEC BFW Condensate Syngas to NH3 loop 23

24 Conclusions It is possible to produce Hydrogen, SNG, MeOH, DME, gasoline and ammonia with high efficiency by use of SOEC, gasification and electrical driven methane reforming SNG should be produced by CO 2 + H 2 methanation, whereas methanol syn gas should be produced by co-electrolysis Coupling SOEC with fermentation or gasification can extend biomass potential by a factor of New Solid Oxide Electrolysis based ammonia synthesis process eliminates air separation unit and have very high efficiency We probably need all of above 24
