1 Nuon Magnum as a super-battery Flexible power and storage from CO 2 neutral fuel Symposium Wind-meets-Gas Alexander van Ofwegen 14 September 2017

2 Paris Climate Agreement Ambition: globale average temperature increase well below 2 C, strive for 1.5 C

3 How to reach a carbon free energy system in NL 11-21

7 Batteries at Princess Alexia wind park Princess Alexia wind park: 122 MW Nuon installed batteries to offset peaks and troughs Since this summer 88 BMW i3 car batteries operational, placed in 2 battery containers, total capacity 3 MW Capacity increased to in total 12 MW (6 additional battery containers) 7

8 Nuon Magnum as super-battery - Use of H 2 (and NH 3 ) instead of CH 4 Nuon Magnum facts 3x MHPS 701F4 gas turbine combined cycles (CCGT) Output 3 x 437 MW e, (ca. 2 million households) State of the art, year of commissioning 2013 Flexible (daily start/stop) and highly efficient Good logistic and spatial options

10 High-level timelines Magnum project Start project 2018 Investment decision Conversion 1 st CCGT 2026 Local H 2 /NH 3 production (>2030) 2016 Development of value chain Start permitting process Conversion 2 n and 3 rd CCGT First step: H 2 /NH 3 from CH 4 + pre-combustion CCS Second step: H 2 /NH 3 : from renewable sources (NL and imports)

11 Cooperation Statoil Gasunie Nuon Joint project to evaluate the possibilities to use carbon free hydrogen in Magnum power station Production of hydrogen by converting natural gas into hydrogen with CCS + storage of CO 2 in underground facilities offshore Norway Transport of hydrogen to Magnum power station and possible temporarily storage Dispatchable and carbon free power generation using hydrogen instead of natural gas in Magnum power station

12 Supply options H 2 from CH 4 + CCS Option 1: H 2 production in Norway Option 2: H 2 production in NL Option 3: NH 3 production in Norway Abbreviations; CCGT = Magnum power plant; SMR = steam methane reforming plant to split natural gas into hydrogen and CO 2 HB = Haber Bosch process to convert hydrogen into ammonia Decarbonisation of the energy system - the Magnum case Symposium "Wind-meets-Gas"
