SET-PLAN IMPLEMENTATION

Transcription

1 SET-PLAN IMPLEMENTATION The Steering Group of the SET-Plan in its last meeting on October 28 th, 2010 agreed to speed-up the execution of activities of the Implementation Plans (IPs) of the European Industrial Initiatives (EIIs). It was decided to collectively identify the possibilities for launching joint actions between Member States and/or Member States and the European Commission. The mapping exercise carried out through this questionnaire builds upon this decision of the Steering Group. It aims to identify topics for leveraging best ongoing efforts with complementary joint actions, as prioritized by the Implementation Plans. In this phase the mapping will focus on projects and activities with a total budget higher than 1 M. We trust that you also consider the success of this exercise important for the immediate implementation of the SET-Plan. MAPPING OF PROJECTS, ACTIVITIES, RESOURCES AND INVESTMENTS To which EII(s) is your project, activity, resource or investment relevant? (multiple choices are possible) WIND SOLAR GRIDS CCS NUCLEAR BIOENERGY FCS & H2 X A. PROJECTS AND ACTIVITIES GENERAL INFORMATION Name of project: 2 nd Generation Alkaline Electrolysis Acronym: Give project acronym, if applicable Location: Applicable only for demo/pilot project; enter specific location(s) and Member State(s) HIRC Birk Centerpark Denmark Rev. 1 January 2011 Page 1 of 6

2 Project partners: List project partners; name coordinator first. For European & international projects mention the country affiliation of each partner Hydrogen Innovation and Research Centre GreenHydrogen Technical University of Denmark Risø National Lab Force Technology Project website: Contact details: Name, affiliation and contact details of the project coordinator Start date: mm-yyyy Duration: in months Lars Yde Technical Manager Hydrogen Innovation & Research Centre Birk Centerpark 40 DK-7400 Herning Mobile Web: SHORT PROJECT DESCRIPTION Provide a short abstract of max. 100 words Energy technology research development and demonstration of 2 nd generation alkaline electrolysis by: Improved electrode efficiency. Higher operation temperature. Higher operation pressure. Improved stack architecture. Modular design for easy up scaling. The research will be on higher operation temperature, improved electrodes by electrochemical plating, powder technology and ceramic materials. Industrial development will be on higher pressure, improved stack architecture and modular design for easy up scaling (20 to 200kW). The target is an efficiency of 88% and a price reduction of more than 50 % on the electrolyser stack. Demonstration will take place by substituting a 1 st generation stack installed at H2College by the 2nd generation stack developed in this project. H2College has 66 passive houses at the campus of Århus University in Herning, powered by hydrogen made from water and wind power. PROJECT GOALS & OBJECTIVES Goals: Indicate main qualitative goals The outcome of the project will be improved technologies for alkaline electrolysers which will be used for applications for patents and utilized commercially by GreenHydrogen.dk as well as a demonstration of the 2 nd generation technology performance.

3 Objectives: Indicate quantitative objectives (similar to KPIs of the IPs of the EIIs). Also indicate intermediate milestones where applicable. Stack efficiency of 88% Operation temperature of 100 C Operation pressure of 30 Bar Modular system for easy scaling Price reduction of 50% on the stack PERFORMANCE OF THE PROJECT Alkaline electrolysis represents a mature technology regarding production of hydrogen for industrial processes. In order to compete with existing technologies and fuels at the energy market and to compete with international suppliers of conventional alkaline electrolysis technologies, it is necessary to develop the technology further. Assumed state-of-the-art: Describe quantitatively the state-of-the-art that the project objectives are based upon The alkaline technology is due to its low cost suitable for all applications. Right from the very small kilowatt facility used with household CHP plants, up to plants of several hundreds megawatt for production of synthetic fuels. The maximum stack size for production of industrial hydrogen is currently at 3.4 MW. The alkaline electrolysis is in comparison to PEM and solid oxide electrolysis the most mature technology, why it will be the first electrolysis technology to reach the emerging market of synthetic renewable fuels. Achievements so far: If intermediate results are available, please indicate the current achievements (qualitative and/or quantitative) Difficulties and potential risks: Indicate briefly problems encountered or to be encountered in the short term (e. g. overall legislative context, public acceptance, permitting, etc.) Single cell efficiency of 90% Price reduction on stack of 50% Modular system for easy scaling Durability of materials Rev. 1 January 2011 Page 3 of 6

4 FUNDING & BUDGET Funding programme: Give the name of funding programme Funding public entity: Indicate which public entity is in charge of /manages the programme Total (public & private) project budget ( ): EUDP Danish Energy agency 1,600,000 Public funding ( ): 1,260,000 Total effort (person-months) 110 DISSEMINATION OF PROJECT RESULTS Publications, presentations in conferences and workshops, and other dissemination means: Give highlights only TOWARDS COMMERCIALISATION Indicate (new) products and/or services expected from the project. Are new business models required for commercialisation of the project results? Highlight expected commercialisation benefits, e.g. patents, spin-offs, new products, business partnerships GreneHydrogen has as a result of this project obtain a reference plan that is very use full in sails work. The plant also works as a platform fore the further technological development of the company. SYNERGIES WITH THE IMPLEMENTATION PLANS OF THE EUROPEAN INDUSTRIAL INITIATIVES NETWORKING KNOWLEDGE SHARING Contribution to/relevance with the IPs: To your opinion, to which activities of the IPs of the EIIs is this project related to? Indicate contributions / complements. Please note that reference here is made to the activities of the IPs as published in activities/implementation-plans Rev. 1 January 2011 Page 4 of 6

5 Potential synergies with other projects and activities: Can you identify any other project(s) in your country, another MS or at European level that could be synergetic with this project? The production of hydrogen from wind power offers a storages option which will be needed in grids with a large amount of wind energy Networking: Would you be willing to share results with the projects identified above? Indicate willingness to networking and also potential conditions Networking on materials durability will be very welcome Knowledge sharing: Would the abovementioned Networking necessitate a formal knowledge sharing agreement? To your view would this be the preferred route? Yes Future steps: Are there any follow-up activities considered after the completion of your project? Is there a need to scale up activities in this topic at European level? Yes RESOURCES AND INVESTMENTS B. RESOURCES AND INVESTMENTS Describe in short any RD&D infrastructures that your project relies on. Are these available or do they need to be developed? The infra structure is there but the European funds for RD&D is not sufficient. If these are to be developed, what is the corresponding investment required? What is the allocated budget ( ) for this investment in your project? 10,000,000 OTHER INFORMATION Date: when the questionnaire was completed Rev. 1 January 2011 Page 5 of 6
