1 Hydrogen & Fuel Cells Scottish Energy Strategy and Deployment Case Studies SHFCA EHEC 2018 Plenary Malaga, 15 March 2018

2 Areas I will cover Scotland s journey to a Low Carbon Economy Changes in Power Supply & Demand Local Energy Projects 3 Scottish Case Studies 1. Aberdeen & Dundee s bus & vehicle fleets 2. Levenmouth s Smarter Local Energy System 3. Orkney Islands a Hydrogen Valley Where next? Hydrogen for Heat Think Local, act National, then Global

3 SHFCA & Member Activities Key SHFCA activity areas include Fuel Cell distributed CHP ultra low emissions Hydrogen and Fuel Cells for Sustainable Transport Energy Storage with Hydrogen, Small to Large scale SHFCA Members: Energy companies & delivery partners Researchers & Developers Early Adopters & Project Partners 85+ SHFCA members The most proactive H&FC Association in Europe?

4 Widening Scottish HFC sector interest SHFCA members include Micro, SMEs, Corporates, Local Authorities, Academics, & Partners

5 Scotland s Transition to Low Carbon Scotland s transition from oil/gas to Renewable Energy: Local Energy Systems & Distributed Power Whole Energy System Approach, Smarter Local Use of Energy Hydrogen s potential for energy balancing & storage Scotland s last coal fired power station closed in March 2016

6 Scotland s Ambitions for Reducing CO 2 Reduce CO 2 emissions by 42% in 2020 (compared to 1990 baseline) Generate 100% of Scotland s power* from Renewables (the answer to life, the universe and everything) Install 1 GW of Locally Owned Renewables In 2017 Scotland generated over 60% of its annual electrical demand from Renewables.

7 Where next: Scotland s Climate Plan Released February 2018 Builds on achievements Sets a new stretch target 66% CO 2 (GHG) reduction From 1990 baseline By 2032

8 UK Committee on Climate Change Provides independent advice to Scottish (& UK) Governments: Year Scottish CO 2 Reduction % % % %

9 Carbon Intensity of UK Grid From HFC Supergen White Paper HFC in Future Energy Systems

10 UK s First Coal-Free Power Day UK s First Coal Free Day: 22 nd April 2017

11 Rapid Growth in Renewable Energy

12 But Wind Increasingly Constrained From Joos & Staffell Short term integration costs of variable renewable energy: Wind curtailment and balancing in Britain and Germany

13 converting Electricity to Hydrogen Electrolysis of Water Using Renewable Electricity Provide Grid Balancing Services Electrolyser Schematic Industrial Electrolyser

14 Linking Renewables with Transport SHFCA member Aberdeen City Council saw economic development opportunities and to become Europe s Energy City Hydrogen making the link between Renewables & Transport Hydrogen produced by electrolysis of water What happens next Video from All-Energy 2012:

15 Where next : Future of Energy in Scotland HFC projects are supporting delivery of the Climate Plan and its three main themes: 1. Managed energy transition 2. A whole-system view 3. Local vision for energy Using a whole energy systems approach with hydrogen. The first Scottish Energy Strategy was released in December 2017

16 3. Orkney Islands Scottish Energy Case Studies from Energy Strategy 1. Aberdeen Dundee 2. Methil (Levenmouth)

17 1. Aberdeen s Hydrogen Bus Fleet Fleet of 10 Hydrogen Fuel Cell Buses launched in March 2015, EU Supported

18 Green Hydrogen produced on Site Hydrogen is produced on-site in Aberdeen City centre by electrolysis of water, using green electricity. An 11m FCH-JU supported project.

19 Second Refueller now Operational 2 of Aberdeen s 10 Toyota Mirai Fuel Cell Vehicles being refuelled

20 2. The Hydrogen Office in Methil

21 Levenmouth Project Schematic

22 Levenmouth Project: H2 for 17 Vehicles 750kW wind, 160kW PV & H2 storage with Toshiba H2-EMS Renault Hy-Kangoo & Ford H2-ICE Transit

23 Levenmouth Fleet with 2 RCVs World first H2-ICE Refuse Collection V Diesel-hydrogen flex fuel Carry 5kg of hydrogen at 350 bar

24 3. Local Energy: Orkney Islands Renewables generate > 100% of Orkney s electricity Over 50MW of installed renewable capacity 1000 renewable installations for 10,000 households Hosts the European Marine Energy Centre (EMEC) Orkney Islands mentioned in Scottish Energy Strategy By 2014 the Orkney Islands were generating 120% of annual electrical demand from Renewables

25 Renewable output in Orkney Islands Steady increase in Orkney Islands renewable generation but no additional grid connection capacity to mainland

27 EMEC Electrolyser : Surf n Turf High pressure PEM electrolyser supported by Highlands and Islands Enterprise innovation funding Surf 'n' Turf is generating hydrogen from wind and tidal on Eday to avoid grid limitations and develop local use. Supported by the Local Energy Challenge Fund.

28 Surf n Turf Launch 27 th Sept 2017

29 Orkney Islands: Fully Charged Robert Llewellyn (Red Dwarf) and Neil Kermode (EMEC) talk about how hydrogen can help overcome grid constraints at EMEC on the island of Eday. Link:

30 Building on Surf n Turf with Shapinsay s 0.9MW local wind turbine Green H2 for Van Fleet Building Innovative Green Hydrogen Systems in Isolated Territories 5m FCH 2 JU project. Green hydrogen with 1MW electrolyser Supply hydrogen for HFC range extended EV vans in Kirkwall also hydrogen for heating at school on Shapinsay.

31 BIG HIT Grant no.: Hydrogen from wind & wave Move the H 2 by road and ferry Use H 2 for heat an transport

32 Hydrogen Moved by Tube Trailer

33 BIG HIT Grant Agreement no.: Hydrogen Valley Local & Wider Benefits Support Orkney s Low Carbon Economic Strategy Overcome grid constraints and harness local renewables Reduce (grid) investments & improve grid load management Reduce fossil fuel consumption & carbon emissions Boost local economy including development of local skills & qualified jobs in emerging technologies Validate commercial/business models for integration of Renewables locally via hydrogen (near-to-market solutions)

34 BIG HIT Grant Agreement no.: BIG HIT Launch Event 15 th & 16 th May 2018 BIG HIT launch in Kirkwall, Orkney Islands on 15 th May & Hydrogen Territories Platform event 16 th May 2018 To register your interest send to

35 Sector Coupling: Renewables & Transport Hydrogen in the clean transport mix Developing the H 2 refuelling Vehicles being deployed in Scotland Not just FCVs logistics & marine

36 & Heat Scottish Final Energy Demand Power 22% Transport 25% 53% of Energy is used for Heating

37 Heating and Household Energy Use 79% of UK heating is by natural gas, with 74% used for space heating

38 Seasonal Demand Challenge Heat Seasonality of Energy Demand for Heating (from Scottish Energy Strategy)

39 Hydrogen for Heat UK activity in Hydrogen for Heat area: Leeds H21 Citygate feasibility Liverpool-Manchester H 2 pipeline BEIS 25M for H 2 appliance development HyDeploy: 20% H 2 in Methane at Keele Scotia Gas Networks 100% H 2 Significant international interest in use of hydrogen for low carbon heat

42 H 2 & Fuel Cells in the Energy System HFC Roadmap:

43 Adding flexibility with Hydrogen Use hydrogen as a clean energy vector Seasonal energy storage Hydrogen for Heat Also as feedstock for chemical conversions Make commodity products Storable & Transportable Fuels, Chemicals, Fertiliser

44 The Future of Energy in Scotland Published Dec-2017: Scottish Energy Strategy: Future of Energy in Scotland. Link:

45 Hydrogen for the Energy Transition Target is 50% of all Scotland s energy from Renewables by 2030 Scenarios for electric or 2. hydrogen

46 Ambition, Timing & Impact First Scottish Energy Strategy released Dec % of all energy from renewables by 2030 Two 2050 scenarios: 1. Electric & 2. Hydrogen Scottish Climate Plan sets a 66% Stretch CO 2 Target Scottish Government building on 2020 targets Scottish Government also has ambition to remove need for petrol & diesel cars & vans in Scotland by 2032
