Power2Fuel Conditions for a Business Case P2F in Germany and EU Dipl. Kfm. Werner Diwald performing energy
DWV The German Hydrogen and Fuel Cell Association (DWV) promotes and prepares the general introduction of hydrogen as an energy carrier in the economy. It supports research and development to contribute to a solution of the future energy problems and the protection of the foundations of our existence. An energy carrier which can be stored and transported will be necessary in future as well. Hydrogen is optimal for this purpose. The German Hydrogen and Fuel Cell Association brings experts, companies, research institutes and so on together to let them exchange their experience, contributes to the dissemination of the results and promotes the public interest for the matter. It is therefore a "lobby" for the energy carrier of the future.

Reduction of GHG Economically efficient and politically acceptable attainment of greenhouse gas reduction aims in transport and mobility sector. Compared to biofuels produced from biomass (corn, yield, sugar cane, rapeseed), hydrogen generated by electrolyses from renewable energy sources (RE- Hydrogen) is not only CO 2 -neutral but CO 2 -free. It s production has no impact on land usage or food prices. green hydrogen is intended to be supplied to refineries to replace hydrogen made from a steam methane reforming process (SMR). The GHG intensity of hydrogen made from SMR is about 10 t CO 2 /t of hydrogen. In total, this could amount to approx. 20 million to. CO2 emission reduction in the EU annually.
Environmental Impact Hydrogen vs. Biofuel In 2020 at least 10 % of the final consumption of energy in the transport sector is supposed to be derived from Biofuels by European law Biofuel-path: Power-based-Fuels-path: With biofuels produced with biomass, 69.000 km 2 new cultivated area would be needed to reach that goal. (This is twice the size of a Country like Belgium.) Thereby (depending on cultivation methods) 56 mio. tons of CO 2 would be released. This equates the emission of12-26 mio. vehicles*. *) Institute for European Environmental Policy (IEEP) With RE-Hydrogen 7.400 wind energy plants (3 MW) were necessary to achieve the 10 %. These plants needed an area of appr. 66 km 2 (0,9 Ha each).* Thereby hardly any additional CO 2 would be released. *) All over Europe 20.000 MW electrolysis would be necessary, to cover the total demand (3.000 full load hours provided). The land requirements with the Power-based-Fuels-Path is only appr. 0,01% compared to the Biofuels-Path. At the same time greenhouse gas emissions (farming, harvesting, processing) are reduced up to 90%.

Current legal framework EU-Directive 2009/28/EG & 2009/30/EG : New FQD, Sep 15th 2015: - RED: Double-counting of hydrogen (energy content) - FQD: Commitment of 6% reduction of greenhouse gas towards reference value of 84 g/mj CO 2 The amendment includes the consideration of renewable liquid and gaseous fuels of non-biological origin (energy content comes from renewable energy sources other than biomass) that are processed together with fossil fuels. The EU Fuel Quality Directive allows to offset reductions in greenhouse gas emissions from projects upstream (these creditable reductions are referred to as "Upstream Emission Reductions" [UER]) or through admixtures of biofuels onto the European goals to the reductions the emissions of fuels which deliver into the market. But EU Legal Service is the opinion especially the reduction of emissions through Green Hydrogen by UER-System is not allowable. Understandable reasons for that opinion are not given!
Environment activists against hydrogen GUIDANCE NOTE on approaches to quantify, verify, validate, monitor and report upstream emission reductions 3.3 Eligibility of UERs Any facility or infrastructure in the supply chain prior to the facility at which the finished transport fuel is produced may be eligible to report upstream emission reductions. For fuels with crude oil as a raw material, this includes all of the supply chain prior to the refinery. Reductions in the greenhouse gas emissions in the production of hydrogen to be used in the production of fuel in refineries cannot be considered upstream emissions reductions for the purpose of Council Directive 2015/652 irrespective of where the hydrogen is physically produced. Hydrogen are selective discriminate by DG Climate!!
Working Program 2017: - Clear position, that only Wind and PV power can be use in the electrolyser to produce green Hydrogen. - Lobbing, that green hydrogen will be approved to reduce the GHG-Emission in refineries. - EU entitle in particular green hydrogen as a advance fuel to fulfil the emission targets in the transport sector.
