  1. Hydrogen Powered City EDSGN 100 Team 7 Connor Schaeffer, Zach Zimmerman, Spencer Brought, Eric Hill

  2. We recognize the need to be… • We recognize the opportunity to create a hydrogen fueling station that could be replicated throughout an entire city

  3. Table of Contents • Research • Hydrogen Production • Power Production • Transportation • Station • Final Overview • Conclusion

  4. Research • Researched online and through surveys • 50 people at random • What would you like to see in a near future hydrogen fueling station? • Similar setup to regular gas station • Easier entrance and new style • Green and safe for the environment • Cheap

  5. Production

  6. Production methods • Electrolysis – inefficient. • Sulfur-Iodine cycle – unproven, technology still in it’s infancy, may not be feasible. • Fermentation – Also in it’s infancy, still not feasible.

  7. Steam Reformation • Uses heat, steam, and natural gas to create hydrogen. Generates CO2 (can be sequestered). • Large regional gas reserves.

  8. Feasibility • Infrastructure, such as natural gas pipelines, is already in place. • 3% of regional natural gas output. • Requires 200 MW. • $5/Kg

  9. Advantages • Technology is already in existence. • Current dominant production method. • Thermodynamic efficiency of 75% (compared to the 50% efficiency of electrolysis.) • Foreseeable increase to 80%. • Technology is most developed of production methods.

  10. Energy Production

  11. Methods • Hydroelectricity • No sufficient water source • Wind Power • Not viable, too expensive, will not create enough energy • Geothermal • Too expensive, not suitable for location • Biomass • Too labor intensive, not best option

  12. Concentrated Solar Power • Solar Power Tower • Use lenses and mirrors • Fields of Solar Panels • Produces heat in the form of steam (500 to 1000 degrees Celsius) • Able to produce the amount of energy we need • 4.5 hours of peak sun • Projected cost - $561 million

  13. Transportation

  14. Methods • Trucking • Pipeline • Paid for in about 35 years

  15. Station/Storage

  16. Station • 110 total stations • Look and feel • Underground tanks • H2 at 350 Barr • 10,000 kg underground tanks • Pumps compress to 700 Barr • Natural Gas • Mixed to blend on site • Total Projected Cost – $550 million

  17. Overview Total cost – about $2 billion

  18. Conclusions • Steam Reformation is the best option. • The greenest option for power production is through the use of solar concentrators. • Pipeline represents the best option for transporting within city. Trucking may be used for outskirts. • The stations are designed with convenience and consumer expectations in mind.
