IEA-HIA Task 23 Small-scale reformers for on-site hydrogen supply Dr. Ingrid Schjølberg SINTEF Norway ExCo meeting - Montecatini, November 7-9, 2007
Outline • Objectives • Task organization • Background • Task members and stakeholders • Activities • Accomplishments • Matters requiring ExCo attention
Task objectives • The overall objectives of the task are: • Develop a basis for harmonized capacities for the on-site hydrogen reformer unit • Identify and examine issues related to the promotion of widespread use of on-site hydrogen reformer units • Develop a global market guide for the use of on-site hydrogen reformers • Describe the technology link to renewable sources
Operating Agent Task 23 Ingrid Schjølberg (SINTEF, Norway) Subtask 1 Harmonized Industrialisation Børre T. Børresen (StatoilHydro, Norway) Subtask 2 Sustainability and renewable sources Corfitz Nelsson (SGC, Sweden) Subtask 3 Market development Isamu Yasuda (Tokyo Gas, Japan) Task organization
Background • Continuation of Annex 16, Subtask C, Small-scale reformers for stationary hydrogen production with minimum CO2-emissions • Conclusion Annex 16: Need to continue the harmonized effort to develop on-site reforming for efficient and clean hydrogen • Challenges identified in Annex 16 • Harmonization of capacities to reduce costs and increase competitiveness • System optimization with respect to cost, footprint, safety • Reformers compete with trucked-in, market dominated by demonstration projects • Given a fuel what should you do with it? • Small scale CO2 capture, costs

Objective: Develop an understanding for a harmonized approach related to reformer capacity. Focus on refuelling State of art: Taylor made Any size Any capacity Few SSR Challenges: Mass production Prize Footprint Design Capacities CO2 capture Subtask 1 Harmonized Industrialisation
Customer Reliability and durability Production capacity Footprint and height Monitoring Variable load Minimum start-up/shut-down times Service, training and maintenance Regulations, codes and standards Efficiency > 80% Hydrogen purity 99.95% and CO < 1ppm Costs CO2 capture Suppliers Components (who/where/what) System boundaries Capacities (100, 300, 500 Nm3/h) Maintenance issues Control issues Safety issues Integration issues Requirements
Enabling points on how to reach industrialisation Issues from an end-user point of view Cost targets Standarization Scope 2008
Objective:To develop systems for fuel diversification and use of renewable sources and to study on-site emissions and how to handle these State of art Demonstration projects WTW analysis Challenges CO2, NOx, noise High cost on small scale capture Technology depends on reformer technology What to do with the captured CO2 Given a feedstock: Reform or not Feed H2 Process Subtask 2 Sustainability and renewable sources
Feedstock Ethanol DME Bio diesel Glyserin Ammonia Sugars Alcohols WTW with highest efficiency will win (EUCAR) Multifuel reformer CO2 emmission cost Fuel availability Fuel diversification Low pressure Multi-fuel reformer (N-GHY)
Objective: Facilitate and support market development by dissemination of technology information State of art Demonstration projects Vision: Hydrogen society (Japan, Iceland, California) Challenges No cars, no infrastructure No infrastructure, no cars Cheaper reformers Treats Natural gas prize H2 politics H2 (from large plants) CO2 emissions Subtask 3 Market studies
Market studies • Markets • Japan (Asia) • North America (US) • Germany (Europe) • Output from the market study • Estimation of hydrogen supply cost • Energy efficient and CO2 emissions on WTT basis • Advantages of small-scale reformers over • GH2 transport and supply • LH2 transport and supply • On-site water electrolysis • Analysis: comparing the markets
Input parameters • Capital costs / capital charge • Cost reduction by volume production • Feedstock cost • Feedstock consumption • Cost of consumables • Utility cost • Energy efficiency • CO2 emissions/ political costs • Transportation costs • Currency exchange rate • Regulations, codes and standards
Matters requiring attention • National participation letters for industrial participants • Commitment letter from the industry • Abstract to WHEC 2008
