  1. An Infrastructure for Hydrogen Fuelled Vehicles ”Car of the Future”, Trondheim 2. October 2002 Vice President Ivar Hexeberg Ivar Hexeberg@hydro.com

  2. Themes for this presentation • Key drivers and barriers for a change to hydrogen and fuel cells • Infrastructure solutions • Vision and current alternatives • Challenges and Roadmaps • Norsk Hydro’s involvement

  3. Key drivers and barriers for a change to hydrogen and fuel cells Key Drivers Potential Barriers / Challenges • Security of energy supply • Diversification • Sustainable H2 production • Infrastructure solutions • Standards & regulations • H2 supply in transition period • Environmental • concerns • Global warming • Local emissions • Public acceptance • Safety perception • Convenience • Governmental policies & Industrial structure • Inter industry collabotation • Regulations to favour H2? • Competition • Uncertainty • Improvement in traditional and new fuels and technologies • Technological development • Reduced fuel cell costs • Compact H2 storage

  4. Oil production and demand 2000 – 2030 Production Demand Source: IEA – World Energy Outlook 2002

  5. World Primary Energy demand expected to increase by about 66% untill 2030 2000 2030 66 % 9179 Mtoe 15 267 Mtoe Source: IEA – World Energy Outlook 2002

  6. The Transport Sector accounts for an increasing share of CO2-emissions Source IEA: Transportation and Energy, 2002 * * figures from Outlook 2000

  7. Air pollution in urban areas in 2001 Emissions from vehicles is the major source to urban air pollution. Present and future air-quality limits are and will be exceeded in spite of new clean conventional technology. The reason is increased transport. Year average value 2001 EU- Limit NO2 within 2010 EU- Limit PM10 within 2010 Source: Health dept. of Oslo

  8. DAIMLERCHRYSLER Bundesministerium für Verkehr, Bau- und Wohnungswesen Governmental policies and industrial co-operation Example: German Transport Energy Strategy (TES) Objective: • Agree on 1 or max. 2 alternative fuels • for passenger cars and duty vehicles • still under consideration: NG, Methanol, Hydrogen • Fuel shall be • independent of crude oil as far as possible, • supply 30% of market • enable its production from renewable sources on a large scale, • reduce the emissions of pollutants and CO2 over the entire fuel chain • be applicable for a large spectrum of propulsion systems (e.g. internal combustion engine, fuel cell).

  9. Hydrogen safety perception Fire from tank leakage after 1 minute – Hydrogen vs. Gasoline (Source: ”Fuel Leak simulation, DOE proceedings 2001”)

  10. A Vision of the Sustainable Vehicle Fuel O2 O2 Renewable Power Electrolysis Fuel cell vehicle H2 H2O H2O

  11. Sustainable Energy Carriers Fossil fuels • Energy conversion issues: • costs • efficiency/heat util. • CO2 emissions • Renewables • wind • solar • hydro Power plant Reforming Fuel cell El H2 Electrolysis • Energy carrier choice • transport cost/loss • storage cost/loss Bio & Waste

  12. When do we need the infrastructure? Demonstration Transition Market penetration 2015 2005 • 10 – 50 cities in Europe • 10 – 50 cities in USA • 10 – 50 cities in Asia • 10% of filling stations to launch marketing of hydrogen driven passenger cars • Significant growth in market for infrastructure components and hydrogen gas supply

  13. Current alternatives for hydrogen supply Large scale hydrogen production To fueling stations with tube truck as either CH2 or LH2 To fueling stations with pipelines from central production unit Local hydrogen production • Other alternatives: • H2 from ammonia • H2 from methanol On-site water electrolysis on fueling station based on electricity and water On-site natural gas reformering on fueling station

  14. Syngas production and hydrogen production Oil field Large scale hydrogen production with CO2 handling Hydrogen to energy markets Separating of oil, CO2 and produced water CO2 pipeline to oilfield CO2 Injection unit for CO2 Oil to shore Pipeline from offshore gas field Gas field

  15. High pressure electrolysers CAPACITY: 10 – 60 Nm3/h ENERGY CONSUMPTION: 4,8 +/- 0,1 kWh/Nm3 PRESSURE: Direct from electrolyser: 15 bar g PURITY: Direct from electrolyser: 99,9 +/- 0,1 % After purification: 99,9998 % Water Electrolyser, 60 Nm3/h

  16. Hydrogen filling station – Ex.: Iceland • Complete filling station including • Hydrogen generator • Compressor • Storage • Dispensing unit and control Artistic view - preliminary

  17. 250 *Atmospheric PEM fuel cell Diesel with regenerative braking Highway effy = 40% (HHV) City effy = 60% (HHV) 200 NG via Hydrogen to fuel cell* 150 Highway CO2 emissions g/km City 100 50 0 Distributed Large SMR - Large SMR - NG Diesel Diesel SMR H2 pipe H2 liq. electricity - hybrid electrolysis CO2 emissions – Well to Wheel

  18. Infrastructure challenges (1) • What is the most economic infrastructure development? • Impact on environment, security and other issues included in assessment • Close co-operation with car industry necessary • Optimal hydrogen fuel choice - liquid or gas (pressure?) • Build up of fuel requirement - how many vehicles to be supported, when and where? • Technology challenges: • Compactness of on-site filling stations • Cost reductions - components, systems, standardisation • Conversion of natural gas pipelines to hydrogen?

  19. Infrastructure challenges (2) • Infrastructure will be capital intensive - irrespective of infrastructure choice • Low initial utilisation = lousy investment • How shall investors be compensated? • How does society secure infrastructure investments? • Authorities and industry need to co-operate • Secure public acceptance of new vehicles and fuels • Convenience, purchaser certainty & safety perception • Establish harmonised regulations & standards • Create financial incentives for investors - f.ex. through reduced/differentiated fuel taxes • Secure resources for research and demonstrations • Definition of common road maps
