Energy Need • Environmentally sustainable energy to the world’s population presents a major challenge for the first half of this century. • Global population is predicted to increase by a factor of 36% to 8.9 billion people by 2050, and global primary energy consumption is projected to increase by 77% to 837 quads during the same time period.

Hydrogen ENERGY!
What is Hydrogen? • Hydrogen is the simplest element with only one proton and one electron. • Stars are made primarily of hydrogen. • Our sun’s energy comes from hydrogen mixing with helium to create radiant light. This radiant energy sustains life on earth. • Hydrogen as a gas (two hydrogen atoms form one H2 hydrogen molecule) doesn’t occur naturally on earth. It is always contained in other elements. • Hydrogen gas has the highest energy content of any fuel by weight, but it is also the lightest gas at normal temperature and pressure, meaning that when comparing energy content by volume, it ranks last.
What is Hydrogen? Hydrogen is found everywhere.It is found in things like water, oil, crops, or landfill gas. That means that hydrogen energy can be made from all these things as well.
Water = H2O Two Hydrogen Atoms One Oxygen Atom Electrolysis: The process of using an electrical current to split water into hydrogen and oxygen.

H2 OPTIONS FOR INDIA • Hydrocarbon Liquid Fuels • Natural Gas • Solar / Wind power for electrolysis • Coal • Bio-mass
Transition to a “Hydrogen Economy” in Indian context • Broad-based use of hydrogen as a fuel • – Energy carrier analogous to electricity • – Produced from variety of primary • energy sources • – Can supply all division of the economy: transportation, power, industry, buildings and residential • – Replaces oil and natural gas as the • preferred end-use fuel – Makes renewable and nuclear energy “portable” (e.g. transportation needs) • Advantages: • – Inexhaustible • – Clean • – Universally available to all countries
Hydrogen Market • Ammoniac (NH3) production (~ 50% of worldwide demand) • Oil Industry (~ 45% of worldwide demand) • Semi-conductor production • Glass Industry (Shielding gas) • „Hydrogenation“ of fats and oils • Methanol production • Production of HCL • Plastics Recycling • Rocket fuel • Welding, cutting • New application: • Fuel Cells and H2 internal combustion engines
HydrogenProduction Today: Hydrogen as Industrial Gas - from Fossil Feed stocks 99% from fossil feedstocks thereof ~ 70% from natural gas
Renewable Hydrogen Production H2 as Energy Storage for Renewable Energy Systems Very high potential - still high electricity acquisition costs (PV) or high distances from “H2 demand centre's” Very high potential – due to a fluctuating availability, combined energy storage & H2 production seems promising Potential has been made available – geographically limited – able to provide base load RENEWABLE ENERGY High potential - in particular the use of biogenous residues seems very promising Technology is not yet commercially available -very high potential - able to provide base load The use of bio feedstocks – in particular bio-residues – offers an economical viable option for renewable H2 production in the short- to mid-term 99% aus fossilen Quellen
Electrolysis The electrolysis of water is an electrochemical reaction that requires no moving parts and a direct electric current, making it one of the simplest way to produce hydrogen
Biomass to Hydrogen • Biomass has long been considered a leading near term oh renewable hydrogen • The major biomass to hydrogen – three major thermochemical technology routes: Gasification, pyrolysis and high pressure water/ steam treatment.

Wind Energy! • INDIA • The total installed capacity of wind power in India has 5347 MW as on 31.03.2006. Among the identified states, Tamil Nadu has the highest wind power installation capacity of 2897.34 MW during the year 2006. • Global Wind energy • Worldwide wind energy boom in 2005: 58.982 MW capacity installed. Wind sector has become globally booming high-tech sector with more than 235.000 employees. Asia shows highest growth rates with India overtaking Denmark
Solar energy… • Solar thermal systems • Collect and transform radiant energy from the sun into heat, used directly or converted to electricity. Used in desert areas. • Sunlight collected and focused on solar collectors. High temps produce steam to run turbines for electricity. • These need backup systems or storage, high cost of installation, high land use
Hydropower • Works based on water flowing from high to low elevations • Controlled by dams and reservoirs and used to spin turbines & produce electricity • 20% of world’s electricity • Very efficient, low cost electricity • No air pollution or waste disposal • High construction costs • Alters animal habitat • Danger of collapse • Large dams high environmental impact http://water.usgs.gov/watuse/graphics/hymap.st1.color.gif
Geothermal…. http://www.eia.doe.gov/cneaf/solar.renewables/page/geothermal/geothermal.gif • Low environmental impact; we’re tapping natural heat sources such as volcanic rock, geysers and hot springs. • Energy efficient and cost effective • 1% of world’s electricity • Cost is high so source must be • concentrated and accessible
Uses for Hydrogen Energy NASA uses hydrogen as an energy carrier; it has used hydrogen for years in the space program. Hydrogen fuel cells are very efficient, but expensive to build. Small fuel cells can power electric cars. An engine that burns pure hydrogen produces almost no pollution. It will probably be many years.

Hydrogen…a fuel of the future? • 2020-2030 • 2H2 + O2→ 2H2O • We’ll need to make the H2 • high costs right now • no fuel distribution system in place • No green house gases • Safe, nontoxic, nonpolluting, itself. http://www.bmwworld.com/pics/7er/7350_1024.jpg
The Future of Hydrogen Before hydrogen becomes a significant fuel in the U.S. energy picture, many new systems must be built. We will need systems to make hydrogen, store it, and move it. We will need pipelines and economical fuel cells. And consumers will need the technology and the education to use it. The goal of the federal government is for hydrogen to produce10%of our energy by the year 2030. Hydrogen could provide clean, renewable energy for the future.
Thank you all for your kind attention
