Energy is the largest global market Market being completely overhauled Complete energy supply-chain rethink Colossal global capital investment problem | Opportunity “Climate change is an opportunity. It isn't necessarily a burden. … This way of thinking - of focusing on the costs and not the opportunities has contributed to getting us bogged down.” Joseph Stiglitz Business proposition Energy storage | clean fuel
Energy storage is the missing link Essential for energy sector decarbonisation Electrifying transport Electrifying heat Power | Transport | Heat Optimising energy systems Energy storage Missing link Energy storage | clean fuel
Positioning Hydrogen energy storage Hydrogen transport fuel
UK has the best wind resources in Europe Third best in the world Entering phase three construction in UK The problem is matching supply and demand The system needs energy storage Denmark is a case study Wind energy: the uk Positioning Energy storage | clean fuel
Key study by CEPOS Sept 2009 20% of its capacity is wind Can only meet 5% of its demand Negative electricity prices 50% is exported to Sweden and Norway The report calls for energy storage Wind energy: DENMArk Positioning Energy storage | clean fuel
First ‘Constrained Off’ events in the UK Stranded wind Payments are 20x the electricity price Costs passed on to the UK customer Wind energy: the uk Positioning Energy storage | clean fuel
Electricity cannot be easily stored Renewable power cannot be scheduled Balancing supply and demand The system needs energy storage Power to hydrogen is 70% efficient Hydrogen can be stored Hydrogen is an energy vector The problem Positioning Energy storage | clean fuel
Production of hydrogen controlled by the electricity companies Balancing supply and demand Control shifts to the demand side HFuel can be controlled remotely Switched on/off by the power company On site fuel production The solution Positioning Energy storage | clean fuel
On-site production of hydrogen from renewable power Zero carbon in its production Zero carbon in its transportation Zero exhaust emissions A triple zero fuel Positioning Energy storage | clean fuel
Energy storage market growth will track renewable energy deployment €10bn annually by 2020 Strong first mover advantage Oil industry is $3tn annually Fuel industry is multi trillion. The Opportunity Positioning Energy storage | clean fuel
Utilisation of renewables is held back by lack of energy storage solutions Early adoption markets Island energy systems Off grid energy storage €25bn to 2030 The Opportunity The Market Energy storage | clean fuel
HOST The Uk’s largest cross sector hydrogen trial
The UK’s largest cross sector hydrogen trial 21 commercial partners Balanced across 7 industrial sectors Launched at London Stansted Airport 9 trials completed to date Sale of trial to Carillion plc. Trial partners HOST Hydrogen On site trials
The 9 trials to date have been very successful HFuel showed 100% availability 45kg of hydrogen produced At a rate of 56kWhrs/kg Efficiencies up to 69.5% (average 65%) Breakeven electricity price 6.5p/kWhr (HICE) A fuel cell vehicle would be even better! Trial RESULTS HOST Hydrogen On site trials
Fuel economics Military Fuel Remote Industrial 15 kg/day (Current) Power at 15p/kWhr Automotive 50 kg/day (HFuel) Power at 5p/kWhr Islands Subsidised Automotive HOST Hydrogen On site trials
