Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "This project is for an integrated gasification combined cycle (IGCC) power generating facility called Hydrogen Energy California (HECA) in Kern County, California.... The project, as proposed, would gasify blends of petroleum coke (25 %) and coal (75%) to produce hydrogen to fuel a combustion turbine operating in combined cycle mode. The gasification component would produce 180 million standard cubic feet per day (MMSCFD) of hydrogen to feed a 400 megawatt (MW) gross, 288 MW net combined cycle plant providing California with dispatchable baseload power to the grid. The gasification component would also capture approximately 130 MMSCFD of carbon dioxide (or approximately 90 percent at steady-state operation) which would be transported and used for enhanced oil recovery and sequestration (storage) in the Elk Hills Oil Field Unit. The HECA project would also produce approximately 1 million tons of fertilizer for domestic use" --California Energy Commission web site, Docket 08-AFC-8A.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The fields covered by the hydrogen energy topic have grown rapidly, and now it has become clearly multidisciplinary. In addition to production, hydrogen purification and especially storage are key challenges that could limit the use of hydrogen fuel. In this book, the purification of hydrogen with membrane technology and its storage in "solid" form using new hydrides and carbon materials are addressed. Other novelties of this volume include the power conditioning of water electrolyzers, the integration in the electric grid of renewable hydrogen systems and the future role of microreactors and micro-process engineering in hydrogen technology as well as the potential of computational fluid dynamics to hydrogen equipment design and the assessment of safety issues. Finally, and being aware that transportation will likely constitute the first commercial application of hydrogen fuel, two chapters are devoted to the recent advances in hydrogen fuel cells and hydrogen-fueled internal combustion engines for transport vehicles.

Download or read book A Technical Economic and Environmental Assessment of the Production of Renewable Hydrogen from Wind in California written by Obadiah Julian Bartholomy and published by ProQuest. This book was released on 2008 with total page 147 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This thesis seeks to evaluate one potential approach to facilitating increased renewable penetration and alternative fuel production, the use of wind power in the production of hydrogen for transportation. To fully assess this approach, technical, economic, and environmental impacts are evaluated using a Renewable Hydrogen Technical, Economic, and Environmental Model (RHPTEEM). The RHPTEEM model is used to evaluate scenarios for two California regions, looking out to the year 2030. The technical considerations of evaluating the use of wind electricity to generate hydrogen involve evaluation of wind resource profiles and electricity grid demands, the evaluation of electrolyzers and balance of plant required for hydrogen compression and storage, and the evaluation of the use of hydrogen pipelines and the electricity grid to turn remote wind electricity into hydrogen dispensed in central metropolitan demand centers. Findings from the technical assessment indicate that there exists a significant amount of wind resource potential that if developed, is likely to create large surpluses of wind electricity during times of the day where it is less desirable for use directly in the electricity grid. In particular, both the Solano and Tehachapi resource areas experience their highest capacity factors in the summer months between 11 PM and 5 AM, which correspond with the lowest demand hours on the electricity grid for both regions. The state of electrolysis units today would allow conversion of that electricity at approximately 70% efficiency to hydrogen, though future improvements could bring this efficiency upwards towards 80 to 85%. The electricity grid provides the preferred transportation option for the wind electricity until such time as hydrogen demand reaches nearly 1,000,000 vehicles in a particular region, at which time, construction of a pipeline to provide the hydrogen from electrolyzers sited at the wind farm would make sense. The economics of producing hydrogen from wind electricity depend heavily on the capacity factor of the electrolyzer and the price of the electricity that is used in the electrolyzer. In the near term, for electrolyzer capacity factors above 60%, electricity price is the primary driver. As electrolyzer prices decline, lower capacity factors can be achieved, and once capital costs drop below $300-$500 per kW, operation using wind as the sole driver for production makes sense. The economic production of electrolytic hydrogen depends heavily on getting access to wholesale electricity prices by utility ownership or control of electrolyzer operation. Operation at retail electricity prices in California would result in electrolytic hydrogen costs exceeding $7 or $8 per kg. By accessing wholesale electricity costs, hydrogen could be produced at costs closer to $4 per kg. In looking specifically at Southern and Northern California scenarios for utilization of hydrogen, it appears that a significant number of vehicles could be fueled by surplus wind electricity based hydrogen in both regions by 2030. In Southern California, the surplus wind electricity from an installed capacity of 8,000 MW of Southern California wind turbines could result in enough hydrogen for 350,000 vehicles in 2030, and if the electolyzer capacity was operated at maximum capacity factors using grid electricity to supplement, would be enough hydrogen for 760,000 vehicles. For the Sacramento region, the surplus electricity produced during off-peak hours could provide fuel for between 15,000 to 34,000 vehicles depending on whether the electrolyzers used wind electricity only, or whether they used a mixture of wind and grid electricity. Hydrogen production would be expected to remain distributed until vehicle fleets approaching 1,000,000 vehicles were achieved, sometime between 2030 and 2040 in Southern California, and somewhat later than that in Sacramento. The expected costs of hydrogen would be driven almost entirely by electricity prices, as the electrolyzer prices fall from nearly $2 per kg in 2008 to around $0.80 per kg in 2030.

Download or read book Hydrogen and Fuel Cells written by International Energy Agency and published by Simon and Schuster. This book was released on 2004 with total page 208 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Hydrogen and fuel cells are vital technologies to ensure a secure and CO2-free energy future. Their development will take decades of extensive public and private effort to achieve technology breakthroughs and commercial maturity. Government research programs are indispensable for catalyzing the development process. This report maps the IEA countries' current efforts to research, develop and deploy the interlocking elements that constitute a "hydrogen economy", including CO2 capture and storage when hydrogen is produced out of fossil fuels. It provides an overview of what is being done, and by whom, covering an extensive complexity of national government R & D programs. The survey highlights the potential for exploiting the benefits of the international cooperation. This book draws primarily upon information contributed by IEA governments. In virtually all the IEA countries, important R & D and policy efforts on hydrogen and fuel cells are in place and expanding. Some are fully-integrated, government-funded programs, some are a key element in an overall strategy spread among multiple public and private efforts. The large amount of information provided in this publication reflects the vast array of technologies and logistics required to build the "hydrogen economy."--Publisher description.
Download or read book From Economic to Energy Transition written by Matúš Mišík and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2020-09-28 with total page 628 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book examines energy transition issues within the Central and Eastern European (CEE) region. The European Union is aiming for an almost complete decarbonization of its energy sector by 2050. However, the path towards a carbon-free economy is full of challenges that must be solved by individual EU members. Across 18 chapters, leading researchers explore challenges related to energy transition and analyse individual EU members from Central and Eastern Europe, as well as the region as a whole. To further explore this complex issue, the volume also includes several countries from South East Europe in its analysis. As perspective members, these countries will be important contributors to the EU’s mid- and long-term climate and energy goals. The focus on a variety of issues connected to energy transition and systematic analyses of the different CEE countries make it an ideal reference for anyone with a general interest in the region or European energy transition. It will also be a useful resource for students looking for an accessible overview of the field.
