IncentiveIn the energy system of the near future a key role will beplayed by renewable electricity. This will feed the platform forgreen value chains with H2 as intermediate for products (e.g.via the syngas platform or the ammonia platform), formobility and for heating. The key technology in this valuechain is H2 production via electrolysis. Hydrogen productionvia electrolysis is currently done only at MW scale.
However, to match the demand for hydrogen of the Dutchindustry and to play a significant role in buffering the futureintermittent power supply, a significant scale up is required ofthe electrolyser capacity at least to the GW scale.
ObjectiveDevelop a conceptual design and a transparent costestimation methodology, fit for implementation in 5 industrialregions, for a 1-GW electrolyser plant that is ready for start-upin2025 – 2030 and that delivers H2 at an economically viable costlevel (reduction of total annualized costs is essential).
ApproachThe project consists of 3 parts. These 3 parts are developed inclose contact in an iterative process.
Part 1 delivers a design of electrolyser stacks and modules, aheat management model, a CAPEX learning curve, anelectrolyser operating model.Part 2 delivers the context of 5 industrial regions in terms ofregional demands, infrastructure and plot size, includingsystem integration options and feasibility assessment.Part 3 delivers a conceptual design, including balance of plantsand the expected economics for plant erection in 2025-2030.
5 industrial regions
ResultsThe 3 parts of the projects have been started. First results ofpart 1 will be delivered in Q4 2019. For part 2 regional consortiahave been formed and studies on infrastructure have beenselected. For part 3 a baseline concept has been defined.
Next steps• Report on scale-up limitations.• A first assessment plot size of the facility.• Input of regions will be collected• For part 3 a subsidy request will be submitted in Q4 2019.
This project is co-funded by TKI-E&I with the supplementary
grant 'TKI- Toeslag' for Topconsortia for Knowledge and
Innovation (TKI’s) of the Ministry of Economic Affairs and
Climate Policy.
