Hydrogen (H2) : « the Holy Trinity »

“ Oui, mes amis, je crois que l’eau sera un jour employée comme combustible, que l’hydrogène et l’oxygène, qui la constituent, utilisés isolément ou simultanément, fourniront une source de chaleur et de lumière inépuisables et d’une intensité que la houille ne saurait avoir. ”

Jules Verne, L’île mystérieuse (1874).

1. the context




An elegant solution : 3-D (macro-porous) electrodes

� Significantly improved H2 production rate o MW input power :

1) more (internal) surface area for the same (macroscopic) volume ;

2) improved gas evolution ;

� Fully compatible with current (kW) electrolyser technology :

• keep same (electro-catalytic) electrode material (Ni-alloys) ;

• keep same cell geometry (replacing 2-D by 3-D plate-like electrodes) ;

3-D electrodes : effect of surface area

2) improved gas evolution.

� Significantly improved H2 production rate :

1) increased surface area reduces overpotential ;

2) macro-porous 3-D morphology favours gas evolution ;

Green H2 : make it yourself (from renewables) !

P2H : how big should we get by 2020 ?

• strongly depends on users/applications ;

• current (EU) business model = H2 mobility ;

• requires on-site & green H2 production ;

• MW-scale is (in my opinion) « just what we need (by 2020) » ;

2015 : 5,431 MW

2030 : 13,000 MW

2050 : 24,900 MW

• Expected outcome (horizon 2020-2025) :

9 grid-balancing opportunities of P2H in Belgium ;

9 electricity price regulations for such P2H services ;

9 stake-holders manifest for H2 in Belgium (outside mobility) ;
