INTERNATIONAL ENERGY AGENCY AGENCE INTERNATIONALE DE L’ENERGIE Key points Hydrogen may play a significant role by 2050 This will require R&D successes and cost reduction FCV cost constitute a key issue for a hydrogen transition Total incremental investment cost till trillion USD The environmental & supply security benefits could be substantial, but require policies and technology advance Competing options may also play a key role
INTERNATIONAL ENERGY AGENCY AGENCE INTERNATIONALE DE L’ENERGIE Presentation Overview Technology input data Investment analysis Baseline scenarios Sensitivity analysis Observations
AGENCE INTERNATIONALE DE L’ENERGIEINTERNATIONAL ENERGY AGENCY Part 1: Technology input data
INTERNATIONAL ENERGY AGENCY AGENCE INTERNATIONALE DE L’ENERGIE Technology types Production Centralized Decentralized Distribution Refueling stations Vehicles Fuel cell On-board storage
INTERNATIONAL ENERGY AGENCY AGENCE INTERNATIONALE DE L’ENERGIE Production cost Decentralized Centralized Natural gasElectrolysisNatural gas CoalNuclearSolarBiomass No CCSCO2-free electricity No CCSCCS S/I cycle Gasification H2 production cost [USD/GJ]
INTERNATIONAL ENERGY AGENCY AGENCE INTERNATIONALE DE L’ENERGIE H 2 transportation cost Pipelines constitute the only viable transportation mode Some hydrogen (up to 9% e/e) can be mixed into natural gas in existing pipelines New pipelines will be needed Transportation cost six times those for natural gas trillion USD for refuelling station supply, 5 trillion for all stationary gas users
INTERNATIONAL ENERGY AGENCY AGENCE INTERNATIONALE DE L’ENERGIE Distribution and refueling cost Distribution (pipeline/LH 2 ) adds 2 USD/GJ delivered Liquefaction: 7-10 USD/GJ H 2 delivered Refuelling station cost 3-6 USD/GJ H 2 delivered (incl. pressurization, excl. decentralized production cost)
INTERNATIONAL ENERGY AGENCY AGENCE INTERNATIONALE DE L’ENERGIE Hydrogen vehicles Engines Hydrogen hybrids Hydrogen FCVs On-board storage Gaseous 700 bar Gaseous 350 bar Liquid Metal hydrides Other
INTERNATIONAL ENERGY AGENCY AGENCE INTERNATIONALE DE L’ENERGIE Fuel cells Present cost 2000 USD/kW <50 USD/kW needed Proton Exchange Membrane Fuel Cells (PEMFC) Current technology: Nafion membrane, Pt/C catalyst Significant cost reduction possible (mass production), but less than 100 USD/kW seems not likely with current materials New catalyst alloys needed, or HT-membranes New materials may offer cost reduction potential
INTERNATIONAL ENERGY AGENCY AGENCE INTERNATIONALE DE L’ENERGIE Future Cost Structure (2020) 50% higher power density, 10 times cheaper membranes, more than 50,000 cars/y (engines) Cost Share [USD/m 2 ][USD/kW][%] Membrane Electrode Bipolar plates Platinum catalyst833 Peripherals411 Assembly22 Total This is still too costly !!!
INTERNATIONAL ENERGY AGENCY AGENCE INTERNATIONALE DE L’ENERGIE Further cost reduction e.g. through higher power density Factor 2 gain 100 → 50 USD/kW Present Power [kW/m2] Stack power delivery cost [USD/kWh] Stack 66 USD/kW Stack 50 USD/kW due to better membrane - Higher power density gives lower efficiency - Higher power density gives lower stack cost - Therefore a balancing of fuel & stack cost needed Long term Short term
INTERNATIONAL ENERGY AGENCY AGENCE INTERNATIONALE DE L’ENERGIE H 2 onboard storage Gaseous 700 Bar seems the technology of choice for cars (350 bar for buses &vans) 4-5 kg storage needed/car ( km) Present cost: 3300 USD/kg Present mass production: USD/kg Assumed 150 USD/kg by 2025 Pressurization (1-800 bar) takes 14% energy content (GJe/GJ H 2 ) (assumed 10%, higher starting pressure) Other storage systems may succeed, but they are still far away from commercialization
INTERNATIONAL ENERGY AGENCY AGENCE INTERNATIONALE DE L’ENERGIE H 2 production Comparison on GJ-basis is deceptive, as FCV efficiency is 2.5 times current ICE efficiency H 2 can be supplied at USD/GJ ( ) Fuel cost (ex tax)/km about the same as current gasoline vehicles

AGENCE INTERNATIONALE DE L’ENERGIEINTERNATIONAL ENERGY AGENCY Part 5: Observations
INTERNATIONAL ENERGY AGENCY AGENCE INTERNATIONALE DE L’ENERGIE Need for secure, alternative transportation fuels beyond 2030 (supply argument) CO 2 policies (reduction/stabilization) also imply oil substitution (environmental argument) Non-conventional oil, FT-synfuels, CNG have limited transition problems, but no substantial CO 2 benefits Efficiency, biofuels have limited transition problems, offer substantial CO 2 benefits but limited potential The H 2 option requires R&D breakthroughs and cost reduction, transition will take decades; but holds potential for substantial benefits The main challenge is the affordable FCV Buses, delivery vans, H 2 hybrids as a transition strategy Overall benefits of having H 2 /FC: 4% lower GHG emissions, 7% less oil use
