Another example of deployable solutions. Getting at the mechanics of a problem and looking for solutions.

NOx emissions from the combustion of hydrogen have been held up by many as a reason why it shouldn’t be done. This testing shows that those emissions can be effectively managed, just as the power industry has stated. More testing and validation will be required, but all evidence points to this being an engineering issue to work through, not a deal breaker. And the reduction (or elimination) of CO2 emissions? Very real.

Hydrogen - key energy carrier to reach decarbonization goals How to ensure quality and regulatory compliance along the hydrogen value chain https://lnkd.in/eU5q97zk

Ahead of our participation in the Hydrogen Energy Association's Annual Conference in May, we're turning the spotlight onto Hydrogen. Sauer Compressors recognises the role that Hydrogen is playing in enabling the transition towards a net-zero future. As a fuel, it can be utilised across a wide array of commercial and industrial practices, and can be produced from renewable sources, resulting in a completely emission-free process. Due to its low density, Hydrogen is typically produced at low pressures and needs to be compressed before it can be stored and transported. This is where high-pressure Hydrogen compressors come in. Sauer Compressors offer a wide range of solutions for compressing hydrogen, including HAUG's oil-free compressors, which can provide discharge pressures ranging from 50 barg up to 450 barg.

Starting soon at the Hydrogen Strategic Conference, ‘The role of ammonia in moving energy and hydrogen.’ As the global energy transition progresses, there is a growing need for low and zero-carbon solutions. Ammonia is gaining popularity as a potential energy generation fuel, with applications for electric power, maritime transport, hydrogen carrier and carbon-free energy commodity. Industry executives will discuss these challenges and the growing role of ammonia in the hydrogen value chain and global decarbonisation roadmap at the upcoming ADIPEC Hydrogen Strategic Conference. #ADIPEC #ADNOC #EnergyTransition #Hydrogen

We are happy to see that our Sodium Sulfur batteries (NAS® Batteries) are becoming the technology of choice for the challenging carbon-free hydrogen production application, after first installations in Asia now also in Europe. HH2E has just ordered 93MWh and reserved production capacity for 140MWh of NAS® Batteries with BASF Stationary Energy Storage GmbH.   NAS® batteries are high-energy, long-duration stationary batteries, perfectly suited to balance intermittencies of renewable energies. Thanks to the high safety standards they are the optimal choice for co-location with hydrogen production. By combining battery storage and electrolysis, HH2E will transform the variable input of sun and wind energy into a stable flow of carbon-free hydrogen, heat and electricity.  I see this first contract as a start of the CO2-free hydrogen age in Germany. We at BSES are proud to be part of it.     #nasbatteries #energystorage #energytransition #energy #BASF

* Your Guide to Hydrogen Generation and Lowering Carbon Emissions:(9pages): Amid the array of pathways to decarbonization, hydrogen has emerged as one key lever for reducing global emissions.

Quadrogen’s Hydrogen Booster system processes syngas and fuel cell exhaust gas to produce renewable, on-demand hydrogen. The Hydrogen boost is achieved by sequential catalytically enhanced water-gas shift reactions followed by a polishing process that preferentially oxidizes the remaining carbon monoxide to less than 10 ppm.

The study compares three hydrogen generation processes: steam methane reforming (SMR), SMR with carbon capture (SMRCC), and electrolysis using grid electricity and water. The researchers used the National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL)’s H2A tools to provide cost estimates for these pathways, and the Hydrogen Delivery Scenario Analysis Model (HDSAM) developed by Argonne National Laboratory to generate the delivery model and costs. Additionally, it compares the cost of grid hydrogen with SMRCC hydrogen, showing that without tax credit incentive SMRCC hydrogen can be supplied at a lower cost of $6.10 per kg hydrogen at the pump, which makes it competitive.
