Systems Analysis — WTW Updates
Notes: For a projected state of technologies in 2035-2045.Ultra-low carbon renewable electricity includes wind, solar, etc.Does not include the life-cycle effects of vehicle manufacturing and infrastructure construction/decommissioning.
Assumptions and details at: http://hydrogen.energy.gov/pdfs/10001_well_to_wheels_gge_petroleum_use.pdf
Low/high band: sensitivity to uncertainties associated with projected fuel economy of vehicles and attributes of fuels pathways, e.g., electricity credit for ethanol or hydrogen, electric generation mix, fraction of biomass-to-hydrogen plants with carbon sequestration, etc.

• Did not include the life-cycle effects of vehicle manufacturing and infrastructure construction/decommissioning.
• Carbon intensity of electricity from the average U.S. grid is based on EIA’s Annual Energy Outlook 2010 for calendar year 2035 (11% reduction from current carbon intensity).
• Production of corn and switchgrass as ethanol feedstock and production of cellulosic woody crops for gasification to produce hydrogen incur no indirect land use change effect with respect to GHG emissions.
• Switchgrass ethanol plants & hydrogen production plants using gasification technologies for coal and biomass do not benefit from the carbon credit associated with the export of excess electricity.
• Gasoline and diesel are produced from the average U.S. crude oil mix in the future (GREET model assumes future crude oil mix contains 18.1% of tar sands oil ).
• No natural gas from shale formations is assumed. • The sensitivity parameters did not include variability in the mix of crude oil or natural gas
sources.• Hydrogen produced via electrolysis with low-carbon electricity is assumed to use EIA-projected
grid electricity for hydrogen compression.• CCS was not assumed for hydrogen production via biomass gasification.

Systems Analysis – WTW Assumptions
• Key input parameters for hydrogen production simulations developed by NREL staff using the H2A hydrogen production and delivery models.
• The Hydrogen MSM was used to guarantee consistency of assumptions between the H2A models and GREET.
• Fuel economies (as measured in the laboratory) for all fuel/vehicle systems were determined using ANL’s PSAT Model.
• Fuel economy estimates for vehicles are based on the gge of each applicable fuel, approximately 114,000 Btu.
• Hydrogen used in FCEVs is to be dispensed from filling stations at 6,250 psi for 5,000-psi vehicle tank storage pressure.
• Upstream energy and emissions associated with electricity use are based on EIA’s reference case projections for the national average generation mix in 2035: 46.7% coal, 19.6% natural gas, 18.6% nuclear, 0.9% residual fuel oil, 2.4% biomass, and 11.8% other sources of renewable energy.

September 12-14, 2011San Francisco, CA-USA
Endorsed by
The ICHS 2011 will focus on the improvement, knowledge, and understanding of hydrogen safety to overcome barriers to the wide spread use of hydrogen as an energy carrier. Therefore, this conference seeks papers focused on the following three major themes:
1) International Progress on Enabling Opportunities2) Latest Advances in Hydrogen Safety R&D and 3) Risk Management of Hydrogen Technologies. All contributions to be included in the ICHS
2011 will be evaluated exclusively in the light of their scientific content and relevance to hydrogen safety.
The conference will improve public awareness and trust in hydrogen technologies by communicating a better understanding of both the hazards and risks associated with hydrogen and their management.

• Hydrogen Fuel R&D ($35.0M): Will focus on materials R&D to achieve a 25% reduction in electrolyzer capital cost by 2012, reducing the total hydrogen cost to less than $5/gge compared to $6/gge in 2009. Develop materials with photoelectrochemical conversion efficiency of 10% in 2012 compared to 4% baseline.
• Safety, Codes and Standards ($7.0M): Will determine and demonstrate hydrogen storage system testing procedures to enable publication of a Global Technical Regulation by 2012.
• Manufacturing R&D ($2.0M): Will develop low-cost, high-volume, continuous in-line MEA quality control measurement technologies in 2012, on track to develop continuous fabrication and assembly processes for polymer electrolyte membranes by 2016.
• Technology Validation ($8.0M): Will collect real-world data from fuel cells operating in forklifts, backup power, vehicles, and buses including 2012 projects with DOD (e.g. Hawaii).
• Systems Analysis ($3.0M): Will determine technology gaps, economic/jobs potential, and quantify 2012 technology advancement.
a These activities are funded under Market Transformation in FY 2011.b Due to deployments and ongoing data collection and analyses underway through the Recovery Act, these

We are participating in a project to demonstrate a combined heat, hydrogen, and power (CHHP) system using biogas.
• System has been designed, fabricated and shop-tested.• Improvements in design have led to higher H2-recovery (from 75% to >85%).• On-site operation began in FY10 and data-collection planned for Q3 in FY11.
Combined heat, hydrogen, and power systems can:
• Produce clean power and fuel for multiple applications
• Provide a potential approach to establishing an initial fueling infrastructure
