Regenerative Hydrogen:
Potential and Perspective

7th A3PS Conference Eco-Mobility 2012, Vienna
Slide 2

Hydrogen provides a sustainable energy cycle with closed loop feedstock:
Production from water through electrolysis
Storage as compressed gas, liquified or in compounds
Combustion in fuel cells or internal combustion engines emitting water

Slide 3
Hydrogen Production
Steam Reforming of Methane – 95 % of produced hydrogen
Endothermic catalytic reaction of light hydrocarbons (methane, naphta)
with water, synthetic gas at 800 °C, 30 bar, high efficiency up to 80 %.
Shift reaction and PSA (pressure swing absorption) for 99.999 % H2.
CnHmOk + (n-k) H2O → n CO + (n+m/2-k) H2
Gasification is a traditional method to produce a fuel gas from organic substances in a complex
thermo-chemical process including pyrolysis (anaerobic), oxidation and reduction. Coal,
wood or any biomass is gasified in a reactor at temperatures between 500 and 2000 °C
yielding synthetic gas, efficiency around 50 %.
Electrolysis – CO2-free production method, efficiencies up to 70 %
Alkaline Electrolyzers (100-150°C), electrolyte: alkaline solution
of sodium or potassium hydroxide, PEM Electrolyzers (80-120°C),
electrolyte: proton exchange membrane, high pressures investigated.
H2O (l) → H2 (g) + ½ O2 (g) ΔRH = 286 kJ/mol
Slide 4
Hydrogen Storage
Compressed gaseous hydrogen CGH2:
relatively simple system,
compression consumes 10 - 15 % of energy content Hu
at pressures up to 700 bar safety issues
low energy density 1.7 kWh/kg, 0.7 kWh/dm³
Liquid hydrogen LH2:
cryogenic storage at ambient pressure at -253°C
liquefaction consumes 20 - 30 % of energy content Hu
complex and open storage system – boil off losses (1% to 3% per day)
medium energy density 2 kWh/kg, 1.2 kWh/dm³
Physical adsorption and chemical absorption:
H2 molecules are bound on the surface or in the atomic lattice,
energy densities theoretically high, practically low, in lab scale,
difficult conditions for charging and decharching (high or low
temperatures, high pressures, long time)
Slide 5
Hydrogen is highly inflammable in air and can be combusted in
internal combustion engines, fuel cells and turbines.
Hydrogen Application
H2 + ½ O2 → H2O
ΔRH = -286 kJ/mol
