Hydrogen
How new energies are produced, transported and stored before use
Hydrogen is transported from production to use via pipelines, tank trucks, rail vehicles and barges. Transportation of hydrogen in the gaseous phase via pipelines and in the liquid hydrogen phase (cryogenic) via trucks and by sea is also gaining importance. As for storage, hydrogen can be stored either in gaseous or liquid form. New developments in storage include material-based storage as an absorbent.
Hydrogen is used in industry as a feedstock, for heat and power generation in industry and buildings, and in transportation. With the availability of turbines that can burn 30 % H2 mixed with natural gas, the use of hydrogen gas is increasing. Power-to-gas offers the possibility of converting electricity from renewable energy sources into gas and feeding it into the gas infrastructure or using it directly.
Key applications in the hydrogen value chain
Water treatment in alkaline and PEM electrolysers
Current electrolyser technologies use high purity water. Independent of the electrolyser technology used, efficient pre-processing of fresh water or sea water is needed. Field instrumentation and automation solutions play an important role in the reliable operation of water treatment facilities.
What we offer:
- Reliable liquid analysis portfolio to offer online measurement (Memosens)
- Traceable and verifiable flow measurement to meet standards and manage risks
- Wide portfolio of smart measuring instruments with industry-experience, consulting and expert services
Hydrogen flow metering
Hydrogen can be converted from renewable energy sources and injected into existing natural gas pipelines for transportation. Dedicated hydrogen pipelines are employed in different parts of the world. Selecting suitable flow metering technology and metallurgy requires experience to deliver the right solution.
What we offer:
- Precise and reliable quantity measurement with Promass Coriolis mass flowmeter
- Expertise in design, engineering and assembly of flow metering solutions
- Compliance to local and international standards
Tank gauging in LH2 (Liquified Hydrogen)
Liquefaction of Hydrogen is an energy intensive process and includes three steps: Compression, cooling and expansion. Hydrogen is loaded in marine vessels and transported in the liquid cryogenic phase (LH2 at -252° Celsius). During transport, storage and further distribution continuous monitoring of the tank level is critical.
What we offer:
- Continuous primary level measurement or redundant operation with high precision, safe and reliable Proservo level gauge
- Remote access and configuration
- Calibration chamber and window
- Measurement not impacted by Boil-off gas (BOG)
Empa, the Swiss Federal Laboratories for Materials Science and Technology, runs a Power-to-X demonstrator near Zurich, Switzerland. The aim of this demonstrator is to provide a platform for research projects, technology demonstration, and developments on energy pathways in future mobility. Empa is currently expanding the demonstrator to include a plant for the production of synthetic methane. The required hydrogen is already produced via electrolysis and the carbon is provided by direct capture of CO2 from the air.
21th Stuttgart International Symposium - Conference paper
Significance of Synthetic Methane for Energy Storage and CO2 Reduction in the Mobility Sector
The introduction of synthetic fuels is one approach to reducing CO2 emissions in the transport sector. In this context, synthetic methane is promising due to the high degree of development of the technology and easy substitution in the vehicle fleet. In particular, the existing infrastructure including gas grid, gas storage, and filling stations as well as existing trade mechanisms allow a comparatively fast substitution of fossil natural gas by synthetic methane for light and heavy duty vehicles. This study discusses the direct potential for substitution of parts of the newly registered vehicle fleet with gas vehicles, fueled with synthetic methane, and compares it to the potential of using fuel cell electric vehicles relying on hydrogen. The production path of hydrogen and synthetic methane is analyzed with respect to electricity demand and overall associated CO2 emissions. The result is an estimate of the well-to-wheel CO2 emissions of vehicles fueled with hydrogen or synthetic methane.
