Kick Starting the Hydrogen Economy with Stationary Hydrogen Fuel Cells and Natural Gas Presented Kick Starting the Hydrogen Economy with Stationary Hydrogen Fuel Cells and Natural Gas Presented on May 2, 2003 By Arshia Javaherian

What If: Ø Ø Ø 25% of the World’s Energy Sources Disappear. The cost What If: Ø Ø Ø 25% of the World’s Energy Sources Disappear. The cost of fossil fuels rise dramatically. No alternative fuel is ready for immediate commercialization. 2

The Real Problem: Ø Ø Ø The Emergence of a middle class in China, The Real Problem: Ø Ø Ø The Emergence of a middle class in China, Pakistan, India, and Mexico. Developing Nations/War-torn Nations slow rise of consumption. Fossil Fuels are finite. 3

The Solution: Ø Ø Today: Stationary Hydrogen Fuel Cells (HFCs), Reforming Natural Gas into The Solution: Ø Ø Today: Stationary Hydrogen Fuel Cells (HFCs), Reforming Natural Gas into Hydrogen Tomorrow: The Pure Hydrogen Economy 4

The Plan: Ø Stationary HFCs reforming natural gas. Ø Demonstrations. Ø Government support encouragement. The Plan: Ø Stationary HFCs reforming natural gas. Ø Demonstrations. Ø Government support encouragement. Ø The Industry takes off Ø Simultaneous Deployment of H 2 fueled fleets. Ø Costs go down. Ø Technology advances. Ø Ø Ø Centralized H 2 production and improved transportation technology. . Mass introduction of HFC vehicles. Advanced production of hydrogen using wind, solar, and biomass. 5

Hydrogen is Not an Immediate Energy Solution Ø Ø Hydrogen used in Fuel Cells Hydrogen is Not an Immediate Energy Solution Ø Ø Hydrogen used in Fuel Cells will not be a ready supply if 25% of the World’s Energy is unavailable tomorrow. Nevertheless, if we begin the shift to Hydrogen as our central fuel today, we will never run out of energy. 7

Why Hydrogen? Ø Ø Ø Environmentally clean. Completely renewable. Present everywhere. Present in our Why Hydrogen? Ø Ø Ø Environmentally clean. Completely renewable. Present everywhere. Present in our current energy resources. Storable. Nationally independent, individually independent 8

How Steam Methane Reforming Works Ø Ø NG Reacts with Steam at 1500° to How Steam Methane Reforming Works Ø Ø NG Reacts with Steam at 1500° to 1600° Fahrenheit and a nickel catalyst to strip out the H 2. Result is unpure mixture of H 2, CO 2, steam and unreacted Methane. Ø Ø Ø Mixture is cooled to 750°. More steam is added, creating more H 2, and converting the CO to CO 2. Remaining impurities are then extracted. 16

Sequestering the Impurities: How to Keep it Clean Ø Ø Disposing of CO 2 Sequestering the Impurities: How to Keep it Clean Ø Ø Disposing of CO 2 by burying it deep in exhausted aquifers or in gas or oil reservoirs, or by piping it deep in the ocean. Sequestering adds $1. 80/GJ to the cost of Hydrogen Fuel from natural gas. Ø Ø Will this happen now? Is this the price we pay for a clean future? 17
