Presentation Transcript

Slide1: 

Prof. Ezio Bussoletti Italian Ministry for Environment and Territory Beijing - May 26-27, 2004 TOWARDS THE HYDROGEN ECONOMY THE ITALIAN VISION

Slide2: 

Hydrogen Hub Solar Energy based Hydrogen Hub Fossil Fuel based ITALY H2 Vision Hydrogen Hub Biomass based

Slide3: 

CO2 sequestration Distributed generation 240 MW Hydrogen vehicles 2500 buses 25000 cars Power generation 560 MW Hydrogen Hub Fossil Fuel based Hydrogen production plant H2 Coal Oil Gas 2.3 ÷ 2.7 Mt /year

Slide5: 

Distributed generation 10 MW Hydrogen vehicles 250 buses 2500 cars Hydrogen from biomass and wastes Hydrogen production plant Gasification/Fermentation H2 H2 Biomass Municipal wastes Industrial wastes

Slide6: 

Avoided CO2 for each hydrogen hub Installed electric power 800 MW Vehicles ~ 2,500 buses ~ 25,000 cars 2.3 – 2.7 million ton CO2/year Installed electric power 50 MW Vehicles ~ 1,300 buses ~ 13,000 cars 0.3 million ton CO2/year

Slide7: 

Avoided CO2 for each hydrogen hub Installed electric power 10 MW Vehicles ~ 250 buses ~ 2,500 cars 50,000 ton CO2/year Summary Fossil hub 2.3-2.7 Mton/year Solar hub 0.3 Bio hub 0.05

Slide8: 

Hydrogen Economy cannot be developed by itself Evolution of energy vectors from 1850 up to date Experience on hydrogen as an “alternative” energy source in 70s was negative Why hydrogen comes out again? Barriers to the market Therefore transition towards hydrogen economy should be fostered

Slide9: 

Actions Geological survey Demo plant testing Long term behavior modeling Monitoring technologies SAFETY, CODES AND STANDARDS Hydrogen from Fossil Fuels Critical steps Demonstration program CO2 SEQUESTRATION Depleted gas wells Deep saline aquifers Prefeasibility Startup Feasibility Commissioning 04 05 06 08

Slide10: 

SAFETY, CODES AND STANDARDS Basic Research Hydrogen from Solar Energy Critical steps Thermochemical cycles Basic research for catalysts Development of photoreactors

Slide11: 

Basic Research Hydrogen from biomass and wastes Critical steps Gasification of carbon-containing wastes and biomass Direct fermentation of organic materials to H2 Technological development

Slide12: 

SAFETY, CODES AND STANDARDS Hydrogen utilization Critical steps Turbogas Trials on pilot and commercial units Stationary Fuel Cells Demo for distributed generation Logistics Automotive Fuel Cells Demo for city buses and dedicated cars Basic for onboard storage Logistics 2004-2011

Slide13: 

Economics The most critical issue Goal : CO2 mitigation (Improvement of air quality) Hydrogen can be the least expensive solution, but…… …. the present market rules don’t allow the exploitation of such a way New market rules and public acceptance are needed! International partnership has a key role!

ITALY IS A STEP HAED: 

ITALY IS A STEP HAED ITALY HAS A LONG EXPERIENCE IN NATURAL GAS (LOGISTICS, GASTURBINE, AUTOMOTIVE, INDUSTRY, HEATING) ITALY HAS THREE UNITS ALREADY ONGOING BASED ON TAR GASIFICATION FOR SYNGAS AND POWER GEN THROUGH COMBINED CYCLE SALINE ACQUIFERS COULD PROVIDE A LONG TERM CO2 STORAGE
