A Safe and Efficient, Low-Cost, High-Pressure Metal Hydride, Hydrogen Storage Solution.

**愿景与机遇**在英国，31.5%的温室气体排放是由公路运输产生的：“重型货车占18%（2000万吨二氧化碳当量），公共汽车/长途客车占3%（300万吨二氧化碳当量）”——2021年3月25日——BEIS-National-Statistics。目前，“英国道路上有8.5万辆公共汽车和60.5万辆卡车（平均车龄10年），98.8%是柴油车”——而在欧盟，“6.6万辆卡车，平均车龄12.4年，98.3%是柴油车”。_究- -欧洲汽车制造商-组织- 2021报告”。英国政府明确制定了到2030年实现净零排放的目标，支持大幅减少道路运输排放的必要性。这种减少可以通过用电动汽车（ev）或氢燃料电池电动汽车（HFCEVs）取代它们来实现。与私家车不同，重型货车和公共汽车通常行驶距离更长，需要快速加油，重量与燃料源的比例更低，所有这些都有利于重型货车而不是电动汽车，如果不是唯一的选择，这两种车辆组。为了满足这一需求，英国需要在2030年前建造一个经济上可行的氢燃料补给站（HRSs）基础设施。“英国有8835个服务站，欧盟有136000个服务站”——Statista-12/2021\。随着时间的推移，其中很大一部分将不得不转换为氢/电供应，而不是柴油/汽油（目前英国有11个HRSs）。Element-2的计划进一步巩固了我们的机会，该公司最近筹集资金，到2030年提供超过2000台泵，服务于英国的重型货物和市政车队，我们已经与他们达成协议，提供保证收入。HydroStar的目标市场/合作伙伴！我们的解决方案的机会来自于目前的氢供应和加油过程，即所谓的“井到油箱”常规。现有工艺在经济上/排放上效率低下，平均每油轮负载Hydrogen---ScienceDirect-osti.gov/servlets/purl/1580696-July2019---calculated消耗35.5%的价值：电解/替代生产2。Compression3。logistics4交付。以HRS5存储/压缩。Decompressed6。向车辆中注入氢气指出了对一种低成本、高效率的“井到罐”制氢工艺/解决方案的基本需求。**目标**在当地生产99.999%纯度的高压氢气，使用可再生电力，低成本的电解器和创新的储氢/压缩循环（HyPro），不仅节省能源，而且通过无/最小物流减少交通拥堵，提高经济效益，从而降低空气污染。该项目将建立在先前的脱碳储氢和高压生产的研究与开发（LSBU）的基础上，创造一种先进的工作产品。代替使用巨大的压力罐和能源密集型的电动压缩机，创新的热驱动（使用可再生能源），紧凑型金属氢化物反应堆（储存管充满低成本的金属氢化物合金吸收氢气）将用于储存/净化/压缩和减压气体，提高安全性和经济性。**效益**使用HyPro-Solution，效率有望提高20%，因为通过消除当前从井到罐的几个步骤，显著降低了成本：-将现场外/物流氢气厂包装到HRS/在HRS进行电气压缩/减压。

**VISION-AND-OPPORTUNITY**In UK 31.5% of all Greenhouse-Gas-Emissions are produced by road transport:"HGVs account for 18%(20 MtCO2e) and buses/coaches 3%(3 MtCO2e)"---25/03/2021---BEIS-National-Statistics.Currently _"there are 85,000 buses and 605,000 trucks on the UK's roads (average age 10-years), 98.8%diesel "_ and in the EU_"_ _there are 6.6M-trucks, average-age 12.4-years and 98.3%diesel."_ 'ACEA-The-European-Automobile-Manufacturers-Organisation-2021-Report'.The UK-target of net-zero by 2030 is clearly defined by the UK Government, supporting the need to substantially reduce emissions from road transport. This reduction can be achieved through replacing them with either Electric (EVs) or Hydrogen-Fuel-Cell-EVs (HFCEVs).Unlike private cars, HGVs and buses generally drive longer distances, require fast-refuelling, and the weight to fuel-source ratio is lower, all of which favour HFCVs over EVs as the preferred, if not only option, for these 2 vehicle groups.To service this need a significant economically viable infrastructure of Hydrogen-Refuelling-Stations (HRSs) needs to be built in UK by 2030\."In UK there are 8,835 and in EU 136,000 Service Stations"---Statista-12/2021\. Over time a large proportion of these will have to convert to Hydrogen/Electric supply rather than diesel/petrol (currently 11 HRSs in UK). Our opportunity is further cemented by Element-2's plans, recently raising funds to provide over 2,000 pumps by 2030, serving the UK's heavy goods and municipal fleets, and whom we have entered into an agreement with, offering guaranteed revenue.---See-Appendix-Q4-Element2-LOC. HydroStar's target market/partner!The opportunity for our solution derives from the current process of hydrogen-supply and fuelling of a vehicle known as the 'well-to-tank' routine. The existing process is economically/emission inefficient, on average consuming 35.5% value per tanker-load of Hydrogen---ScienceDirect-osti.gov/servlets/purl/1580696-July2019---calculated from:1. Production off-site by electrolysis/alternative2. Compression3. Delivery logistics4. Stored/compressed at HRS5. Decompressed6. Pumped into the vehiclePointing to an essential need for an alternative low-cost, higher-efficiency 'well-to-tank' hydrogen production process/solution.**OBJECTIVES**To produce locally, 99.999% pure, high-pressure-hydrogen using, renewable-electricity, low-cost-electrolysers, and innovative hydrogen-storage/compression-cycles (HyPro), not only saving energy, but also reducing traffic-congestion through no/minimal logistics, improving economics, subsequently lowering-air-pollution.**FOCUS-&-INNOVATION**The project will build on previous research-and-development (LSBU) of decarbonised hydrogen-storage and high-pressure production, creating an advanced-working-product.Instead of using huge-pressure-tanks and energy intensive-electric-compressors, innovative thermal-driven (using renewables), compact Metal-Hydride-Reactors (storage tubes filled with low-cost Metal-Hydride-alloys absorbing the hydrogen) will be used to store/purify/compress and decompress the gas, improving safety-and-economics.**BENEFITS**20% improvement on efficiency is expected using our HyPro-Solution, because of a significant reduction in costs by eliminating several-stages of the current well-to-tank routine:-Packaging off-site/Logistics hydrogen-plant to HRS/Electric-compression/decompression at the HRS.
