Hy-Value : Waste Biogas to Hydrogen for Road Transport

Hy-Value计划提供了一种氢气来源，随着氢气汽车数量的增加，氢气可以成为地区或国家的重要资源，提供了一条从污水废物沼气转化为氢气的低成本路线，用作公路运输燃料。与电池电动汽车相比，氢动力汽车在具体应用中具有优势，提供了与汽油/柴油相似的用户体验，续航里程为400英里，加油时间为5分钟。Hy-Value通过在一个真实的方案中同时考虑氢气供应和氢气需求(来自车辆)，提供了一种综合方法。Hy-Value通过展示具有成本效益的大规模绿色氢气生产，以及使用拟议设施生产的氢气的氢燃料汽车，解决了目前氢气经济发展缓慢的事实。由于缺乏现成的供应，目前的进展太慢，无法刺激汽车行业创造汽车，反之亦然。通过审查通过IETF基金进行二氧化碳储存的区域产业集群，将调查储存制氢过程中捕获的二氧化碳的机会。科斯坦将与D？R Cymru/威尔士水务公司密切合作，后者是将沼气转化为绿色氢气的技术的潜在客户，也是氢气车辆脱碳的潜在客户。这个单一的项目有可能使整个威尔士水运系统完全脱碳。绿色氢气的供应将使南威尔士和整个英国的水务行业和运输业去碳化。威尔士水务公司非常适合作为亲密合作伙伴，因为他们已经在四个地点使用可再生沼气进行热电联产。氢气生产设施计划设在他们生产沼气的一个废水处理地点。目前寻求的是与柴油成本相当的5 GB/公斤氢气。早些时候的一项侦察研究表明，这个项目的氢气成本将处于这个水平。我们将与加的夫市议会合作，了解他们对氢气汽车的潜在需求。*拟议项目的第一阶段将建立信心，通过技术审查和概念设计确定计划。*第二阶段将开发设计到投资级的细节，同时展示改装车辆中氢气的使用，向潜在的氢气接受者提供保证，即该技术已准备好部署。

The Hy-Value scheme offers a source of hydrogen that can be an important resource regionally or nationally as the number of hydrogen vehicles grows, offering a low-cost route from sewage waste biogas to hydrogen, for use as a road transport fuel. Hydrogen vehicles have advantages over Battery Electric vehicles in specific applications, offering a similar user experience to petrol/diesel with 400 miles range and 5 minute fill times. Hy-Value provides an integrated approach by considering both hydrogen supply and hydrogen demand (from vehicles) in one real-world scheme. Hy-Value addresses the fact that the hydrogen economy is currently slow in taking off by demonstrating cost effective, large scale production of green hydrogen, alongside hydrogen fueled vehicles that use the hydrogen produced at the proposed facility. Current progress is too slow due to the absence of a readily available supply, to stimulate the industry to create vehicles and vice versa. Opportunities to store CO2 captured by the hydrogen production process will be investigated, by reviewing the regional industrial clusters progressing CO2 storage though the IETF fund. Costain will be collaborating closely with D?r Cymru / Welsh Water, a potential customer of technology to convert biogas to green hydrogen and of hydrogen vehicles to decarbonise their fleet. This single project has the potential to fully decarbonise the whole of Welsh Water's transport. The availability of green hydrogen will de-carbonise the water industry and transport in South Wales and across the UK. Welsh Water are well-suited as a close partner because they already use renewable biogas for CHP at four locations. The hydrogen production facility is planned to be located at one of their wastewater treatment sites that produce the biogas. Parity with diesel costs at £5/kg hydrogen is currently sought. An earlier scouting study indicated the cost of hydrogen would be at that level from this project. We will work with Cardiff City Council to understand their potential demand for hydrogen vehicles. * Phase 1 of the proposed project will build confidence, defining the scheme through technology reviews and a concept design. * Phase 2 will develop the design to investment grade detail, whilst in parallel demonstrating hydrogen use in converted vehicles, providing assurance to potential off takers of hydrogen that the technology is ready to be deployed.
