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%(20MtCO2e)，公共汽车/客车占3%(3 MtCO2e)”---25/03/2021---BEIS-National-Statistics.Currently_)“英国道路上有85,000辆公交车和605,000辆卡车(平均年龄为10岁)，98.8%的柴油车”_而在欧盟有660万辆卡车，_‘ACEA-The-European-Automobile-Manufacturers-Organisation-2021-Report’.The UK-英国政府明确规定了到2030年实现净零排放的目标，支持大幅减少公路运输排放的必要性。这种减少可以通过用电动汽车或氢燃料电池电动汽车(HFCEV)来实现。与私家车不同，HGV和公交车通常行驶更长的距离，需要快速加油，重量与燃料来源的比率较低，所有这些都有利于HFCV作为这两类车辆的首选，如果不是唯一的选择。为了满足这一需求，英国需要在2030年前建立经济上可行的氢气加气站(HRSS)基础设施。“英国有8835个加氢站，欧盟有13.6万个加油站”-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气/电力供应，而不是柴油/汽油供应(目前英国有11个HRSS)。Element-2‘S的计划进一步巩固了我们的机会，最近筹集资金，到2030年提供2,000多台泵，为英国的重型货物和市政车队提供服务，我们已经与他们达成协议，提供有保证的收入。-参见-附录-Q4-Element2-LOC。水星的目标市场/合作伙伴！我们的解决方案的机会来自于当前的氢气供应和加油流程，这一流程被称为“油井到油箱”常规。现有工艺在经济/排放方面效率低下，平均每油轮负荷消耗35.5%的Hydrogen---ScienceDirect-osti.gov/servlets/purl/1580696-July2019---calculated，原因如下：1.异地电解/替代生产。压缩3.4.配送物流。以HRS5格式存储/压缩。解压6.注入到车辆中指出了对替代的低成本、高效率的井到罐制氢工艺/解决方案的基本需求。**目标**在本地生产，99.999%纯净、高压氢气利用、可再生电力、低成本电解槽和创新的氢气存储/压缩循环(HYPRO)，不仅节省能源，而且通过不需要/最少的物流来减少交通拥堵，改善经济，随后，lowering-air-pollution.**FOCUS-&-INNOVATION**The项目将在先前的脱碳氢气储存和高压生产研发的基础上，创造出一种先进的工作产品。将使用创新的热驱动(使用可再生能源)、紧凑型金属氢化物反应堆(充满低成本金属氢化物合金的存储管)来存储/净化/压缩和减压气体，而不是使用巨大的压力罐和能源密集型电动压缩机。提高安全性和经济性。**效益**使用我们的HyPro-解决方案，效率有望提高20%，因为通过消除当前井到罐常规的几个阶段，显著降低了成本：-将异地/物流氢气厂打包到HRS/电气-HRS的压缩/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.
