Description du projet
Technologie de type V destinée au transport de l’hydrogène
Les solutions actuelles de transport d’hydrogène à l’aide de remorques utilisent des tubes dont la pression de service est comprise entre 200 et 300 bars. Cette solution ne convient pas aux grandes stations de ravitaillement en raison de sa capacité limitée et de son coût élevé. Le projet ROAD TRHYP, financé par l’UE, élaborera un concept de remorque qui intègre des tubes composites thermoplastiques innovants et une stratégie de sécurité pour la chaîne d’approvisionnement haute pression afin d’atteindre les aux objectifs du partenariat pour l’hydrogène propre. Le projet optimisera la quantité d’hydrogène transportée et assurera la sécurité et la décontamination afin de satisfaire aux exigences et aux réglementations des utilisateurs finaux. Le consortium concevra une remorque capable de transporter jusqu’à 1,5 tonne d’hydrogène à l’aide de tubes pouvant atteindre 700 bars. En outre, il élaborera une feuille de route visant à réduire les dépenses d’investissement ainsi que l’empreinte environnementale du transport de l’hydrogène comprimé.
Objectif
Nowadays, existing trailer transportation solutions use tubes with a working pressure between 200 and 300 bar. This is not efficient in terms of quantities or cost to address large refuelling stations knowing the upcoming ramp-up of fuel cell-based vehicles.
The overall objective of the ROAD TRHYP project is to develop and validate a trailer integrating new thermoplastic composite tubes (Type V) to reach Clean Hydrogen Partnership objectives by maximising the quantity of H2 transported while satisfying end-user requirements (safety, ability to be decontaminated) and enforced regulations with a low TCO. By the end of the project, the consortium will design a trailer capable of handling a payload of 1.5 tonne of H2 with 700 bar tubes and a capex lower than 400 €/kg. This enables the decrease of the number of transport rotations between the site of production and the delivery site, consequently the reduction of the environmental footprint of transporting compressed hydrogen, but also a downsizing of the compressor at the HRS. In the meantime, the project will heavily investigate new fire testing methodologies and safety barriers for type V adoption, results which will be disseminated to key policy makers and regulatory committees.
ROAD TRHYP’s overall ambition is to develop Europe’s value chain of type V technologies. More specifically, the project intends to address all manufacturers across Europe who could benefit from the project’s innovative process and materials. Beyond the targeted commercial type V trailers applications, the knowledge developed on composite materials could benefit main actors in the mobility sectors or the hydrogen storage for inter-seasonal energy storage. As a consequence, the project would help achieve the European Green Deal making hydrogen a widespread energy carrier, by 2030.
