Descripción del proyecto
Electrolizadores avanzados para combustibles verdes
La estrategia europea para una economía ecológica con bajas emisiones de carbono depende de la eficiencia y las soluciones de bajo coste que ofrecen los combustibles ecológicos como el metanol ecológico. El proyecto Djewels, financiado con fondos europeos, pondrá a prueba la disponibilidad operativa de los electrolizadores de 20 MW para la producción de metanol ecológico en situaciones habituales del comercio y la industria. El proyecto impulsará la creación de electrolizadores alcalinos presurizados gracias a la mejora de la densidad actual de los electrodos destinados los procesos de fabricación normalizados. Combinará las economías de escala con el funcionamiento flexible y perfecto de los electrolizadores para garantizar un hidrógeno de bajo coste para los clientes. El proyecto tiene como objetivo mejorar la tecnología hacia la próxima generación de 100 MW y está en consonancia con las ambiciones de la Empresa Común Pilas de Combustible e Hidrógeno 2 y la hoja de ruta regional.
Objetivo
Djewels demonstrate the operational readiness of 20 MW electrolyser for the production of green fuels (green methanol) in real-life industrial and commercial conditions. It will bring the technology from TRL 7 to TRL 8 and lay the foundation for the next scale-up step, towards 100 MW on the same site.
Djewels will enable the development of next generation of pressurised alkaline electrolyser, by developing embarking more cost efficient, better performing, high current density electrodes, preparing the serial manufacturing of the stack and scale-up of the balance of plant components .
Economies of scale combines with the flexible and optimized operation of the electrolyser, applying advanced electricity procurement and arbitrage strategies will ensure a low cost of hydrogen for the end-user during the 3 years of operation. This project will demonstrate the conditions for a profitable business cases for green hydrogen production as an input for green (or low-carbon) methanol production towards large-scale deployment in Europe before 2030.
Djewels will be located in Delfzijl industrial park, where AkzoNobel already produces hydrogen through a chlor-alkali process and where the (bio)methanol producer, BioMCN, is also located. Delfzijl industrial park has with a direct connection to the electricity transmission grid, and low distribution network charges within. Other hydrogen industry clients in Delfzijl create further conditions for scaling up green hydrogen production. Beyond Delfzijl, the park is connected via a dense gas networks to other large-scale chemical and (petro)chemical hydrogen clients in the Netherlands and Germany. These could allow Djewels to be a stepping stone towards the creation of a new hydrogen valley, in line with the ambitions of the FCH2-JU and the regional roadmap, within the industrial cluster of Delfzijl, the Northern Netherland and beyond.
