Projektbeschreibung
Innovative Idee zur Kommerzialisierung einer sauberen und nachhaltigen Art der Wasserstofferzeugung
Wenn Wasserstoff und Sauerstoff in einer Brennstoffzelle zur Erzeugung von Elektrizität (d. h. einem Ionenstrom) kombiniert werden, entstehen dabei nur zwei Nebenerzeugnisse: Wasser und Wärme. Zur Erzeugung von Wasserstoffgas gibt es allerdings mehrere Möglichkeiten, viele davon nicht emissionsfrei. Bei der Gewinnung von Wasserstoffgas aus erneuerbaren Energiequellen entsteht der sogenannte grüne Wasserstoff – und genau dieser steht im Mittelpunkt des EU-finanzierten Projekts HYDROSOL-beyond. Das Projektteam geht damit den abschließenden Teil der HYDROSOL-Projektreihe im Rahmen von Horizont 2020 an. Ziel ist die Optimierung der eigens entwickelten Anlage zur Wasserstofferzeugung, die mithilfe von konzentrierter Solarthermie Wasserstoff erzeugen kann. Durch technische Verbesserungen und Erweiterungen bei der Prozesskontrolle werden noch bestehende Hindernisse im Hinblick auf die Kommerzialisierung und Markteinführungen beseitigt werden.
Ziel
The HYDROSOL-beyond proposed action is a continuation of the HYDROSOL-technology series of projects based on the utilization of concentrated solar thermal power for the production of Hydrogen from the dissociation of water via redox-pair-based thermochemical cycles. HYDROSOL-beyond is an ambitious scientific endeavor aiming to address the major challenges and bottlenecks identified during the previous projects and further boost the performance of the technology via innovative solutions that will increase the potential of the technology’s future commercialization. In this context, HYDROSOL-beyond will capitalize on the 750kWth existing operational infrastructure, built in the HYDROSOL-Plant project, as well as on a “cluster” of relevant solar platforms and units (owned & operated by the project partners) in order to collect diverse experimental data from a wide range of achievable solar power (50-750kWth) facilities. This way HYDROSOL-beyond will have the flexibility of assessing the proposed novel approaches both under realistic environments and at different scales. The main objectives of HYDROSOL-beyond are:
• the minimization of the parasitic loses mostly related to the high consumption of inert gas via the introduction of innovative concepts for the purification and the potential full recycling of the utilized gases
• the efficient recovery of heat at rates >60%
• the development of redox materials and structures with enhanced stability (>1,000 cycles) and with production of hydrogen ~three times higher than the current state-of-the-art Ni-ferrite foams
• the development of a technology with annual solar-to-fuel efficiency of ≥10%
• the improvement of the reactor design and introduction of novel reactor concepts
• the development of smart process control strategies and systems for the optimized operation of the plant
• the demonstration of efficiency >5% in the field tests, i.e. during operation at the 750kWth HYDROSOL solar platform (PSA, Spain)
