Asahi Kasei’s Post

large scale electrolyzer needs more electric/energy input to split hydrogen from oxygen. I think they should consider energy input consumed and the difficulties of storing hydrogen gas. Fusion pzlant maybe more efficient.

At Asahi Kasei, we are leading the charge towards a hydrogen-powered future! Hydrogen is vital to a carbon-neutral society. While hydrogen itself is colorless, it is classified using color codes based on the production method and the associated CO2 emissions. Gray: extracted from fossil fuels, emits CO₂. Blue: also extracted from fossil fuels, but with CO₂ capture. Green: made from renewables like solar and wind, no CO₂. Despite green hydrogen being the most effective for decarbonization, even now, there are challenges to producing it efficiently and at a low cost. Few large-scale green hydrogen facilities exist globally. At the Fukushima Hydrogen Energy Research Field (FH2R), we've developed cutting-edge alkaline water electrolysis technology for efficient and effective green hydrogen production.

We are pleased to share that Asahi Kasei has officially started the operation of a multi-module hydrogen pilot plant in Kawasaki, Japan. This marks an important milestone toward the realization of a 100 MW-class alkaline-water electrolysis system. Electrolysis for green hydrogen involves using electricity to split water molecules into hydrogen and oxygen. This process occurs in an electrolyzer with two electrodes submerged in water. The resulting hydrogen gas can be captured and stored for various applications, making it a sustainable energy source when powered by renewable electricity. In the pilot plant, four 0.8 MW Aqualyzer™ modules are being operated under realistic conditions, including operation during maintenance and low power supply during nighttime. In addition, the equipment is designed to simulate fluctuating power input from solar or wind power.

Hydrogen (H2) is growing in importance across an increasingly broad spectrum of applications and use cases. To meet this trend, Linde has doubled the H2 liquefaction capacity at its Leuna site in Germany and has commissioned a second plant in early 2021. In addition, Linde continues to expand its production capacity for green hydrogen by constructing the world's largest PEM (proton exchange membrane) electrolyzer at its Leuna site, planned to start production in 2022. The electrolyzer is being built by ITM Linde Electrolysis, a joint venture between Linde and ITM Power. With a capacity of 24 megawatts, this project is a crucial step for the growth of clean energy in Germany. "Hardly any other site offers such a wide range of hydrogen-related plants and products," explains Thierry Rousson, Head of Product Management Hydrogen & Syngas at Linde. #cecaasia #cecavadodara #energy #scienceandenvironment #growth #project #power #productmanagement #cleanenergy #hydrogen #greenhydrogen

#GWM_FTXT_H_Power In mid-December, Jiulongpo District in Chongqing and Lianyungang City in Jiangsu Province released their respective development plans for the hydrogen energy industry from 2023 to 2035. These plans emphasize the proactive promotion of renewable energy-based hydrogen production, the gradual improvement of the hydrogen energy industry value chain, the establishment of hydrogen storage and transportation networks, and the assurance of a stable hydrogen source. Additionally, these initiatives aim to expedite the demonstration and application of energy storage and power generation in hydrogen energy. China is witnessing an increasing number of cities embracing a tailored approach to develop hydrogen energy based on their industrial foundations and resource endowments. These cities are actively exploring diversified hydrogen energy applications, serving as demonstrations for China's energy structure adjustment and industrial transformation. By leveraging their unique advantages, these cities are paving the way for a greener and more sustainable future, while also contributing to the overall development and utilization of hydrogen energy in the country. #China #GWM #hydrogen #cleanenergy

Highlighting the 2023 World New Energy Vehicle Conference (WNEVC), the Low-Carbon Hydrogen Energy Technology Innovation and Application Forum was a resounding success in Haikou, Hainan. Jointly organized by the International Hydrogen Fuel Cell Association and the China Society of Automotive Engineers, this forum gathered global leaders and experts in hydrogen energy to explore the future of low-carbon hydrogen technologies.   Moderated by Shannan Murphy, Counsellor Climate, Energy and Environment of British Embassy Beijing, and Shuji Yuda, Senior Technical Officer of Toyota Motor (China) Investment Co., Ltd., the forum delved into hydrogen energy's safety, innovation, and practical application. Keynote speakers included Francisco Boshell from the International Renewable Energy Agency (IRENA), Nick Smith, President of the INTERNATIONAL ASSOCIATION FOR HYDROGEN SAFETY, Wei ( Tony) Chen from Anglo American, and other representatives from CumminsEnze, FORVIA Hydrogen Energy China, Vision Group, Dongfeng Motor Corporation R&D Institute, who provided insights into the current challenges and technological status across the hydrogen energy industry.   A roundtable discussion on global low-carbon hydrogen energy development and cooperative opportunities also featured, highlighting the latest achievements in hydrogen technology, and exploring new pathways for global low-carbon development. #HydrogenEnergy #NewEnergy #HydrogenTechnology #WNEVC2023 #LowCarbonDevelopment

Capacity of electrolyzers in Germany in the year 2050 - Nemir Araca To produce the hydrogen, the energy system requires electrolyzers with high capacity and further generation units for the synthetic energy carriers (such as separation and liquefaction systems). The Figure shows the required electrolyzer capacity in different scenarios for the year 2050. If there are still a few gigawatts of electrolyzer capacity used to produce hydrogen in 2030, the capacity in 2050 will increase to around 40 GW to 90 GW. The decisive factors influencing this capacity are the demand for synthetic energy carriers and the competitiveness of Germany as a location for operating electrolyzers.
