Green Energy and Hydrogen from Coal The draft of Integrated Project Proposals in Support for the HYPOGEN EU Initiative of Sustainable Energy Development Jerzy Bednarczyk, Jan Kozubowski, Jan Rogut Institute of Opencast Mining “Poltegor”, Wrocław, Warsaw Technical University, Warsaw, Central Mining Institute, Katowice,

2 Main Targets and Points of Interests of Hydrogen Related Research in Poland: Fossil fuel based power plants as future energy and hydrogen producers the sustainable way - the Green Energy from Coal concept Trans-border Czech - Slovak- Polish HyCom in Cieszyn/Tesin as an important tool for regional development - non fossil Establishment of the International R&D Centre of Separation Technologies for Hydrogen Economy Needs - EU Marie Curie Transfer of Knowledge (TOK) Fund - Coke oven gas as separation model fluid - low cost nanostructured metals for hydrogen separation, cleaning up, and storage Hydrogen as friendly (!), safe (!) and profitable (!) material and energy carrier

3 Sources of Natural Gas for Europe in Short Term Perspective Long-term Security of Gas Supply in a Liberalized Market Jean-Paul PINON Director Gas Market, CREG Co-chairman of the Gas Working Group, CEER UNEC Round Table – Genève 20/01/2004

4 Hydrogen Production, Investment Costs 0 1,000 2,000 3,000 4, Capacity (million Nm 3 H 2 /day) Investment Costs (1990 US$/kW) Steam Methane Reforming (SMR) Partial Oxidation (POX) Coal Gasification Thermal Cracking Biomass Gasification Electrolysis

5 Coal is of great interest because it is: Plentiful. Resource ~ 500 years (vs. gas/oil: ~100 years). Inexpensive $/GJ HHV (vs. gas at 2.5+ $/GJ). Ubiquitous. Wide geographic distribution (vs. middle east). Clean?! Gasification, esp. with sequestration, produces little gaseous emissions and a chemically stable, vitreous ash.

11 HYPOGEN FutureGen

12 USTDEV Capture and sequestration of CO 2 associated with cleaner fossil fuel plants Global and EU energy supply will, for the foreseeable future ( ), be dominated by fossil energy sources. However, their CO 2 emissions are a major drawback in the context of global climate change. The challenge is therefore to be able to use these fossil fuels whilst eliminating CO 2 through cost-effective capture and sequestration and at the same time maintaining EU industrial competitiveness in global markets. Targets: reduce the cost of CO 2 capture from € to € per tonne of CO 2 captured, whilst aiming at achieving capture rates above 90%, and assess the reliability and long term stability of sequestration.
