French-German Institute for Environmental Research (DFIU/IFARE) University of Karlsruhe Fraunhofer ISI Institute Systems and Innovation Research 2/15 Objective and model approach Model approach: The MOREHyS model  MOREHyS (Model for Optimisation of Regional Hydrogen Supply)  based on the open-source BALMOREL © model  technology-based (bottom-up), mixed-integer, linear optimisation model (myopic optimisation) - Technologies are described by techno-economic parameters - Optimisation criteria: cost minimisation - Several bounds: emission restrictions, use of renewables, etc. Objective: Development and application of a novel modelling approach to assess by means of an energy system analysis the economic and environmental effects of implementing a supply infrastructure for a hydrogen-based transport system

French-German Institute for Environmental Research (DFIU/IFARE) University of Karlsruhe Fraunhofer ISI Institute Systems and Innovation Research 3/15 Major features of MOREHyS  conventional energy supply system (electricity and heat generation)  integration of hydrogen supply infrastructure (production, transport, distribution)  tradeoffs between hydrogen and electricity production (energy system analysis)  time horizon: 2010 – 2030  geographic distribution of hydrogen demand centres based on population density  application of Geographic Information System (GIS)

French-German Institute for Environmental Research (DFIU/IFARE) University of Karlsruhe Fraunhofer ISI Institute Systems and Innovation Research 14/15 Major conclusions  production mix highly sensitive to gas/coal price ratio (total supply costs relatively unchanged)  introduction of hydrogen in high-demand areas leads to economies of scale in hydrogen production  LH 2 trailer transport/distribution economic for large production plants and dispersed hydrogen demand  large production plants imply higher transportation costs  industrial by-product hydrogen important source for initial hydrogen supply

French-German Institute for Environmental Research (DFIU/IFARE) University of Karlsruhe Fraunhofer ISI Institute Systems and Innovation Research 15/15 Major conclusions (continued)  production dominates total supply costs (7 – 8 ct/kWh)  hydrogen is competitive at crude oil prices around 50 $/barrel (no taxes, no vehicle costs included)  positive CO 2 balance: CO 2 savings transport > CO 2 emissions hydrogen production  coproduction of electricity and hydrogen with IGCC (CCS) especially interesting with cap on CO 2 emissions  use of renewables for electricity rather than hydrogen production, if CO 2 emissions are to be reduced
