  • Green Hydrogen the Next Transformational Driver of the Utilities Industry
    EQUITY RESEARCH | September 22, 2020 | 9:41PM BST The following is a redacted version of the original report. See inside for details. Green Hydrogen The next transformational driver of the Utilities industry In our Carbonomics report we analysed the major role of clean hydrogen in the transition towards Net Zero. Here we focus on Green hydrogen (“e-Hydrogen”), which is produced when renewable energy powers the electrolysis of water. Green hydrogen looks poised to become a once-in-a-generation opportunity: we estimate it could give rise to a €10 trn addressable market globally by 2050 for the Utilities industry alone. e-Hydrogen could become pivotal to the Utilities (and Energy) industry, with the potential by 2050 to: (i) turn into the largest electricity customer, and double power demand in Europe; (ii) double our already top-of-the-street 2050 renewables capex EU Green Deal Bull Case estimates (tripling annual wind/solar additions); (iii) imply a profound reconfiguration of the gas grid; (iv) solve the issue of seasonal power storage; and (v) provide a second life to conventional thermal power producers thanks to the conversion of gas plants into hydrogen turbines.

  • Developing Hydrogen Fueling Infrastructure for Fuel Cell Vehicles: a Status Update
    www.theicct.org BRIEFING OCTOBER 2017 Developing hydrogen fueling infrastructure for fuel cell vehicles: A status update This briefing provides a synthesis of information regarding the global development of hydrogen fueling infrastructure to power fuel cell vehicles. The compilation includes research on hydrogen infrastructure deployment, fuel pathways, and planning based on developments in the prominent fuel cell vehicle growth markets around the world. INTRODUCTION Governments around the world continue to seek the right mix of future vehicle technologies that will enable expanded personal mobility and freight transport with near-zero emissions. This move toward zero emissions is motivated by the simultaneous drivers of improving local air quality, protecting against increased climate change impacts, and shifting to local renewable fuel sources. Electricity-powered plug-in vehicles and hydrogen-powered fuel cell electric vehicles offer great potential to displace the inherently high emissions associated with the combustion of petroleum- based gasoline and diesel fuels. Hydrogen fuel cell electric vehicles offer a unique combination of features as a zero-emission alternative to conventional vehicles. Fuel cell powertrains, converting hydrogen to electric power to propel the vehicle, tend to be about twice as efficient as those on conventional vehicles. Hydrogen fuel cell vehicles are typically capable of long trips (i.e., over 500 kilometers or 300 miles) and a short refueling time that is comparable to conventional vehicles. Furthermore, fuel cell vehicles are expected to be less expensive than conventional vehicles in the long run. The Prepared by: Aaron Isenstadt and Nic Lutsey. BEIJING | BERLIN | BRUSSELS | SAN FRANCISCO | WASHINGTON ICCT BRIEFING diversity of fuel pathways to produce hydrogen allows for the use of lower-carbon, renewable, and nonimported sources.
