Investors Back Aviation H2’s Hydrogen Jet Engine Plane Plans

Strategic Research Institute
Published on :
21 Feb, 2022, 5:30 am

An oversubscribed capital raise shows investors have confidence in Aviation H2’s plans to build Australia’s first hydrogen powered-plane. Investors have clearly shown they believe in Aviation H2’s engineering-first approach after backing an initial capital raising to fund the planning study for the development of the green energy jet engine plane. Aviation H2 is firmly of the belief that Australia has the opportunity to become a global leader in this space, which is projected to reach USD 174 billion by 2040. The company is looking to achieve this by developing a state-of-the-art method for converting a traditional aircraft into a hydrogen-fuelled plane, allowing potential customers to modify existing aircraft rather than investing in an entirely new fleet.

Aviation H2 is currently testing a variety of options for carbon free flight and will present the most commercially viable option to its board in mid-March. They expect to have a plane in the sky within the next 18 months.

Hydrogen is widely seen as the fuel of the future that will complement batteries as the world shifts towards net zero emissions. While batteries and electric vehicles have taken an apparent early lead in the consumer vehicles segment, hydrogen has been touted as the better option for commercial and heavier vehicles. This is due to a combination of the mass required for batteries and their long recharge time, against the ability of hydrogen fuel cell powered vehicles to be quickly refuelled – an undeniable benefit for vehicles which need to be on road to perform their jobs. However, there is one transportation segment that is hydrogen’s for the winning and that’s aviation, a sector that makes up 2% of global emissions.

While batteries are certainly viable if you’re talking about propeller driven planes, they don’t even come into consideration for long-range flights. Barring any major technological breakthroughs, batteries are simply too heavy for long-range aircraft. This means green hydrogen is the only viable option for zero emissions, long-distance. There’s still some work required before it’s viable, but hydrogen’s energy density makes it the only real alternative to jet fuel.

ZoneFlow Secures US Patent for Hydrogen Bayonet Reactor

Strategic Research Institute
Published on :
21 Feb, 2022, 5:30 am

ZoneFlow Reactor Technologies LLC announced that it granted a US patent for its ZoneFlowTM Bayonet Reactor. The reactor’s innovative design promises to significantly drive down the cost of hydrogen production, further strengthening the resource’s viability as an alternative for fossil fuel use. Recirculating syngas through the Bayonet Reactor transfers the heat in the syngas to the cooler reactant gases entering the reactor, contributing 15-20% of the heat required for hydrogen production. This results in a corresponding reduction in the demand on, and the expense of, the furnace and its fuel.

ZoneFlow expects to test the commercial version of the Bayonet Reactor in 2022 in connection with its recently announced joint development project with Honeywell UOP.

ZF Bayonet Reactors solve a problem that has perplexed designers of steam methane reforming equipment for decades. The reforming process requires high temperatures and the hydrogen-containing syngas it produces exits the conventional reactor tubes at a similar temperature. In current practice, the hot syngas is used to make steam or preheat feedstock, but a much higher value use would be making hydrogen. The ZF Bayonet Reactor does so, returning the syngas through a central tube to use its heat in the reforming process taking place in the annulus of the larger reactor tube. Although the idea of a bayonet reactor is not new, proprietary features of the ZF Bayonet Reactor make it practical for the first time.

De mening van Goldmann Sachs over waterstof in de toekomst.

Schone waterstof is naar voren gekomen als een cruciale pijler voor elk strevend wereldwijd netto-nulpad, wat bijdraagt aan het koolstofvrij maken van ongeveer 15% van de wereldwijde BKG-emissies, schatten we, waarbij TAM alleen al voor waterstofopwekking het potentieel heeft om te verdubbelen tot US$250 miljard in 2030 en >US$1 tn in 2050.
We zijn van mening dat het nu tijd is om het thema schone waterstof opnieuw te bekijken als beleid, betaalbaarheid en schaalbaarheid lijken samen te komen om een ??ongekend momentum te creëren voor schone waterstof economie.

Beleidsondersteuning wordt wereldwijd sterker, met >30 nationale waterstofstrategieën en roadmaps die een >400-voudig . beloven
toename van de geïnstalleerde capaciteit voor schone waterstof dit decennium ten opzichte van 2020 en ondersteunt een c.50-voudige toename van het tempo van jaargemiddelde groene waterstof nieuwbouw.

Schaalbaarheid zorgt nu al voor een revolutie in de pijplijn van groene waterstofprojecten, met ruimte voor gemiddelde projectomvang om 100x+ te vergroten, van 2MW in 2020 naar >200MW in 2025 en een GW-schaal in 2030, wat leidt tot een kostendeflatie van 40% voor elektrolysesystemen tegen 2025E, vergelijkbaar met wat is waargenomen voor batterijen over de afgelopen vijf jaar.

Betaalbaarheid verbetert snel met groene waterstof die waarschijnlijk even duur is als grijze in voordelige regio's tegen 2025E (US$ 1,5/kg H2) en waterstofkosten gelijk aan diesel in zwaar langeafstandsvervoer over de weg waarschijnlijk al in 2027E. Wij geloven dat schone waterstof kan uitgroeien tot een grote wereldmarkt, met gevolgen voor geopolitieke patronen in de energievoorziening, en we onderzoeken de zaak voor internationale handel en concluderen dat 30% van de wereldwijde waterstofvolumes hebben het potentieel om betrokken te zijn bij grensoverschrijdend vervoer, hoger dan voor aardgas.

Regio's zoals MENA, LatAm, Australië en Iberia zouden kunnen opkomen als belangrijke exporteurs van schone waterstof, terwijl Centraal-Europa, Japan, Korea en Oost-China belangrijke importeurs kunnen worden.

Met een cumulatieve investering van US$ 5,0 ton die nodig is in de toeleveringsketen van schone waterstof, onderzoeken we volgens onze schattingen:
de waterstofcase voor 11 industriële conglomeraten met toenemende blootstelling aan het thema en start ook met berichtgeving op drie toonaangevende waterstof pure-plays.

Japan to Develop Next-Gen Hydrogen Engine for Aircraft

The Yomiuri Shimbun

The Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology Ministry and the Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency (JAXA) will begin development of a next-generation aircraft engine that uses liquid hydrogen as fuel in fiscal 2022.

Hydrogen-powered aircraft that emit no CO2 may someday become mainstream, so Japan wants to secure the core technologies in order to enhance the international competency of its aviation industry.

The ministry on Friday presented its prioritized themes and work schedule in the aviation industry field to an expert panel, including the development of hydrogen engines.

JAXA has experience in using liquid hydrogen as fuel for rockets. The agency will continue its research and development of pumps to send the fuel to engines, combustor chambers and materials for tanks until fiscal 2030, and the developed technologies will be transferred to domestic manufacturers and others.

Japan’s aviation industry lacks the technology to design and manufacture complete aircraft on its own. Mitsubishi Heavy Industries ended up putting on hold its jet airliner business, but now aims to regain its footing by developing hydrogen engines.

Because liquid hydrogen has a low temperature of minus 253 C, there are also plans to harness this cooling capacity and combine it with superconducting motors.

Research and development for zero-emission aircraft is already taking off in the United States and Europe with an eye on the 2030s, when the current fleets of large passenger planes will start nearing their decommissioning.

European aviation giant Airbus aims to commercialize a hydrogen-powered aircraft by 2035. Although burning hydrogen does not emit CO2, safety and cost issues have yet to be overcome.

Strategic Research Institute
Published on :
22 Feb, 2022, 5:30 am

RWE and Neptune Energy have signed a Joint Development Agreement to develop the offshore green hydrogen demonstration project H2opZee ahead of 2030. H2opZee is a demonstration project which aims at building 300 to 500 megawatts electrolyzer capacity far out in the Dutch North Sea, in order to produce green hydrogen by using offshore wind. The hydrogen will then be transported to land through an existing pipeline. The pipeline has a capacity of 10 to 12 gigawatts, so it is already suitable for the further roll-out of green hydrogen production to gigawatt scale in the North Sea. The intention is to start the feasibility study in the second quarter 2022. The project is an initiative of TKI Wind op Zee, an initiative supported by the Dutch government that brings people, knowledge and financing together to realize the offshore energy transition.

H2opZee consists of two phases: In the first phase, a feasibility study will be carried out and an accessible knowledge platform set up. The objective of this is to start the roll-out of hydrogen at sea in the Netherlands. In the second phase, the project will actually be implemented.

Published on :
23 Feb, 2022, 5:30 am

Robert Bosch GmbH, BMW AG, Hexagon Purus & TesTneT are working together on a flat hydrogen storage project called FlatHyStor. Together, the companies are seeking to develop a flat hydrogen storage solution that will be used in future fuel cell passenger vehicles. FlatHyStor aims to come up with a Functional design and testing of an innovative hydrogen tank system. The idea behind the solution the consortium is developing is to store H2 in the flat space of the light-duty vehicle underbody of a passenger car, which would typically have been meant for battery electric vehicle, where the battery modules would e integrated.

FlatHyStor is moving forward under BMW AG’s leadership. It will be responsible for the coordination of the various activities. Moreover, it will also be providing the technical specifications for the H2 storage system’s integration and application.

The responsibilities of the other members of the consortium include Hexagon Purus’ development of the high-pressure H2 cylinders in addition to the vehicle integration structure that will be required. Robert Bosch GmbH is going to be developing the necessary advanced tank valve. It will also take on the development of a high-pressure regulator technology. Finally, TesTneT Engineering GmbH will be adopting the responsibility of delivering the storage component validation according to the latest standard and codes evaluations.

The first FlatHyStor prototypes for the 700-bar high-pressure hydrogen storage systems are set to be ready for delivery by the end of this year. The researchers are hoping the result will offer a more practical solution to contain the H2 in fuel cell vehicles. Currently, at this early stage of the project, it is unclear specifically what passenger vehicle or model the solution is being developed to suit.

The funding for the project comes from German Federal Ministry for Economic Affairs and Energy BMWi in the form of a EUR 6 million grant.

The company plans to build an industrial pilot plant on the same site this year.

The hydrogen producer has a small test facility, which it opened with catalyst and process development. The test facility and catalyst and process development were opened in the Kokkola Industrial Park in 2021. The firm reduces the emission of greenhouse gases through the use of catalysts and heat for methane molecule breakdown. The outcome is natural gas and biogas which is then processed further into H2 and solid clean carbon. The latter substance is usable as a material for producing electric car batteries.

The technology Hycamite is using is based on established research in applied chemistry conducted by University of Oulu, Finland researchers. Zero-emission H2 demand has been rising faster than had been previously expected and H2 production companies are moving fast to secure their place in the market.

In-der-City-Bus GmbH has awarded Everfuel GmbH the contract for the planning, construction and commissioning of a hydrogen refuelling station. The contract also includes maintenance and servicing. Additionally, Everfuel was awarded the contract for the supply of hydrogen for a minimum of three years.

The planned hydrogen refuelling station has the capacity to refuel at least 22 fuel-cell buses per day. It is designed to be fully redundant and modular so that the station can easily be expanded to refuel a larger number of hydrogen buses.

The green hydrogen dispensed will be delivered in Everfuel’s custom-build hydrogen trailers. The project will contribute to a significant reduction to emissions of climate-damaging greenhouse gases.

With this project, ICB is launching the next phase of its electrification concept where battery buses have been in use since 2018. With the fuel cell buses, the company is now integrating the second fossil-free technology into its fleet. In the future, the respective technological system advantages will thus be played out in Frankfurt's local transport.

ICB ordered their first 13 fuel cell buses from Solaris in mid-2021. These will be operated on the 22-kilometre Line 36 when delivered. The line runs almost exclusively through densely populated inner-city districts and areas close to the city center of Frankfurt.
