This week, we take a look at our Integrated Energy PhD Student, Alexander Oburoh’s, Energy Study on the production and utilisation of blue hydrogen 🔵     This environmental impact assessment study aims to focus on the impact of environmental, human health and resource use. To do so, a life-cycle assessment approach is used to quantify the role of blue hydrogen in the decarbonisation effort, which will help support future policy directions and industry investments.     Discover more about the approach and methodology used ⬇️     #BlueHydrogen #HydrogenProduction #HydrogenUtilisation #EnergyTransition 

We’re excited to share key developments from the ACHIEVE project, advancing clean energy research through cutting-edge technology and collaboration! Phoenix BioPower has successfully documented their “Fuel to Flame” test facility, a critical milestone in their energy generation research. Their partnerships with institutions like Technische Universität Berlin remain strong, with recent meetings ensuring alignment across projects. TU Berlin, leading WP2, has two new PhD students who are gearing up for an acoustic measurement campaign using Phoenix Biopower’s DS burner. Meanwhile, they’ve secured a HORIZON Clean H2 project grant for hydrogen combustion—great news for sustainable energy! At Delft University of Technology, advancements in fuel combustion and emissions testing are paving the way for cleaner energy. The team’s recent burner modifications have enhanced methane uniformity, and upcoming publications on fuel blends are eagerly anticipated. The ACHIEVE project is driving real progress in the quest for sustainable, green energy. Watch out for TU Delft’s MSc thesis presentation in November and more updates from our partners! #CleanEnergy #Sustainability #EnergyResearch #Collaboration #Innovation 👉 https://lnkd.in/d4qdbQGP

#GridScaleBatteries #Hydrogen #FuelCells #PumpedHydroStorage "... Wind turbines and solar power are rapidly replacing fossil fuels worldwide as a source of electricity. However, the wind does not always blow and the sun does not always shine, leading to fears of power outages. Currently, hydroelectric power and fossil gas provide most backup when insufficient coal, nuclear, or other electricity is available. What happens, though, when a country transitions to 100% renewable electricity, thereby eliminating fossil gas backup? Two of the main contenders for replacing fossil gas for storage are batteries and green hydrogen used in fuel cells. Green hydrogen is hydrogen produced from renewable electricity, such as wind, solar, or hydroelectricity. Electricity storage is used for two main purposes: providing short bursts of large amounts of power and providing lesser amounts of power for a long time. Although batteries can be linked together to provide both short-term power and long-term energy storage, they are more cost-effective for short-term (seconds to hours) power bursts than for long-term (hours to days or weeks) storage. Green hydrogen storage, on the other hand, is more cost effective for long-term energy storage than for short-term power bursts. Hydropower can be used for both short power bursts and long-term energy storage. Jacobson analyzed the cost of keeping the grid stable in 145 countries powered for all energy purposes (electricity, transportation, buildings, industry, agriculture, forestry, fishing, and the military) by clean, renewable energy, namely electricity and heat coming from wind, hydroelectric, geothermal, and solar sources. The main electricity storage options included existing hydropower dams, batteries and green hydrogen. The study found that existing hydropower plus batteries avoids blackouts throughout the world. However, adding green hydrogen to the mix reduces energy overall cost in some regions. Using hydropower and green hydrogen but no batteries is always more expensive than using hydropower with both batteries and green hydrogen. The main reason for this result is that every region in the world needs short-term bursts of power with 100% renewables on the grid (thus every region needs either hydropower or batteries), but not every region needs new long-term storage. This is because such regions have either a good combination of wind and solar resources that provide energy continuously over long periods, have a lot of existing hydropower for long-term storage, and/or can use the same number of new batteries they use for short power bursts for long-term storage as well. Jacobson also finds that combining hydrogen production and storage for grid purposes and non-grid purposes (steel production, ammonia production, and long-distance, heavy transport) generally reduces overall energy cost relative to separating such production and storage, due to economies of scale. ..."
