How can renewable hydrogen compete with diesel in public transport? Robust design optimization of a hydrogen refueling station under techno-economic and environmental uncertainty

Diederik Coppitters et al.

Summary: Heavy-duty transport accounts for almost 6% of greenhouse gas emissions in Europe. Renewable hydrogen is a potential solution for decarbonizing heavy-duty transport, such as buses. This study applies robust design optimization to a wind- and solar-powered hydrogen refueling system and a hydrogen- and diesel-powered bus fleet to minimize the Levelized Cost Of Driving (LCOD) and Carbon Intensity (CI) considering technical, economic, and environmental uncertainties, and finds that converting part of the diesel-powered bus fleet to hydrogen-powered buses can significantly reduce variance in LCOD and CI while only slightly increasing the mean LCOD.

An integrated system for ammonia production from renewable hydrogen: A case study

Merve Ozturk et al.

Summary: This study presents an analysis and assessment study of an integrated system for producing ammonia, consisting of a cryogenic air separation unit, polymer electrolyte membrane electrolyzer, and reactor. The system's efficiency is impacted by solar radiation intensity and inlet air conditions, with an increase in solar influx leading to decreased efficiencies. Additionally, the mass flow rate of inlet air significantly affects ammonia production.

Ammonia to power: Forecasting the levelized cost of electricity from green ammonia in large-scale power plants

Zac Cesaro et al.

Summary: Green ammonia, synthesized from air, water, and renewable energy, is a carbon-free energy storage vector with numerous energy applications, including dispatchable green electricity. Techno-economic analysis shows that the cost of electricity production from green ammonia is projected to decrease with technological advancements, potentially allowing it to compete with other dispatchable low or zero-carbon technologies in the future.

How sensitive is a dynamic ammonia synthesis process? Global sensitivity analysis of a dynamic Haber-Bosch process (for flexible seasonal energy storage)

Kevin Verleysen et al.

Summary: The development of a sustainable energy sector relies on the safe management of energy transportation and storage. Producing an energy carrier like ammonia for large-scale storage of renewable energy is crucial, but attention must be paid to the stability of the ammonia reactor and the impact of uncertainties on performance. Inlet temperature has the most significant impact on ammonia production standard deviation, and more precise control over it can reduce this impact.

The Role of Electrofuels under Uncertainties for the Belgian Energy Transition

Xavier Rixhon et al.

Summary: Wind and solar energies face a challenge of time and space disparity leading to a mismatch between supply and demand, which can be addressed by electrofuels like hydrogen, methane, and methanol. However, the uncertainties and costs associated with electrofuels may influence the total costs of future energy systems.

Robust design optimization of a photovoltaic-battery-heat pump system with thermal storage under aleatory and epistemic uncertainty

Diederik Coppitters et al.

Summary: This study considers the effects of limited information on the natural variability through probability-boxes, finding the least-sensitive designs to natural variability and effective actions to reduce the effects of limited information. The photovoltaic-battery-heat pump configuration achieves higher robustness towards aleatory uncertainty, while clarifying the grid electricity contract and adopting specific energy demand profiles are key actions to determine the true-but-unknown performance and robustness of the optimized designs.

Impact of grid connectivity on cost and location of green ammonia production: Australia as a case study

Nicholas Salmon et al.

Summary: Green ammonia is a promising derivative of hydrogen that can reduce carbon emissions, but requires significant infrastructure for hydrogen and electricity storage. Connecting to the electricity grid can significantly reduce the additional infrastructure costs, especially in regions like Tasmania, providing the best opportunity to take advantage of low prices when they occur.

Green ammonia as a spatial energy vector: a review

Nicholas Salmon et al.

Summary: Green hydrogen and ammonia are considered critical components for deep decarbonisation of energy systems and may play a significant role in global energy usage in the future. However, there are gaps in the literature regarding key information such as production and transport costs of ammonia, which need to be addressed for the development of robust hydrogen and ammonia strategies.
