Renewable potential for hydrogen production
Biofuels , Woodchips, waste from pulp and paper industry, crops, waste, in total about 200 TWh
Windpower, potential very optimistic ~15 TWh
Wave power, test plants under construction
Solar power, low potential but might be significant for local production on remote sites.
New hydropower, large potential more than 20 TWh but politically impossible for the near future
Sweden Hydrogen utilization
Transport fuel will dominate for the use of hydrogen as an energy carrier
Hydrogen will have too big difficulties to compete with other energy carriers for residential use and in larger buildings
Sweden has a significant industrial hydrogen production about 150 000 tons per year
The Swedish hydrogen industry has a long experience of the use of hydrogen, storage, distribution and safety issues
In the Stenugnsund area they have pipeline system between four different industries.
Hydrogen as an energy carrier in Sweden
Hydrogen as energy carrier is a bottom-up approach in Sweden
The interest from the government is still very small
Largest activity Volvo Powercell PEFC fuel cell system including development of a reformer for diesel and other fuels
Some single demonstration projects- CUTE – Stockholm- Malmö Hydrogen filling station- several single hydrogen vehicles demonstrations- a new Hydrogen filling stations in Göteborg on the west coast under negotiation
Hydrogen Sweden partnership
SMEs: Cellkraft, myFC, Opcon a.o.
The future for hydrogen as energy carrier in Sweden
Hydrogen as transport fuel depending on a breakthrough of Fuel Cell Vehicles
Renewable production of hydrogen- reforming of ADP biogas - gasification of biomass- other local renewables windpower, new small hydro power plants- solar and wavepower might come later
Stationary systems, back-up power and stand-alone systemsbiogas – fuel cell systems might come
