Hydrogen Strategy for Climate-Neutral Europe:
– The EU presented the “Hydrogen Strategy for Climate-Neutral», which aims to increase the share of hydrogen in the energy mix and use it in various sectors, including industry, transportation and electricity.
Investments and Financing:
– The EU provides financial support and invests in research, innovation and projects related to hydrogen energy. This includes support programs such as the Clean Hydrogen Alliance and the Innovation Fund.
Infrastructure development:
– Hydrogen infrastructure construction projects, including refueling stations and manufacturing facilities, are supported to ensure the sustainable growth of this industry.
Electrolysis in the Green and Blue Bands:
– Emphasis is placed on the development of electrolysis technologies using renewable energy sources (green hydrogen) and other forms (blue hydrogen) to reduce carbon emissions.
Ukraine is one of the world leaders in the production of nuclear electricity, ranking 7th (71.5 GWh), ahead of Germany – 60.9 GWh and Great Britain – 45.7 GWh (according to 2020 data).
The potential of Ukrainian nuclear power plants has not previously been used at full capacity, as Ukraine was not connected to the European Unified Energy System (ENTSO-E) until February 2022, and hostilities have been ongoing in the country since February 2022.
With the involvement of international investors, work is underway to build new and modernize existing power units to increase the capacity of the Ukrainian nuclear power industry.
The ambitious goal of HEEC is the project for the construction of a hydrogen production station and the construction of a network of autonomous hydrolysis complexes equipped with H2 storage tanks and a filling station module.
Ukraine is a large industrial country with a developed logistics infrastructure. Ukraine ranks 12th in the ranking of countries in terms of railway tracks, of which less than half are electrified (as of 2014).
Of the 3.5 thousand locomotives, 1.9 are diesel locomotives, of which less than half are in good condition and in operation. Almost a thousand diesel locomotives are subject to repair or write-off due to outdated design and shortage/lack of spare parts.
Territorially, Ukraine borders the EU in the western regions, and in the south it also has access to the Black Sea, which contributes to the export potential of hydrogen and electricity.
The construction of the Energy Storage Station involves operation in maneuvering modes to equalize imbalances in the power system:
After the implementation of the project, the possibility of combining the entire network of Complexes and Station/Stations into one System as part of the country’s energy system with the possibility of maneuvering and equalizing imbalances is calculated.
Produced excess (unused) hydrogen can be exported to other countries in the form of ammonia (to facilitate transportation) or sold on the domestic market in the event of an expansion of hydrogen consumers.
Construction of a network of autonomous hydrolysis complexes equipped with H2 storage tanks and a filling station module:
H2-Complexes consist of modular blocks of standard equipment with package technical solutions for layout, installation and commissioning.
The combination of production, storage and sales (gas station) in one complex allows you to avoid the cost of transporting hydrogen. There are options for the construction of independent complexes or in collaboration with large network gas stations.
The model provides for the possibility of remote control/programming with the priority of work at a “night” low rate.
To form and stimulate the pool of hydrogen end users and customers of these H2-Complexes, two subprojects have been developed:
Import of city buses and municipal special vehicles within the framework of cooperation with local governments of several regional centers.
Modernization of old diesel shunting diesel locomotives with their transfer to the use of hydrogen in cooperation with Ukrzaliznytsia or other private/public companies.
In combination with the construction of hydrogen refueling stations, this will allow to obtain synergy from the parallel development of Production and Consumption
