Structural & Technological Challenges of Large Scale H2 Production

This presentation focuses on supply of power and export of PtX products in the context of the dramatical upscaling of systems which is necessary to achieve a significant impact on the environment, European self-sufficiency and geo-political independence.

One focus point is on the stability of the electrical grid during ramp up/down due to fluctuations of sustainable power production. This will allow for compliance with the code requirements of the local TSO and ensure that the entire transmission grid will stay operational even during abrupt decoupling of the PtX facility.

Further, technologies for export and buffering of hydrogen bearing in mind the low density of the gas will be outlined. This also relates to the continuous export of products to customers, independent of fluctuating green power production.

Finally, some thoughts of the equipment suppliers geopolitical acceptability and reliability will be discussed.

This is from the conference "Uncertainty Management - Risk Management in a Rapidly Changing World". Read about the conference themes here.

About the speaker:

With 35 years of experience in all aspects of the oil, gas and power industry, Niels has built extensive expertise in project management, contract management, sourcing, fabrication, maintenance and reliability. His experience also spans working as a project manager, designer, buyer and site inspector.

Niels has had management responsibility for technical staff and has managed projects of all sizes, from small initiatives to large projects.

As part of PEER review teams, he has contributed to large-scale development plans and played a key role in their execution. His technical leadership has been important for process, mechanical and structural projects, where he also specialises in fire, dispersion and explosion considerations.

Currently Niels is also supporting several national and internation PtX projects on consenting and functional safety.
