Advanced Oxygen-Free Electrolyzer for Ultra-Low-Cost H2 Storage for Fossil Plants (Final Technical Report)

Year: 2024

Type: report

Abstract: DOE’s Office of Fossil Energy and Carbon Management has determined that long-duration energy storage solutions co-located with fossil energy assets offer significant benefits to the fossil industry, electric utilities, and customers. T2M Global has developed an Advanced O2-Free Electrolyzer System (AES) Technology for low-cost, long-duration H2 energy storage for fossil plants. The MW-class AES Module conceptual design aims to upgrade stranded assets (dilute/waste syngas streams, excess electricity, and waste heat) at fossil plants to higher value H2 for additional revenue and greater sustainability. The H2 energy storage equips fossil plants with the load following capability needed for the lucrative grid-support services market created by Variable Renewable Energy resources.
