Advanced Oxygen-Free Electrolyzer for Ultra-Low-Cost H 2 Storage for Fossil Plants (Final Technical Report)

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 O 2 -Free Electrolyzer System (AES) Technology for low-cost, long-duration H 2 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 H 2 for additional revenue and greater sustainability. The H 2 energy storage equips fossil plants with the load following capability needed for the lucrative grid-support services market created by Variable Renewable Energy resources.

Innovative Non-PGM Catalysts for High-Temperature PEMFCs

The objective of this project was to revolutionize high-temperature proton exchange membrane fuel cell (PEMFC) technology based on polymer membranes imbibed with phosphoric acid through development of stable, high-performance non-precious cathode catalysts. High-temperature PEMFCs operate in a range of 150-220 degrees centigrade, making them ideal candidates for combined heat and power (CHP) applications. Successful catalyst development showed potential to be translated to other solid acid systems such as those based on the Cs2HPO4 (CDP) electrolyte. This incubator effort was however exclusively focused on catalyst development for H3PO4-imbibed PEMFCs.

Electrochemical Hydrogen Compressor

Conventional compressors have not been able to meet DOE targets for hydrogen refueling stations. They suffer from high capital cost, poor reliability and pose a risk of fuel contamination from lubricant oils. This project has significantly advanced the development of solid state hydrogen compressor technology for multiple applications. The project has achieved all of its major objectives. It has demonstrated capability of Electrochemical Hydrogen Compression (EHC) technology to potentially meet the DOE targets for small compressors for refueling sites. It has quantified EHC cell performance and durability, including single stage hydrogen compression from near-atmospheric pressure to 12,800 psi and operation of EHC for more than 22,000 hours. Capital cost of EHC was reduced by 60%, enabling a path to meeting the DOE cost targets for hydrogen compression, storage and delivery ($2.00-2.15/gge by 2020).
