National Priorities for Research, Technological Development and Training of
Human Resources for the Energy Sector
Working Group (mesa): 3B, H2 Energy Storage
R&D Opportunities
Date: 13 - 17 November 2017
Workshop Expectations & Goals
• Focus on Energy Storage with Grid applications• Do not focus on mobile applications, but CO2 mitigation can be included, if applicable
• Identifying R&D opportunities to be reported to Mexican Energy Department and National Research Council • The Department would eventually develop proposals in the first quarter of next year.
• Each Working Group to identify and document the opportunities• Stakeholders with an international perspective
• NRC published a call for R&D proposals for flow batteries, grid scale and fuel cells. Opinion or comments on Policies and human resources (training).
• Comment on how the project would create advanced degree (Masters/PhD), specialized training and technical subjects for students
• Final report will be concise, graphical and ideal for its ample distribution to SENER, academy, research centers and electrical industry

Agenda for Table 3/Panel B: H2 Energy Storage
Where does H2 fit?
• Hydrogen goes beyond electrons to electrons; value-added sink for electrons rather than a capacitor
• Making fair comparisons is difficult, so many peripheral impacts.
Conceptual H2 at Scale Energy System*
*Illustrative example, not comprehensive
• Attributes
– Increased renewables
– Clean, carbon-neutral industry and transportation
• Benefits
– Economic
– Security
– Environmental
P2G: H2 + CO2 + Biology → ProductsProject Summary (NREL/SoCal Gas)
• Generate hydrogen (H2) using inexpensive renewable electricity via water electrolysis
• Combine CO2 and H2 in 20 ft. tall bioreactor where organisms produce methane
Project Objectives
• Generate pipeline quality renewable natural gas as energy storage to enable higher penetrations of renewable electricity
• Demonstrate daily operation under varying hydrogen production via solar PV profile
• Validate overall system efficiency and costs from PV to H2 to CH4 to H2 to Electricity
Drivers for Grid-Scale Energy Storage (USA)
How do we describe and show value of H2?
• Can we assume a future with 1-2 cents per kWh?
• Everyone asks about electrolyzer, FC and round-trip efficiency• LHV (33.3 kWh/kg)?• HHV (39.4 kWh/kg)?• Or simply 50 - 55 kWh/kg for large-scale (MW) electrolyzer systems?• For example, 50% (LHV) efficient fuel cells return 16 kWh/kg H2
• Hydrogen in terms of other products and applications?• Beyond electrons-to-electrons • Renewable natural gas, ammonia, synthetic fuels and carbon-based products
• How do describe and demonstrate value added?

Questions to Consider
• What benefits can hydrogen bring to the Mexican electricity infrastructure?
• What opportunities does hydrogen represent for the Mexican energy sector?
• What are the knowledge gaps for Mexico concerning hydrogen technologies developed in other regions?
