HYDROGEN ENERGY

Hydrogen as an energy carrier (energy storage)

  • Hydrogen 2G engines, unlike fuel cells, do not need pure hydrogen, they can work successfully with impurities in the fuel.
  • Decentralized approach – increases the reliability of the power supply network
  • Load variation range from 50 to 100% of rated power
  • Ability to work in the “island” mode with a large range of load changes
  • Multi-fuel operation possible with optional control modules (e.g. natural gas/biogas/landfill gas)
  • Ability to retrofit existing 2G gas engines for hydrogen fuel use

An example of a project in the city of Hasfurt

Minister of Economics Aiwanger Together with the German Thermal Energy Association and Energy and Management presented the CHP of the Year award

The hydrogen unit of the CHPP in Hassfurt won the CHP of the Year 2019 category. The official awards ceremony had to be postponed due to the pandemic and can now take place at the Bavarian Ministry of Economics in Munich on June 22. Minister of State Hubert Eiwanger presented the certificate to the three project partners.

The partners of the Hassfurth municipal companies in this test facility – a complete energy-to-gas chain with the reverse flow of hydrogen and heat – are 2G Energy AG from Heek and the Institute for Energy Technology (IfE) of the East-Bavarian Technical University Amberg-Weiden.

The jury of the German Combined Heat and Power Association (BKWK) decided on the choice of CHP of the Year.

The project shows the result of cooperation between operators, manufacturers and scientists. In addition, the jury approved the calculations of the manufacturer, 2G Energy GmbH, for the already possible economic operation of a hydrogen CHP plant.

“For about 20 years, together with the BKWK, we have been presenting the award,” said Stefan Sagmeister, editor-in-chief of Energie and Management, at the awards ceremony in Munich. “With CHP of the year, we want to make outstanding CHP projects more known among municipal utilities and municipalities, but also among the general public.” This is because Hydrogen to Gas is an important technology that will certainly be
is still essential for the success of the energy transition.
