Laban, M.P. (author)In this paper the suitability of compressed hydrogen gas storage in salt caverns is analysed. The presence of microbial sulfate reducing bacteria create a contamination risk of H2S inside the cavern. Key cavern parameters that influence the production of H2S are highlighted by a chemical model. The model uses empirical data provided by...master thesis 2020

Kimman, Nick (author)Fossil fuel based energy systems are the main contributor to global warming. As new regulations come into place, a transition towards a more sustainable energy system must be realised. Hydrogen usage is regarded as the key enabler of such systems. The heart of these hydrogen-based energy systems (HESs) is the hydrogen back-up system (HBS) which...master thesis 2020

Geerdink, Daan (author)The energy mix of the future is likely to feature hydrogen due to its versatility. For effective use in energy storage, hydrogen has to be compressed. Conventional electrolysis of water and subsequent mechanical compression of hydrogen is an energy intensive process. A one-step conversion and compression can take place in a Electrochemical...master thesis 2020

Schouten, Bram (author)Today’s renewables, wind and solar power, have a fluctuating nature, making the grid less stable.However, with the increasing share of intermittent sources of renewable power, novel options have to be created to stabilize the power grid. One of these options is energy storage via the conversion of excess power to hydrogen, during periods of high...master thesis 2020

Boom, Senja (author)The energy transition is advancing rapidly, and the Dutch electricity grid is changing with it. Increasing shares of variable renewable energy sources create mismatches between electricity supply and demand. These mismatches create a need for large-scale energy storage. Existing large-scale energy storage technologies are pumped hydro energy...master thesis 2020

Eblé, Jeroen (author)In order to limit global warming to well below 2°C compared to pre-industrial temperatures, a lot still needs to happen. Carbon free hydrogen as an energy carrier can significantly reduce the CO<sub>2</sub> emissions of the entire energy system. In this report, a concept for a spatially efficient, initial hydrogen corridor in the European Union...master thesis 2020

Looijenga, Jidde (author)In 2015, the worlds first zero-emission sea-going ferry was launched in Norway. This ferry, MF Ampere, is powered by batteries and is sailing in an UNESCO World Heritage Site. In the Netherlands, the Wadden Sea is an UNESCO World Heritage Site with multiple ferry routes where the most recent ferries are sailing on natural gas to reduce emissions...master thesis 2020

Van de Graaf, Thijs (author), Overland, Indra (author), Scholten, D.J. (author), Westphal, Kirsten (author)While most hydrogen research focuses on the technical and cost hurdles to a full-scale hydrogen economy, little consideration has been given to the geopolitical drivers and consequences of hydrogen developments. The technologies and infrastructures underpinning a hydrogen economy can take markedly different forms, and the choice over which...journal article 2020

Riemersma, B. (author), Kunneke, R.W. (author), Reniers, G.L.L.M.E. (author), Correljé, A. (author)This paper argues that energy systems are becoming increasingly complex, and illustrates how new types of hazards emerge from an ongoing transition towards renewable energy sources. It shows that the energy sector relies heavily on risk assessment methods that are analytic, and that systemic methods provide important additional insights.Acase...journal article 2020

Zomer, Emma (author)Up until now, ammonia has primarily served the fertilizer and chemical industry with limited regards to carbon emissions. The hydrogen within the ammonia molecule is commonly produced using fossil fuels; this process accounts for 1,2 % of the global CO2 emissions. Rather than using fossils fuels, electrolysis with renewable energy could be used...master thesis 2019

MENON, Sachin (author)Hydrogen is a clean and carbon-free fuel and is considered a key element for the energy transition. Renewable power generation by solar and wind is increasing, requiring flexible operation to balance the load on the energy grid with the ability to rapidly adjust the output. Gas turbines with a combustion system for hydrogen operation offers a...master thesis 2019

Visman, Bineke (author)The Netherlands aims to reduce GHG emissions by 95% by 2050 compared to 1990. Hydrogen is seen as a potential energy carrier in the Netherlands by 2050. To what extent hydrogen will be implemented is unknown, because many applications are possible. Hydrogen shows potential for (1) carbon free feedstock for process industry, (2) carbon free...master thesis 2019

Björnsson, Olafur (author)Flame flashback is an intrinsic problem in lean premixed combustion. Due to higher flame speeds and lower quenching distances, hydrogen-rich fuel mixtures are especially prone to boundary layer flashback (BLF).
