Objectives The academic consultant team will review the HySCALE LOHC Feasibility report (NIA_SGN0164), focusing on:Inter-seasonal storage of hydrogenthe argument for and techno/economics of inter-seasonal storage for UK gas networks.the recommendation for UK Gas Networks to follow a multi-pronged approach the barriers and technology developments influencing the potential viability of LOHC scale for inter-Seasonal storageThe appropriateness of the scale of the proposed 20kg/day demonstration system, covering: cost, feasibility and timeframeGeneral feasibility study reviewTechnical: review carriers and examine techno economics of all use cases.Commercial: Review the market opportunities of industrial and SIU applications of LOHC, and review the business model and value chainLegal: review IP considerations Imperial College London will provide a rigorous and impartial academic advisory service to the Hyscale project.Imperial College London will meet with the project consortium during the course of the review in order to ask questions of clarification and to understand the content of the Phase 1 Feasibility Study in more detail and the intended use of this feasibility study in the stage gating of the proposed demonstration project under Phase 2. The results of the review will then be communicated through:A summary of key comments and review issues.Detailed comments applied directly to the Phase 1 feasibility report: andA teleconference to discuss comments. The objective of this project is to provide a rigorous and impartial academic review of the HyScale LOHC Feasibility Study (NIA_SGN0164) completed in March 2021.
Abstract The project will engage Imperial College London to conduct a rigorous and impartial academic review of the HyScale LOHC Feasibility Study (NIA_SGN0164) completed in March 2021. The HyScale project is investigating a range of hydrogen carrier technologies, and their role within a sustainable hydrogen economy
