2. Agenda • Task 16 reports – overview & status • Status new tasks • Task 23: Small-scale reformers for on-site hydrogen supply • New Task: Near-term market routes to H2 by co-utilization of biomass as a renewable energy source with fossil fuels

3. Task 16 reports – overview & status • Completed and submitted: • IEA HIA Task 16: Hydrogen from Carbon-containing Materials – by advanced processes designed for minimal CO2 emissions • Task technical summary report • IEA HIA Task 16 A: Large-scale integrated Hydrogen Production/Decarbonisation • IEA HIA Task 16 B: Prospects for Hydrogen from Biomass • IEA HIA Task 16 C: Small-scale Reformers for Stationary Hydrogen Production with Minimum CO2- emissions • In progress: • IEA HIA Task 16 Management report • Available end November • Short comments on key learning

4. Key learning Task 16 – Industry participation

5. Key learning Task 16 – Industry participation Implications of industry participation • Own financing • Bring in-house knowhow • (Knowhow versus manhours) • Cost-sharing easier • Consideration of other(external) sourcing of funds • Near-term perspective for deliverables • No deep-dive in long term research • Higher customer or applicationorientation • Costs and performance becomesmore central in evaluation • Competitivity issues • Share development workto meet common ”challenge” • IPR may become an issue

6. Key learnings Task 16 – Production as key topic Production of hydrogen – current and medium term production: • Electrochemical processes • Distributed , small scale • Natural gas reforming • Distributed , small scale • Natural gas reforming or coal gasification • Central, medium – large scalew/CO2 handling • Biomass to hydrogen processes • Central or distributed, medium – large scale Primary 1: direct hydrogen prod. energy Resource carriers 2: electricity generation 3: water electrolysis 1 2 3 4: fuel cell Secondary 7 energy Hydrogen Electricity 5: hydrogen distribution carriers 4 6: electricity distribution 5 6 7: biomass distribution transportation, heating, industry, household End-use

7. Key learnings Task 16 – Production as key topic • Shared pathways • H2 can be produced from ~ all energy sources • Renewable pathways • CO2 lean pathways • ”Transitional” pathways • Pick any energy source for near/mid term production and there is already an IEA program or IA already dealing with it…… • Implications • Alt 1: Avoid production related issues in IEA HIAor • Alt. 2: Develop platform for collaboration with other IEA programs/IAs

8. Key learnings Task 16 • Focus is shifting from basic research to include mid-term deployment issues • More overlapping issues in HIA Tasks? • Consider organising relevant Tasks in subthemes, e.g. ”Production” • Industry involvement should be beneficial, but may need new approach (new rules) • Decison process • Financing • Production issues need a more conscious strategy for collaboration with other IEA IAs or programs, e.g • Common subtasks in new tasks • Organise common workshops • Involve representatives in a reference group or in select parts of Exco meetings

9. IEA HIA Task 23 Small-scale reformers for on-site hydrogen supply – update Petten, November 2006

10. From Exco meeting in Lyon June 2006 • Approval of proposed new Task • Next steps: • Task force could take care of the intermediate phase • Main task is to develop a proposal for the new organisation before ExCo meeting autumn 2006 • OA and Subtask leaders to be identified

11. Task 23: Small-scale reformers for on-site hydrogen supply Status • Meetings: • Progress meeting, Brussels, 7 June 2006 • Kick-off meeting, Hamburg, 23-24 October 2006 • Organisation • Confirmation of (most) participants • Proposal for Operating Agent (Exco approval) • Proposal for Subtask leaders (Exco approval) • Next steps • The PoW document will be slightly edited (to reflect status as new task and include some details on approach on work structure and meetings) • A work plan and meeting plan has been developed for the next period • Work tasks assigned to individual participants • Web page and communication (password access) established

12. Task 23 Participation/potential participation

13. Task 23 Organisation

14. Task 23: Proposed Operating Agent • Ingrid Schjølberg, PhD • Senior Scientist, SINTEF ICT, Applied Cybernetics • Main fields of competence: • Control and safety systems • Dynamic system analysis, dynamic simulation • Modelling for process control • Hydropower production • Small-scale hydrogen production • LNG production • Robotics

15. The SINTEF Group Business concept SINTEF sells research-based knowledge and related services to Norwegian and international clients. Facts SINTEF has 1800 employees, of whom about 1300 are based in Trondheim and 450 in Oslo. SINTEF also has offices in Bergen, Stavanger, Kristiansund, ÅlesundRaufoss, Mo i Rana, Hirtshals (Denmark) and Houston (USA). The SINTEF Group turnover in 2005: NOK 1.8 billion Contracts for industry and private sector account for >90 % of income (2005-12-31)

16. The SINTEF Group SINTEF’s Council SINTEF’s Board President Executive Vice Presidents Corporate Staff Research Divisions SINTEF Technology and Society SINTEF Materials and Chemistry SINTEF Health Research SINTEF ICT SINTEFPetroleum and Energy SINTEF Petroleum Research SINTEF Energy Research SINTEF Marine MARINTEK SINTEF Fisheries and Aquaculture SINTEF Buildingand Infrastructure SINTEF Holding

17. SINTEF in the World International contracts were responsible for 15% of our turnover in 2005

18. IEA HIA New task: Near market routes to hydrogen - by co-utilization of biomass as a renewable energy source with fossil fuels

19. From Exco meeting in Lyon June 2006 • Approval in principle of proposed new Task, subject to final participation and POW • Next steps: • Task force could take care of the intermediate phase • Main task is to develop a proposal for the new organisation before ExCo meeting November 2006 • OA to be identified • Subtask leaders to be identified/approved • Establish wider group of experts

20. Status November 2006 • A wider group of experts established, organisation and subtask leaders identified • PoW developed to include 4 subtasks • Agreement in principle reached with IEA Bioenergy for collaboration • However, Operating Agent still missing!

21. Four main subtasks • Co-gasification of biomass with fossil fuels • Near term stand-alone biomass gasification • Hydrogen market facilitation – based on distributed processing of biomass to new tradable intermediates • Roadmap – development and verification Source: Shell

22. Subtask – objectives • Co-gasification of biomass with fossil fuels • To identify and evaluate the most attractive and realistic process pathways towards a large-scale demonstration of biomass co-gasification with fossil fuels • Near term stand-alone biomass gasification • To evaluate the most attractive ways of utilising stand-alone biomass gasification technology in near-to-medium-term hydrogen markets • Hydrogen market facilitation – based on distributed processing of biomass to new tradable intermediates • To establish the potential for a renewable-based hydrogen supply chain based on the distributed production of a ”biomass carrier”, its commercial transport and use in centralisd gasification plants • Roadmap – development and verification • To develop a business-oriented roadmap for hydrogen produced with biomass as a renewable source

23. New Task 2X – Organisation and subtask leaders
