I-RAG yase-Austria yethule iphrojekthi yokuqala emhlabeni yokuhlola yokugcina i-hydrogen ngaphansi komhlaba endaweni eyayiyi-gas depot eRubensdorf.
Iphrojekthi yokuhlola ihlose ukukhombisa indima engayidlala i-hydrogen ekugcinweni kwamandla kwesizini. Iphrojekthi yokuhlola izogcina ama-cubic metres ayizigidi ezingu-1.2 e-hydrogen, alingana no-4.2 GWh kagesi. I-hydrogen egciniwe izokhiqizwa yiseli le-membrane ye-proton exchange membrane elingu-2 MW elinikezwa yi-Cummins, elizoqala ukusebenza kumthwalo wesisekelo ukukhiqiza i-hydrogen eyanele yokugcina; Kamuva kuphrojekthi, iseli lizosebenza ngendlela eguquguqukayo yokudlulisela amandla avuselelekayo amaningi kugridi.
Iphrojekthi yokuhlola ihlose ukuqedela ukugcinwa kwe-hydrogen nokusetshenziswa kwayo ekupheleni kwalo nyaka.
Amandla e-hydrogen ayinkampani ethwala amandla ethembisayo, engakhiqizwa ugesi wamanzi emithonjeni yamandla avuselelekayo njengomoya kanye namandla elanga. Kodwa-ke, ukuguquguquka kwamandla avuselelekayo kwenza isitoreji se-hydrogen sibe yinto ebalulekile ukuze kube nokunikezwa kwamandla okuzinzile. Isitoreji sesizini senzelwe ukugcina amandla e-hydrogen izinyanga eziningana ukuze kulinganiswe ukushintshashintsha kwesizini kwamandla avuselelekayo, okuyinselele ebalulekile ekuhlanganiseni amandla e-hydrogen ohlelweni lwamandla.
Iphrojekthi yokuhlola isitoreji se-hydrogen ngaphansi komhlaba ye-RAG iyisinyathelo esibalulekile ekufezeni lo mbono. Indawo yaseRubensdorf, eyayiyindawo yokugcina igesi e-Austria, inengqalasizinda evuthiwe netholakalayo, okwenza ibe yindawo ekhangayo yokugcina i-hydrogen. Iphrojekthi yokuhlola isitoreji se-hydrogen endaweni yaseRubensdorf izobonisa ukuthi kungenzeka yini ukugcinwa kwe-hydrogen ngaphansi komhlaba, okunamandla afinyelela kumamitha ayi-cubic ayizigidi ezingu-12.
Lo msebenzi wokuhlola usekelwa yi-Federal Ministry of Climate Protection, Environment, Energy, Transport, Innovation and Technology yase-Austria futhi uyingxenye yesu le-Hydrogen leKhomishini yaseYurophu, elihlose ukukhuthaza ukudalwa komnotho we-hydrogen waseYurophu.
Nakuba iphrojekthi yokuhlola inamandla okuvula indlela yokugcina i-hydrogen enkulu, kusenezinselele eziningi okufanele zinqotshwe. Enye yezinselele izindleko eziphezulu zokugcina i-hydrogen, okudingeka zincishiswe kakhulu ukuze kufezwe ukuthunyelwa okukhulu. Enye inselele ukuphepha kokugcinwa kwe-hydrogen, okuyigesi evuthayo kakhulu. Ukugcinwa kwe-hydrogen ngaphansi komhlaba kunganikeza ikhambi eliphephile nelingabizi kakhulu lokugcina i-hydrogen enkulu futhi kube ngesinye sezixazululo zalezi zinselele.
Ekuphetheni, iphrojekthi yokuhlola yokugcina i-hydrogen engaphansi komhlaba ye-RAG eRubensdorf iyisinyathelo esibalulekile ekuthuthukisweni komnotho we-hydrogen wase-Austria. Iphrojekthi yokuhlola izobonisa amandla okugcina i-hydrogen engaphansi komhlaba ukuze kugcinwe amandla esizini futhi ivule indlela yokusetshenziswa okukhulu kwamandla e-hydrogen. Nakuba kusenezinselele eziningi okumelwe zinqotshwe, iphrojekthi yokuhlola ngokungangabazeki iyisinyathelo esibalulekile esibheke ohlelweni lwamandla oluhlala isikhathi eside nolungenawo ama-carbon.
