Step 1:
Technology analysis and conceptual liquefaction process assessment
- Technology overview
- Boundary conditions and duty specifications
- Screening and pre-selection of large-scale liquefaction concepts and alternatives for central sub-systems
Step 2a: Process optimisation
- Detailed process design/optimisation of large-scale process
- Component selection and improvement
- Improved ortho-para conversion
- Assessment of the pre-optimised design against targets and criteria, including efficiency
- Final design optimisation
Step 2b: Whole chain assessment
- Scenario development for liquid hydrogen usage
- Hazard and risk assessment and mitigation measures
- Life cycle and economic assessment
Step 3:
Planning and preparation of a
large-scale demonstration
- Definition of a next-generation liquefier based on optimised process
- Logistical and geographic issues
- Plan for demonstration
Results
- Functional schemes of promising highly efficient large-scale hydrogen liquefaction processes
- Targets, criteria and boundary conditions
Results
- Optimised process scheme and technical design of selected processes
- Liquid hydrogen implementation scenario and whole chain assessment benchmarks
Results
- Strategy and script for large-scale demonstration and options for sites
