Powerplant cost per kw - hydrogen power generation
Powerplant cost per kw - hydrogen power generation
(OP)
Hi,
I am working on a feasability study for a client who has hydrogen as a by-product of his process.
What he would like to do is use the hydrogen to generate electricity, wich would likely be in the 2000 kW range.
Now, i would require the cost per kW of different kind of powerplant he could use (up to now, i figured a gas turbine and a steam turbine as possibilities, there may be others feel free to enlighten me)
Thanks in advance!

Another use for H2, is to combine with N2, to make NH4.

The thing with this is that since hydrogen is a reject of the process of my client, it is worth exploring options to use it for something.
We contacted several fuel cell manufacturer already and they were not interested so this way of doing things was not available.
The ICE idea was looked for too, no manufacturer would commit to it.
That gives you and idea why we are looking at turbines and/or boilers.

How much H2 gas do you have?

Did you try to contact Bloom Energy in Sunnyvale CA? They have some working Fuel Cells available that seem to go to great pains to extract H2 from natural gas, seems to be a no-brainer to use some that is already available.
