Hydrogen is here to stay, and in order to make it a conceivable option, its production, transportation and, very importantly, efficient consumption has to be taken into account. Combustion engines will play an important role, and Bowman’s TorqIQ® is here to enable this conversion efficiently. Bowman’s Commercial Director, Dante Neto, shares more details…
By now, it is well known now that, within the power sector, Hydrogen is not just a buzzword that will eventually disappear. The further development and correct application of the technology related to it will deliver substantial support to reducing the carbon footprint in various sectors and be a key path to energy independence and security.
Hydrogen is very flexible, potentially being used for energy storage as well as a non-fossil fuel with internal combustion engines and fuel cells.
On the storage element, it could bring numerous benefits due to its abundance on Earth, no rare metals mining requirements, no region-specific origin and as a non-degrading solution; meaning that it would provide as much power on day one as it would years later.
When looking into internal combustion, a technology that is very much present in our daily lives from our natural gas-powered boiler at our homes to our diesel/petrol car engines and even airplanes, the possibility of converting large quantities of these systems to non-fossil fuels is as exciting as it is challenging.
Globally, efforts are made in respect of Hydrogen production and transport in a carbon neutral way, and for that, various factors, outside of simply using the Hydrogen have to be considered. For example, we are aiming for “green” Hydrogen, which is Hydrogen produced via non fossil fuel energy resources, but what about its transportation, storage and, very importantly, its efficient consumption? All have to be taken into account when analysing the real carbon footprint and, as you may have realised by now, combustion engines can play a pivotal role within this.
Engines have been consuming fossil fuels for decades and in order to enable them to switch into a non-fossil fuel, like Hydrogen, various aspects have to be considered and implemented, including the very important correct mix of air and non-fossil fuel to achieve the required efficiency to make it a conceivable option.
Bowman, with its TorqIQ® technology, enables digital control of power flow into and out of traditional turbochargers and compressors, delivering the power density required by the engines and fuel cells to work efficiently with hydrogen.
In order to make this transition happen, it is clear that a multidisciplinary group of innovative companies, like Bowman, is required and with that in mind, we are pleased to announce that we have joined the U.K. Hydrogen Fuel Cell Association, launched in the summer of 2010, it is the oldest and largest U.K. association active in this space and is dedicated to supporting the entire value chain, covering:
- All fuel cell types and applications
- The full fuel cell supply chain (from research into material science through to systems integration and distribution)
- Hydrogen production and storage
- Hydrogen infrastructure
- Other issues around the delivery, storage and use of associated fuels
We will continuously participate in various events and workshops groups to share ideas, support ongoing projects and be an active member of this fundamental topic and community.
