Tiivistelmä
Hydrogen has emerged as a key element in renewable energy and energy efficiency, enabling significant emission reductions and promoting environmentally friendly energy supply. As hydrogen's role in the energy sector increases, so does the demand for various storage solutions. This thesis focuses on exploring the new storage needs that the hydrogen sector and its synthesis products can present for U-Cont Oy.
Hydrogen is a promising fuel produced from renewable energy sources through methods such as water electrolysis and steam reforming. It offers an efficient means of storing and transporting energy; however, its handling and storage require careful planning and specialized solutions. This work examines hydrogen production, storage, and the associated challenges, with a particular emphasis on the storage tanks used for hydrogen. The study evaluates various types of storage solutions suitable for hydrogen and considers the potential for U-Cont to manufacture these tanks. The goal is to identify the needs and challenges related to hydrogen storage and transfer in applications such as industry and transportation.
Additionally, the thesis investigates the storage requirements and considerations for ammonia, methane, and methanol, which are key synthesis products of hydrogen. Efficient production and storage of these substances are crucial for the development of a hydrogen economy. The aim is to determine potential new storage needs in these processes that could create opportunities for U-Cont's product range or product development, as well as the requirements that their production entails.
