Current status of water electrolysis for energy storage, grid balancing and Sector coupling via power-to-gas and power-to-liquids: A review
Renewable and Sustainable Energy Reviews, 2018Co-Authors: Alexander Buttler, Hartmut SpliethoffAbstract:Water electrolysis has the potential to become a key element in coupling the electricity, mobility, heating and Chemical Sector via Power-to-Liquids (PtL) or Power-to-Gas (PtG) in a future sustainable energy system. Based on an extensive market survey, discussions with manufacturers, project reports and literature, an overview of the current status of alkaline, PEM and solid oxide electrolysis on the way to large-scale flexible energy storage is presented. These main water electrolysis technologies were compared in terms of available capacity, nominal and part-load performance, flexibility (load range, load gradients, start-up time, stand-by losses) lifetime and investment costs. This review provides a basis of the parameters required and the necessary understanding of electrolysis fundamentals and technologies for a techno-economic analysis of water electrolysis-based concepts and an evaluation of PtG and PtL in energy system studies.

Water footprint sustainability assessment for the Chemical Sector at the regional level
Resources Conservation and Recycling, 2019Co-Authors: Fang Wang, Siqi Wang, Huixian You, Kathleen B. Aviso, Raymond R. Tan, Xiaoping JiaAbstract:Abstract Water resource management is an important consideration for water-intensive industries, such as the chlor-alkali Sector. Water footprint is a three-component measure of freshwater consumption over the life cycle of a product, and takes into account both direct and indirect water use. This work extends the water footprint concept for products by integrating water scarcity in geographic regions where the production takes place. A general framework for water footprint sustainability analysis (WFSA) for Chemical production chains is thus developed. WFSA combines the water scarcity index and water footprint, and is applied at the level of geographic regions. Two indicators are then proposed to assess the sustainability of the product and of the industrial Sector in a specific region of interest. Based on this framework, some policy recommendations are proposed to enhance the sustainability of the chlor-alkali Sector.

Development of a security vulnerability assessment process for the RAMCAP Chemical Sector.
Journal of hazardous materials, 2006Co-Authors: David A. Moore, Brad Fuller, Michael J. Hazzan, J. William JonesAbstract:Abstract The Department of Homeland Security (DHS), Directorate of Information Analysis & Infrastructure Protection (IAIP), Protective Services Division (PSD), contracted the American Society of Mechanical Engineers Innovative Technologies Institute, LLC (ASME ITI, LLC) to develop guidance on Risk Analysis and Management for Critical Asset Protection (RAMCAP). AcuTech Consulting Group (AcuTech) has been contracted by ASME ITI, LLC, to provide assistance by facilitating the development of Sector-specific guidance on vulnerability analysis and management for critical asset protection for the Chemical manufacturing, petroleum refining, and liquefied natural gas (LNG) Sectors. This activity involves two key tasks for these three Sectors: • Development of a screening to supplement DHS understanding of the assets that are important to protect against terrorist attack and to prioritize the activities. • Development of a standard security vulnerability analysis (SVA) framework for the analysis of consequences, vulnerabilities, and threats. This project involves the cooperative effort of numerous leading industrial companies, industry trade associations, professional societies, and security and safety consultants representative of those Sectors. Since RAMCAP is a voluntary program for ongoing risk management for homeland security, Sector coordinating councils are being asked to assist in communicating the goals of the program and in encouraging participation. The RAMCAP project will have a profound and positive impact on all Sectors as it is fully developed, rolled-out and implemented. It will help define the facilities and operations of national and regional interest for the threat of terrorism, define standardized methods for analyzing consequences, vulnerabilities, and threats, and describe best security practices of the industry. This paper will describe the results of the security vulnerability analysis process that was developed and field tested for the Chemical manufacturing Sector. This method was developed through the cooperation of the many organizations and the individuals involved from the Chemical Sector RAMCAP development activities. The RAMCAP SVA method is intended to provide a common basis for making vulnerability assessments and risk-based decisions for homeland security. Mr. Moore serves as the coordinator for the Chemical manufacturing, petroleum refining, and LNG Sectors for the RAMCAP project and Dr. Jones is the chief technology officer for ASME-ITI, LLC for RAMCAP.
