Our landmark testing has demonstrated that the patented AES technology has an ability to store excess renewable electricity as hydrogen in natural gas pipelines. Currently, there is NO cost-effective solution to recover this hydrogen for commercial usage.
Bench testing over a period of 5,000 hours has shown that the efficient extraction of hydrogen stored in natural gas pipelines is commercially viable with AES 'systems.
This both is a critical part of the solution to a major problem (grid instability) and creates a major new potential source of clean energy (hydrogen capture and storage) that heretofore has been discarded or uncapturable in an economic fashion.
In many jurisdictions globally, excess solar and wind power are leading to grid instability issues causing a lack of predictability and reliability for large-scale consumers of power. The current solution is “curtailment” of production, which is a very inefficient and expensive means of managing grid stability. The
Our solution, which applies worldwide, focuses on the “low hanging fruit” as AES technology can store this valuable excess electricity as hydrogen, within existing natural gas pipelines. “Recovering this hydrogen for reuse is a potentially multi-billion dollar market”, said
The hydrogen stored in the pipeline will be about 10% hydrogen content by volume without any significant modifications to existing infrastructure. Our advanced technology provides a cost-effective solution for extracting this “lost” hydrogen for higher value use in the emerging green transportation industry. The key value proposition offered by our technology is its ability to extract hydrogen at the point of use, thus eliminating the hydrogen transportation costs and associated safety issues.

AES is now scaling up its bench scale testing which will demonstrate its performance at a host site pipeline. Given results to date and the testing infrastructure already in place, PowerTap estimates that this technology can rapidly move towards commercialization, tapping into rapidly emerging multi-billion dollars markets of green hydrogen markets.
