To meet the most aggressive 2020 storage system cost target, $1/g, our model indicates that 420 metric tons per year (MT/y) production of alpha- alane is required. Our techno-economic model shows that under key assumptions most 20 DOE hydrogen storage system cost targets for low and medium power can be achieved using the electrochemical alane synthesis process. The experimental quantification of the product yields of candidate downstream chemical processes necessary to produce alpha- alane to complete the most cost-effective overall manufacturing process. A moving particle-bed reactor design was constructed and operated. The identification of critical, cost-saving design elements of the electrochemical cell and the quantification of the product yields of the primary electrochemical process. The construction of a comprehensive engineering techno-economic model to establish the production costs of alpha- alane by both electrochemical and chemical routes at scale.
We focused on three, principal development areas: 1. While alpha- alane has been clearly identified as a desirable hydrogen storage material, cost-effective means for its production and regeneration on a scale of use applicable to the industry have yet to be established.
Army WFC20 20W soldier power system that has successfully passed initial field trials with individual soldiers. Ardica has demonstrated the use of alpha- alane in a fuel-cell system for the U.S. This project was directed towards the further development of the Savannah River National Laboratory (SRNL) lab-scale electrochemical synthesis of the hydrogen storage material alpha- alane and Ardica Technologies-SRI International (SRI) chemical downstream processes that are necessary to meet DoE cost metrics and transition alpha- alane synthesis to an industrial scale.
