Wind power coupled to hydrogen (H2) production is an interesting strategy to reduce power curtailment and to provide clean fuel for decarbonizing agricultural activities. However, such implementation is challenging for several reasons, including uncertainties in wind power availability, seasonalities in agricultural fuel demand, capital-intensive gas storage systems, and high specific investment costs of small-scale electrolysers. To investigate whether on-site H2 production could be a feasible alternative to conventional diesel farming, a model was built for dynamic simulations of H2 production from wind power driven by the fuel demand of a cereal farm located on the island of Gotland, Sweden. Different cases and technological scenarios were considered to assess the effects of future developments, H2 end-use, as well as production scale on the levelised- and farmers’ equivalent annual costs. In a single-farm application, H2 production costs varied between 21.20–14.82 €/kg. By sharing a power-to-H2 facility among four different farms of 300-ha each, the specific investment costs could be significantly decreased, resulting in 28% lower H2 production costs than when facilities are not shared. By including delivery vans as additional H2 consumers in each farm, costs of H2 production decreased by 35% due to the higher production scale and more distributed demand. However, in all cases and technological scenarios assessed, projected diesel price in retailers was cheaper than H2. Nevertheless, revenues from leasing the land to wind power developers could make H2 a more attractive option even in single-farm applications as early as 2020. Without such revenues, H2 is more competitive than diesel where power-to-H2 plants are shared by at least two farms, if technological developments predicted for 2030 come true. Also, out of 20 different cases assessed, nine of them showed a carbon abatement cost lower than the current carbon tax in Sweden of 110 €/tCO2, which demonstrate the potential of power-to-H2 as an effective strategy to decarbonize agricultural systems.

瑞典低碳农业需求驱动的小型绿色氢生产的技术经济评估

结合氢气(H 2)生产的风能是减少功率消耗并为农业活动脱碳提供清洁燃料的有趣策略。然而,由于多种原因,这种实施具有挑战性,包括风能可用性的不确定性,农业燃料需求的季节性,资本密集型气体存储系统以及小型电解槽的高特定投资成本。为了研究现场H 2生产是否可以替代常规柴油机养殖,建立了用于H 2动态模拟的模型由瑞典哥得兰岛的谷物农场的燃料需求驱动的风力发电。考虑了不同的情况和技术方案,以评估未来发展,H 2最终用途以及生产规模对平准化和农民等效年成本的影响。在单农场应用中,H 2的生产成本在21.20-14.82€/ kg之间。通过共享电源,以-H 2中的每一个300公顷的四个不同的养殖场设施,具体的投资成本可能是显著下降,导致28%降低^ h 2时设施不能共享比生产成本。通过在每个农场中将送货车作为额外的H 2消费者,H 2的成本由于规模扩大和需求分散,产量下降了35%。但是,在评估的所有情况和技术方案中,零售商的预计柴油价格都比H 2便宜。然而,从租赁土地,以风电开发商可能使^ h收入2即使在单场应用更具吸引力的选择,因为早在2020年没有这样的收入,H 2比柴油,其中功率到-H更具竞争力2种植物如果预测到2030年的技术发展成真,则至少由两个农场共享。此外,在评估的20个不同案例中,其中9个案例显示的碳减排成本低于瑞典目前的碳税110€/ tCO 2,证明了H 2功率作为将农业系统脱碳的有效策略的潜力。
