“…at least the last three recession periods in the United States – those of 1990-91, 1980-82 and 1974-75 – were preceded by spikes in the price of oil.” Alan Greenspan, June 28, 2001

OAK RIDGE NATIONAL LABORATORYU. S. DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY

Using world energy scenarios and methods of risk analysis, we have analyzed the timing of the peaking of conventional oil supplies and a transition to unconventional supplies.

TAFV Project Identified and ModeledKey Transitional “Barriers”

• Vehicle and fuel infrastructure requirements large, and not explicitly coordinated

• Fuel Availability− Alternative fuels rarely available (at filling stations)

• Scale economies:− Initial vehicle costs high (at low production scales)

• Limited vehicle model diversity− New tech available on only a few vehicle makes

• Possible Learning from production experience• Slow capital stock turnover

OAK RIDGE NATIONAL LABORATORYU. S. DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY

Working together with teams from other National Laboratories, academia and industry, ORNL is helping to create analytical tools for understanding the transition to a hydrogen economy.

• In what scenarios (under what conditions) will the hydrogen economy succeed?

• How do individual technologies affect the transition to and functioning of the system?

• How do alternative energy sources affect the transition to and functioning of the system?

• How will the evolution of the system over time and geographically affect costs and benefits?

• What is the role for policy in the transition and maintenance of the hydrogen economy?

• What are the costs and benefits (including the global macroeconomic effects) of a hydrogen economy?

17

OAK RIDGE NATIONAL LABORATORYU. S. DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY

Approach: HyTrans applies optimization methods to construct an economic model of the hydrogen transition.• Represents interdependent decisions of hydrogen suppliers,

vehicle manufacturers & consumers from 2000 to 2050.

• Finds competitive market solutions by maximizing producers’ profits and consumers’ welfare.

• Decision-making to 2050 can be based on perfect foresight, myopia, or other expectation models.

• Version 1 is limited in scope. − Only 3 production technologies

• Centralized SMR• Forecourt SMR• Forecourt Electrolysis

− Considers only LDV H2 demand− National, aspatial market structure

Improving our representation of fuel availability value to vehicle owner, via spatially explicit analysis (side-studies)

• UC Davis using urban models to measuring increased trip distance and travel time for limited local availability.

• The value of availability in non-local markets and other regions needs a rigorous logical framework.

• Availability in linear markets needs a rigorous formulation. Marc Melaina (U. Mich) addressing.

Hard problems remain for demand modeling:

• How to determine the value of availability in other regions?− Own region− Intercity− Other regions

• How to explore the unique value of the hydrogen fuel cell vehicle?

• How to design the most competitive vehicles?
