Vätgas, energisystem och infrastruktur i norra Skandinavien och Finland − förstudie (Swedish)
Abstract [sv]

Denna förstudie har genomförts av RISE Research Institute of Sweden och Luleå tekniska universitet tillsammans med ytterligare 24 aktörer verksamma inom vätgasenergisystem i norra Sverige. Aktörer och planerade investeringar har kartlagts via intervjuer inom och utanför projektkonsortiet, och tekno-ekonomiska samt regulatoriska analyser har genomförts. Studiens syfte var att analysera förutsättningar, möjligheter och hinder för en vätgasinfrastruktur i norra Skandinavien och Finland. Studien har gett en uppdaterad bild av nuläget och av de projekt som planeras i regionen, och det befintliga och kommande regelverket för vätgasvärdekedjan har summerats. Vidare har en tekno-ekonomisk analys av vätgasledningar och konsekvenser för elnätet genomförts, samt SWOT-analyser för de olika alternativen. Slutligen har ytterligare forskning och aktiviteter som krävs för att komma vidare mot ett energisystem med vätgas föreslagits. Resultaten visar att elnät och vätgasledningar kan komplettera varandra på ett energi- och kostnadseffektivt sätt. Huvudslutsatsen är därför att stora och snabba satsningar bör fokuseras på att utveckla ett hybridsystem för att undvika onödiga inlåsningseffekter. Flera luckor har identifierats i dagens lagstiftning, därför rekommenderas en utredning av lagstiftningen kring vätgassystem. Vidare krävs en mångdubbling av ny förnybar elproduktion i elområde 1 för att täcka behoven som förutspås i industrin.

Abstract [en]

This prestudy has been carried out by RISE Research Institute of Sweden and Luleå University of Technology together with additional 24 stakeholders active in a hydrogen energy system in northern Sweden. Actors and investments have been mapped via interviews within and outside of the project consortium, and techno-economic and regulatory analyses have been carried out. The purpose of the prestudy was to analyse the conditions, opportunities and obstacles for a hydrogen infrastructure in northern Scandinavia and Finland. The study has provided an updated picture of current status and projects planned in the region, and existing and upcoming regulations for the hydrogen value chain have been summarised. Furthermore, a techno-economic analysis of hydrogen pipelines and consequences for the electricity grid has been carried out, as well as SWOT analyses. Finally, the study has suggested further research required to progress towards a hydrogen energy system. The results show that the power and hydrogen grids can complement each other in an energy and cost-effective way. The main conclusion is therefore that great and accelerated efforts should be focused on developing a hybrid system to avoid unnecessary lock-in effects. Several gaps have been identified in today's legislation, hence, an investigation of the legislation surrounding hydrogen systems is recommended. Furthermore, a multi-fold increase in new renewable electricity generation is required in electricity zone 1 to cover the projected needs of the industry.
