Last week I participated in a business roundtable discussion in Toronto hosted by Canada’s Ontario Centres of Excellence (OCE).  The focus of the meeting was to bring together industry emitters and solution providers for a collective discussion about how to meet the province’s greenhouse gas emission reduction target of 37% below 1990 levels by the year 2030.

By necessity, the evolution of our fossil fuel industries and infrastructure has been largely predicated on geographic separation of extraction, refining/processing and point of use.  But is this a mandatory constraint in a carbon-less energy ecosystem based on renewable energy sources and hydrogen? 

The integration of proven aerospace technologies into a combined energy-water-heat recovery architecture have been routine since the mid-1960s at NASA.

Isotherm Energy is developing a suite of software tools to simulate, analyze and design systems based on its hydrogen energy storage architecture.  The software allows selection of various input energy sources, water sources, biomass and other inputs as shown in the screen shot below.

Could Isotherm Energy’s hydrogen energy storage architecture be the basis for Cities of the Sea? 

Matt Moran of Isotherm Energy will be teaching his popular engineering analysis and modeling course to the Navy Space and Naval Warfare Systems Command (SPAWAR) on April 4-6 in San Diego, CA.

This final post in the series introducing Isotherm Energy’s hydrogen energy storage architecture focuses on power generation and other output options from the system.
