What is the hydrogen supply potential of Brunei Darussalam?

Source: Author (2020). As a whole, Brunei Darussalam has a hydrogen supply potential of 2.7 Mtoe, with fossil fuel– derived hydrogen accounting for 90% of the total.

How is hydrogen used in Brunei?

Hydrogen supply cost for power generation Hydrogen is also used in Brunei to generate power. Figure 3.17 illustrates a hydrogen supply system from offshore natural gas field to an inland power plant via steam methane reforming (SMR) plant in an industrial park. Existing pipelines are used to transport natural gas between the gas field and the SMR.

How far is Brunei from domestic hydrogen production site?

Brunei’s population and energy and fuel requirements are concentrated in Bandar Seri Begawan, the capital city. Therefore, the maximum distance from the domestic hydrogen production site to the domestic hydrogen demand site will be 200 km. Source: Ministry of Energy (2014).

Which country has opened a hydrogen demonstration plant in western Brunei Darussalam?

Brunei Darussalam, being a natural gas–rich country has opened a hydrogen demonstration plant in western Brunei Darussalam with the support of Japan.

How much will a hydrogen refuelling station cost in Brunei?

This study then suggests that if hydrogen demand will be more than 70,000 m3 per hour, hydrogen supply cost at a refuelling station of 1,000 Nm3/h will decline to around US$0.80/m3. It is much higher than existing gasoline and gas prices, but these prices are fully subsidised by the Brunei government.

Can Brunei make a shift to a hydrogen society?

Here the current “gray” production of hydrogen using steam reforming would even work to Brunei’s advantage. “Brunei can make the shift to a hydrogen society,” the ERIA report states. All it takes is the political will. The other elements are available in abundance.
