Low-Carbon Hydrogen Production in Industrial Clusters

Research output: Chapter in Book/Report/Conference proceedingChapterpeer-review

Abstract

Hydrogen has gained a huge hype as future fuel that might aid in the transformation to a zero-carbon energy system. In this work, a dynamic model of green hydrogen production is proposed to assess the trade-offs between the economic and environmental impacts of incorporated green hydrogen in energy-intensive chemical processes. The model considers the intermittency of renewable energy sources and their effect on the sizing of the renewable energy and hydrogen production units, as well as on the size required for H2 storage. The validity of the model was tested in the decarbonization of two energy-intensive processes namely, ammonia and methanol. The results outputs clearly show the trade-offs between the economic and environmental performances at various decarbonization targets based on hourly solar availability from a time horizon of one year.
