Surface investigations of steels treated under hydrogen salt cavern boundary conditions

Large-scale hydrogen storage is a crucial part of the energy transition. The usage of salt caverns has a great potential in this process, but there are open questions regarding the construction’s lifetime which need to be investigated prior to their implementation. In this work, potential construction steels were studied. The conditions in a...

Costs competitive large-scale green hydrogen production in North-Africa in 2030: How can a system that produces green hydrogen and ammonia be optimized to minimize the levelized cost and will this system be able to compete with fossil fuel based production in 2030?

The European Green Deal states that it wants to develop 40 GW of electrolyzer capacity by 2030 in North Africa to combat climate change. Using PV power as the primary energy source, a system is designed that can produce green hydrogen and ammonia to investigate how the location and the capacity of the components can be optimized to produce at...

Sines H2 Hub: A cost perspective of the transmission and storage infrastructure of the Sines green hydrogen hub

The Sines H2 Hub aims to take advantage of Portugal’s solar resources and push for a green hydrogen hub centred in Sines. To do so, a 1GW electrolyser is expected to be built by 2030. The gas produced, which will have the same production profile as the solar irradiance, can be injected in the gas grid, distributed by truck or shipped to the...
