On the impact of temporal-correlation requirements and downstream industrial flexibility on the optimal design and costs for onsite electrolytic hydrogen production

Currently, hydrogen consumption is heavily concentrated within larger inflexible industrial applications, where it is produced onsite for further downstream processing. Considering traditional production pathways have a high emission intensity, electrolytic hydrogen production could prove an essential decarbonization pathway for existing,...

Unlocking the potential of the Dutch hydrogen economy

The Netherlands is looking to decarbonize its economy and replace natural gas from Groningen and Russia with different energy carriers. Dutch government has been mainly stimulating renewable electricity production, CO2 capture and storage (CCS) and sustainable heat generation (RVO, 2022) to address these challenges. While these technologies are...

A Socio-Technical Evaluation Method for Industrial Hydrogen and CO2 Pipelines: A Case Study on the Industry in North Rhine-Westphalia

The Port of Rotterdam is developing a hydrogen and CO2 pipeline bundle for industry in NRW. By applying a Multi-Criteria Analysis to this case, a model is created that evaluates this pipeline bundle against the criteria of the industry in North Rhine-Westphalia. The system analysis is used as the basis for the model, industry objectives are used...
