Return of the industries as new green hubs: Introducing circular hydrogen landscapes for energy systems in northwest Europe

The Earth is experiencing an increase in global surface temperature due to a significant amount of greenhouse gas emissions, mainly caused by the production of fossil-fuel-based energy using non-renewable resources. The heavy industries, predominantly comprising refineries, are the primary contributors to these emissions. As the primary source...

Power-to-gas efficiency of a hydrogen back-up system governed by interruptible sources and services

Fossil fuel based energy systems are the main contributor to global warming. As new regulations come into place, a transition towards a more sustainable energy system must be realised. Hydrogen usage is regarded as the key enabler of such systems. The heart of these hydrogen-based energy systems (HESs) is the hydrogen back-up system (HBS) which...

The Blue Banana As A Future Hydrogen Corridor

In order to limit global warming to well below 2°C compared to pre-industrial temperatures, a lot still needs to happen. Carbon free hydrogen as an energy carrier can significantly reduce the CO₂ emissions of the entire energy system. In this report, a concept for a spatially efficient, initial hydrogen corridor in the European Union...

Future Energy Carriers in Office Buildings: Techno-economic assessment of integrated energy and mobility systems

In the energy transition the expansion of the amount of renewable energy resources requires new methods for the design of energy systems. To deal with intermittent energy production, different energy technologies and solutions are in development. Hydrogen is a main candidate for this goal. Using Fuel Cell or Battery Electric Vehicles as flexible...
