Economic analysis of a renewable hydrogen supply chain between Northern Africa and the European Union: An optimization-based study towards the economic feasibility of renewable hydrogen based on a case study using currently available technologies

The European Union has set out to become carbon neutral by 2050. To reach this goal, the fossil-fuel-dominated energy system must be transformed into a low-carbon renewable-based energy system. One method proposed to reduce fossil-fuel dependence is to establish a renewable hydrogen supply chain between Africa and the European Union. This work...
