The Weighty Challenge of Importing the Lightest Element: A techno-economic assessment of the dynamics between the first developing green hydrogen importing supply chains and domestic production by 2030

Green hydrogen is anticipated to be pivotal in the decarbonisation of global energy systems. For the Netherlands, both domestic production and imports of green hydrogen are believed to be needed for effective decarbonisation. Yet, significant uncertainty surrounds the cost discrepancy between domestic productions and initial imports, largely...

Shipping Renewable Hydrogen Carriers: A study on the impact of shipping renewable hydrogen carriers and using those as a fuel on, the ship design, the different powertrain configurations, and the cost of transported hydrogen

Hydrogen enables renewable energy storage, and hydrogen carriers can allow easier transportation. This research was initiated to get more insight into transporting renewable hydrogen carriers (RHCs) by ship, which is one of the transportation options. The research was conducted in three steps. First, a system description with a literature study...

A Techno-Economic Evaluation of Green Ammonia

Up until now, ammonia has primarily served the fertilizer and chemical industry with limited regards to carbon emissions. The hydrogen within the ammonia molecule is commonly produced using fossil fuels; this process accounts for 1,2 % of the global CO2 emissions. Rather than using fossils fuels, electrolysis with renewable energy could be used...
