Abstract
The carbon energy economy is gradually transforming into a sustainable energy economy, of which green hydrogen is regarded as one of the key players within it. However, although green hydrogen is spoken about extensively, significant production volumes and applications are yet to be introduced globally. The same holds for the Netherlands. Therefore, this thesis studied one theoretical production method for green hydrogen and assessed the potential market for it. In order to determine whether or not this technology would seem relevant at the moment of writing and in the near future. This thesis was done in collaboration with the French multinational Engie, who are a strong contender within the Dutch geothermal energy market and are also interested in renewable energy sources such as green hydrogen.
