“…Research on green hydrogen overseas is extensive. One example is wind-driven hydrogen research in Norway, which argues for integrating hydrogen-driven transport [20]. Our research does not include hydrogen-driven transport, but this may improve the viability if this proves to be viable.…”

The energy transition to wind and solar opens up opportunities for green hydrogen as wind and solar generation tend to bring electricity prices down to very low levels. We evaluate whether green hydrogen can integrate well with wind and solar PVs to improve the South Australian electricity grid. Green hydrogen can use membrane electrolysis plants during periods of surplus renewable energy. This hydrogen can then be electrified or used in industry. The green hydrogen system was analysed to understand the financial viability and technical impact of integrating green hydrogen. We also used system engineering techniques to understand the system holistically, including the technical, social, environmental, and economic impacts. The results show opportunities for the system to provide seasonal storage, grid firming, and reliability services. Financially, it would need changes to electricity rules to be viable, so at present, it would not be viable without subsidy.

“…While the Ten Point Plan, together with the Hydrogen Strategy, promise to back CCUS alongside a ramping up of renewable energy capacity, conflicting narratives and inconsistent price signals between production pathways may act as a barrier to accelerating a clear, strategic pathway towards establishing a hydrogen economy. This is especially true if "a rhetoric of competition" exists between blue and green hydrogen [322], which could derail the impetus of a twin-track pathway.…”

Post Covid-19 pandemic and the Ukrainian war is having a significant impact on energy systems worldwide, faltering investments and threatening to throttle the expansion of primary clean energy technologies even in the case of a well-structured and managed energy system, such as Norway. This unprecedented crisis requires deeper analyses of different national energy systems. Hence, providing and highlighting needed interventions and improvements in the actual energy system in the case of Norway is crucial. The focus of this study is to analyze demand-side in households, industry, and transport sectors. LEAP model, a powerful demand-side energy system analysis tool, was used to conduct the analysis. The energy demand projections for 2050 are estimated firstly by considering a population growth rate of 0.8%. Secondly, Norway has set itself an ambitious target of decreasing GHG emissions in 2030 by 55% compared to 1990 levels and 90–95% by the year 2050. It aims the diversification of the overall national energy system. From the perspective of climate change mitigation, EVs include an attractive option, other sustainable fuel sources such as H2, biofuel mixed with diesel, the use of excess heat to cover households' heating demand supplied by industry, and integration of large-scale heat pumps driven by RES during off-peak demand is applied. Energy demand projections are uncertain, and the main goal is to show how different scenario projections up to 2050 affect the energy system of Norway, showing that the combined global warming potential (GWP) will be around 28.9 million metric CO2 from 66 million metric CO2 tones released in the current account scenario.
