“…The probable multi-sector HSCN optimization problem should consider the abovementioned research gap in their upcoming multi-sector HSCN for Qatar (see Figure 8). The development of novel tools and formulations for the integration of hydrogen production systems and supply chains can be drawn from the lessons and foundational elements of industrial ecology especially the design and optimization of Carbon-Hydrogen-Oxygen Symbiosis Networks (CHOSYNs) (Noureldin and El-Halwagi, 2015;El-Halwagi, 2017;Al-Fadhli et al, 2019;Juárez-García et al, 2019;Panu et al, 2019). The resulting formulation will be a mixed-integer non-linear programming optimization model that can readily include various objectives such as cost, environmental impact, safety, reliability, and resilience.…”

Low carbon hydrogen can be an excellent source of clean energy, which can combat global climate change and poor air quality. Hydrogen based economy can be a great opportunity for a country like Qatar to decarbonize its multiple sectors including transportation, shipping, global energy markets, and industrial sectors. However, there are still some barriers to the realization of a hydrogen-based economy, which includes large scale hydrogen production cost, infrastructure investments, bulk storage, transport & distribution, safety consideration, and matching supply-demand uncertainties. This paper highlights how the aforementioned challenges can be handled strategically through a multi-sector industrial-urban symbiosis for the hydrogen supply chain implementation. Such symbiosis can enhance the mutual relationship between diverse industries and urban planning by exploring varied scopes of multi-purpose hydrogen usage (i.e., clean energy source as a safer carrier, industrial feedstock and intermittent products, vehicle and shipping fuel, and international energy trading, etc.) both in local and international markets. It enables individual entities and businesses to participate in the physical exchange of materials, by-products, energy, and water, with strategic advantages for all participants. Besides, waste/by-product exchanges, several different kinds of synergies are also possible, such as the sharing of resources and shared facilities. The diversified economic base, regional proximity and the facilitation of rules, strategies and policies may be the key drivers that support the creation of a multi-sector hydrogen supply chain in Qatar.

“…Eco-industrial parks provide an opportunity for co-monetizing oxygen and hydrogen. While numerous approaches exist to design eco-industrial parks, the Carbon-Hydrogen-Oxygen Symbiosis Networks (CHOSYN) framework (Panu et al 2019;Noureldin and El-Halwagi 2015;Topolski et al 2018;El-Halwagi 2017b;Topolski et al 2019;Al-Fadhli et al 2019;Park et al 2020) provides an ideal framework for integrating hydrogen and oxygen into an EIP. For example, in a case where close to an existing industrial city, the approach proposed by Noureldin et al (Noureldin and El-Halwagi 2015) may be used to reduce the feedstock cost of the existing plants.…”

Power to gas (PtG) capitalizes on the free or low-cost power made available during frequent mismatches between power demand and power supply by converting water into hydrogen and oxygen via electrolysis. Current PtG projects vent the oxygen to the atmosphere and utilize the hydrogen for myriad purposes. Although oxygen has relatively little value when compared to hydrogen on a mass basis, the value of oxygen produced via electrolysis is significant compared to the value of the hydrogen due to the composition of water. This work presents a systematic methodology for designing a PtG project which co-utilizes hydrogen and oxygen to manufacture hydrogen and chemicals via integration with the natural gas infrastructure. A case study is developed and solved to demonstrate the applicability of the proposed methodology. The results of the case study show that significant value may be added by utilizing oxygen and the natural gas infrastructure.

“…There has recently been a shift to integrate multiple resources simultaneously, which has led to the introduction of many novel optimization approaches. One proposed solution to this was a higher-level integration approach to C-H-O symbiosis (Noureldin and El-Halwagi, 2015), and this was expanded to design networks with minimized carbon dioxide emissions (Panu et al, 2019). Al-Mohannadi et al (2020) developed a method that integrates natural gas, energy and carbon dioxide.…”

Growing climate change concerns in recent years have led to an increased need for carbon dioxide emission reduction. This can be achieved by implementing the concept of circular economy, which promotes the practice of resource conservation, emission minimization, and the maintenance of sustainable revenue streams. A considerable amount of carbon dioxide emissions is a consequence of stationary sources from industrial processes. These emissions can be reduced using carbon capture utilization and storage (CCUS) or reduced at source by using emission free renewable resources. The method developed within this work uses mixed integer linear programming (MILP) to design sustainable clusters that convert seawater (including waste brine), air, and waste carbon dioxide emissions to value-added products with sunlight as the main energy source. In this way, circular economy is employed to minimize fresh resource consumption and maximize material reuse. The potential of this work is demonstrated through a case study, which shows that an industrial park may be profitable while adhering to strict emission and material constraints.
