Design of optimization model for a hydrogen supply chain under emission constraints - A case study of Germany

What is needed to deliver carbon-neutral heat using hydrogen and CCS?

“…[17][18][19] A large number of studies have further explored the design of HSCs in various geographical contexts for an extensive array of applications. [20][21][22][23][24][25][26][27][28][29][30][31][32][33][34] To the best of the authors' knowledge, Moreno-Benito et al 33 is the only study that has considered spatially-explicit, simultaneous development of both H 2 and CO 2 value chains to support the decarbonisation of the transportation system. Similarly, little attention has been paid to the development of HSCs for the decarbonisation of heat as an energy vector with only a single publication by Samsatli and Samsatli to the authors' knowledge.…”

Social cost-benefit assessment as a post-optimal analysis for hydrogen supply chain design and deployment: Application to Occitania (France)

“…In that context, the deployment of hydrogen supply chains (HSCs) for market penetration of FCVs has raised a lot of interest. A lot of studies have addressed several issues related to HSC design and deployment ( Agnolucci et al, 2013 ;Almansoori and Betancourt-Torcat, 2016 ;Almansoori and Shah, 2012 ;Almaraz et al, 2014 ;Gondal and Sahir, 2013 ;Guillén-Gosálbez et al, 2010 ;Han et al, 2013 ;Hugo et al, 2005 ;Kamarudin et al, 2009 ;Sabio et al, 2010 ;Samsatli et al, 2016 ;Woo et al, 2016 ) to find the most efficient HSC network taking into account several criteria, that are mainly based on techno-economic consideration, such as the levelized hydrogen cost and environmental assessment with Global Warming Potential (GWP) impact as a key indicator and, in a more systemic way with Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) Hugo et al, 2005 ) as well as a risk index Han et al, 2013 ;Sabio et al, 2010 ).…”

Modeling hydrogen networks for future energy systems: A comparison of linear and nonlinear approaches

“…Moreno-Benito et al [12], in turn, consider different hydrogen production options for evaluating cost-optimal hydrogen infrastructure development in the UK through 2100, neglecting a temporal resolution. Almansoori and Betancourt-Torcat [13], as well as Ochoa Bique and Zondervan [14], compute a nationwide hydrogen supply chain for Germany, in which they do not take hydrogen pipelines and temporal resolution into account. Weber and Papageorgiou [15], meanwhile, minimize network costs with consideration of hydraulics in hydrogen pipelines.…”

“…As a result, the pipeline network is designed for avoiding compressor stations for recompression in the entire network. Meanwhile, energy system optimization models with spatial resolution usually feature regionalization with a simplification of transport options for "region-to-region" energy transport [8,10,12,13,15]. This assumption highly simplifies the pipeline network, especially for low numbers of regions.…”
