“…For the case of life cycle costs, design costs containing feasibility and improvements of projects are not considered. In terms of feasibility costs, both systems are renewable and the selected region has high potential for each case, according to the UNIDO project [23]. Project costs might be considered approximately the same for both technologies since the same land is selected for their applications.…”

“…One of the main reasons of enormous greenhouse gas emissions are considered as the emissions from the maritime application as well as the self-electricity need of an island, known as hydrogen islands [22], can be one of the solutions for decarbonizing maritime transportation by means of hydrogen refueling stations. In this study, Bozcaada Island is chosen not only to be the potential of a smart city but also to be the first hydrogen island of Turkey, according to the United Nations Industrial Development Organization (UNIDO) project [23]. Bozcaada island has significant solar energy potential, 308.0 cal/cm 2 sunshine radiation per day, and 7.5 h sunshine duration per day, as well as wind energy potential with 8.4 m/s average wind speed at 50 m [24].…”

Energy production without destroying the environment has been one of the most crucial issues for people living in today’s world. In order to analyze whole environmental and/or economic impacts of the energy production process, life cycle assessment (LCA) and life cycle cost (LCC) are widely used. In this study, two distinct renewable energy systems are assessed. First, a land-based wind farm, which has been operating in Bozcaada Island since 2000, is compared to a proposed solar photovoltaic power plant in terms of Energy Pay-Back Time (EPBT) periods and greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions and life cycle cost. The energy production process including the recycling phase evaluated “from cradle to grave” using GaBi software for both cases. All scenarios are compared by considering different impact categories such as global warming potential (GWP), acidification potential (AP), and eutrophication potential (EP). Following this, levelized unit cost to produce 1 MWh electricity (LUCE) is calculated for both systems. This study revealed that LCA and LCCA are useful and practical tools that help to determine drawbacks and benefits of different renewable energy systems considering their long-term environmental and economic impacts. Our findings show that onshore wind farms have a number of benefits than proposed photovoltaic power plants in terms of environmental and cost aspects.

“…The early applications of PEMFC power systems in the maritime sector include: A 12m-long yacht with a maximum cruising range of 225 km at a speed of 8 knots, which utilized 6 kg of hydrogen stored in three storage tanks at a pressure of 300 bar, and was powered by four 1.2 kW PEMFC modules combined with nine lead-gel batteries, generating a total power output of up to 20 kW [93]; a canal boat using the hydrogen stored in a fivecylinder metal hydride storage system, powered by a 5 kW PEMFC module together with a lead-acid battery [94]; and a small boat with a maximum operating time of 10 h at a maximum speed of 7 knots, which utilized 5 kg of hydrogen onboard and was powered by an 8 kW PEMFC module [95,96]. However, the installed power of these applications is usually less than 10 kW [9,26].…”

Fuel cells as clean power sources are very attractive for the maritime sector, which is committed to sustainability and reducing greenhouse gas and atmospheric pollutant emissions from ships. This paper presents a technological review on fuel cell power systems for maritime applications from the past two decades. The available fuels including hydrogen, ammonia, renewable methane and methanol for fuel cells under the context of sustainable maritime transportation and their pre-processing technologies are analyzed. Proton exchange membrane, molten carbonate and solid oxide fuel cells are found to be the most promising options for maritime applications, once energy efficiency, power capacity and sensitivity to fuel impurities are considered. The types, layouts and characteristics of fuel cell modules are summarized based on the existing applications in particular industrial or residential sectors. The various research and demonstration projects of fuel cell power systems in the maritime industry are reviewed and the challenges with regard to power capacity, safety, reliability, durability, operability and costs are analyzed. Currently, power capacity, costs and lifetime of the fuel cell stack are the primary barriers. Coupling with batteries, modularization, mass production and optimized operating and control strategies are all important pathways to improve the performance of fuel cell power systems.

“…There are already several ongoing or proposed demonstrations of the integrated hydrogen systems on islands all over the world. Table 46.1 summarizes studied, planned, and completed hydrogen installations on islands [4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14][15][16][17][18][19][20][21]. They vary in size from kW to MW and in scope from a refueling station to a complete autonomous island energy supply.…”

“…This experimental power plant supplied by AccaGen produces electricity thanks to a 20 kW solar photovoltaic array and a 30 kW set of wind turbines and stores an equivalent amount of energy as hydrogen via a 50 kW electrolyzer. At times of grid failure or peak demand, the stored hydrogen can be converted back into electricity using a 20 kW fuel cell and 35 kW hydrogen engine, allowing uninterrupted electricity supply to the equivalent of 20 households for up to 24 h [12].…”

The World is facing an imminent shift from the present unsustainable energy system, primarily based on utilization of fossil fuels, to a new sustainable energy system based on renewable energy sources. This transition may have already begun, as solar PV and wind energy installations are growing at unprecedented rates. Renewable energy sources are more than sufficient to satisfy all the energy needs of today's world and technologies for their utilization are available. It is therefore possible to envision an energy system solely based on utilization of renewable energy (Figure 46.1) [1]. Various forms of renewable energy, primarily solar, wind, and hydro can be converted into electricity and heat. This transformation may be accomplished in centralized power plants (probably a better word would be energy plants), but also a significant portion may be accomplished locally or even individually. In some cases economy of scale may favor larger units (e.g., large wind turbines cost less per kW then small ones) but in some cases mass produced small units may also result in lower cost. In such a system there are obvious needs: (i) to store energy -to overcome fluctuations in availability of renewable energy sources; (ii) to transport energy over mid and long distances; and (iii) to fuel the transportation sector (land, sea, and air). Hydrogen could satisfy those needs. Electricity and hydrogen are the only noncarbon currencies that, together, can supply the full menu of energy services. A vision of an energy system of the future presented here in which hydrogen plays a significant role is logical and sustainable. However, such a system should not be called a "hydrogen economy," but rather "hydricity" or "hydrogen-electricity economy" [2].While a future energy system based only on renewable energy sources with electricity and hydrogen as the main energy carriers is technically feasible, a more difficult task is to define a path of how to get there from here. One problem is the inherently high cost of renewable energy. Hydrogen makes the renewable energy even more expensive. An energy system based primarily on renewable energy sources would be impossible without the storage, transport, and fuel features that hydrogen offers. However, renewable energy sources can
