Petroleum Sector-Driven Roadmap for Future Hydrogen Economy

Abstract

In the climate change mitigation context based on the blue hydrogen concept, a narrative frame is presented in this paper to build the argument for solving the energy trilemma, which is the possibility of job loss and stranded asset accumulation with a sustainable energy solution in gas- and oil-rich regions, especially for the Persian Gulf region. To this aim, scientific evidence and multidimensional feasibility analysis have been employed for making the narrative around hydrogen clear in public and policy discourse so that choices towards acceleration of efforts can begin for paving the way for the future hydrogen economy and society. This can come from natural gas and petroleum-related skills, technologies, experience, and infrastructure. In this way, we present results using multidimensional feasibility analysis through STEEP and give examples of oil- and gas-producing countries to lead the transition action along the line of hydrogen-based economy in order to make quick moves towards cost effectiveness and sustainability through international cooperation. Lastly, this article presents a viewpoint for some regional geopolitical cooperation building but needs a more full-scale assessment.

A Hydrogen-driven Sustainable Marketing Strategy for Future Energy Hubs

“…In this work, a brief description of the literature was described in the Introduction section, and in order to comply with the page limit, a comprehensive literature review including sustainable marketing strategies [3,4,5,6], intelligent energy systems [7,8,9,10], hydrogen energy [2,11,12,13,14] and the role of hydrogen in the future energy hub [15] will be presented in detail in the extended version of this paper.…”

The Adaptive Engineering Asset Management Framework for Sustainable Gas Terminal Infrastructures

“…Hydrogen technology can be more competitive than lithium battery storage technologies in job adaptation, asset infrastructures, and cost competitiveness. The transition from the petroleum industry to a hydrogen-based economy has possible long-term impacts on its sustainability in terms of social (job losses), cost-effectiveness (asset infrastructures sunk costs) and environmental sustainability [21]. The possibility of transforming LNG infrastructure to hydrogen infrastructure application in Indonesia required further study.…”

A Review on Green Hydrogen Valorization by Heterogeneous Catalytic Hydrogenation of Captured CO2 into Value-Added Products

“…material over time for any CO 2 hydrogenation process carried out on an industrial scale. Besides, green hydrogen is greatly influenced by climatic factors, mainly wind intensity and solar radiation, so a supply of hydrogen obtained by a technology controlled by a safe raw material, such as natural gas, that generates very low CO 2 emissions is foreseeable [16].…”
