Evaluation of Improvement Studies of the Use of Green Hydrogen Production in Industry – An Economic Perspective

Abstract

Technological developments are rapidly increasing the demand for energy.Using of energy, which is vital from industry to transportation, consumes non-renewable energy sources. For this reason, the scientific world has turned to sustainable energy sources. The goal of decarbonizing our planet by 2050 has added importance to the production of green hydrogen. In this study, the economic effects of the use of green hydrogen in industry were examined. In the first part of the study, the costs of the production methods of hydrogen used in the industry and the costs of green hydrogen production methods were compared. In addition, the costs of green hydrogen production methods were compared among themselves. These differences have been analyzed. There are some studies designed to make green hydrogen production more economical. In the second part, the studies of cost improvements made in recent years have been emphasized. These studies include the impact of plant size on cost and their improvement. Another improvement study is green hydrogen production equipment. The power-to-gas system has been emphasized for improvements. This section continues with potential improvements in taxation, optimal designs for the plant. After the studies mentioned in the paper, green hydrogen costs can be reduced by up to 80% by 2050. As a result of the studies, it was inferenced that the use of green hydrogen in the industrial sector should be of a supportable project.
