| description | Hydrogen valleys are encompassed within a defined geographical region, with various technologies across the entire hydrogen value chain. The scope of this study is to analyze and assess the different hydrogen technologies for their application within the hydrogen valley context. Emphasizing on the coupling of renewable energy sources with electrolyzers to produce green hydrogen, this study is focused on the most prominent electrolysis technologies, including alkaline, proton exchange membrane, and solid oxide electrolysis. Moreover, challenges related to hydrogen storage are explored, alongside discussions on physical and chemical storage methods such as gaseous or liquid storage, methanol, ammonia, and liquid organic hydrogen carriers. This article also addresses the distribution of hydrogen within valley operations, especially regarding the current status on pipeline and truck transportation methods. Furthermore, the diverse applications of hydrogen in the mobility, industrial, and energy sectors are presented, showcasing its potential to integrate renewable energy into hard-to-abate sectors. |
