Abstract

In this work, a novel strategy for the design of a hydrogen supply chain (HSC) network for Germany is presented for minimum daily supply costs, minimum mitigation costs of CO2 and maximum network safety. The proposed model is a mixed integer linear program that is solved with the Advanced Integrated Multidimensional Modeling System (AIMMS). The model is solved as a multi-criterion decision making problem, where three objectives (costs, safety and environmental impact) are balanced. The results show that hydrogen as type of fuel has potential to replace carbon-based fuels in the near future. Implementation of decentralized hydrogen production plant based on water electrolysis may compete with coal-based dominant technology.
