Descripción
The need for an energy transition is widely understood and shared; however, the implications and challenges that must be resolved call for a concerted effort. Hydrogen has the potential to be a powerful enabler for this transition because it offers a clean, sustainable, and flexible option for overcoming multiple obstacles that stand in the way of a resilient and low-carbon economy. Fuel cell electric vehicles (FCEVs) have an important role to play in decarbonizing transport. Today oil dominates the fuel mix that meets the world?s transport needs. Gasoline and diesel account for 96% of total fuel consumption and 21% of global carbon emissions FCEVs offer several significant benefits: ? They can drive long distances without needing to refuel (already more than 600 km). ? They refuel quickly (3 to 5 minutes), similar to current gasoline/diesel cars. ? The sensitivity of the FCEV powertrain cost and weight to the amount of energy stored (kWh) is low. Hydrogen produced from large, centralised electrolysers may be used as a transport fuel from different ways: directly at a hydrogen refueling stations (HRS) at the renewable site, piped to local HRS or shipped on trailers to stations that are a further afield or where hydrogen piping is not feasible. EU estimates for the sale of hydrogen as fuel stand 5-10 ?/kg. In this paper paper it will be analyzed the technical and economic viability of a centralized generation hydrogen plant for mobility use . The technology analyzed will be polymeric electrolysis. Sensitivity analysis of parameters such as investment costs, plant operating hours, electricity price and sale price of hydrogen and oxygen are performed.
