MOTIVATION
The International Energy Agency projects hydrogen demand reaching 530 million tonnes by 2050 under net-zero conditions. Pakistan presents a compelling case with exceptional solar resources (Global Horizontal Irradiance >2,000 kWh/m²/year), current grey hydrogen demand (600,000 tonnes/year), and renewable energy targets (60% by 2030). However, challenges include limited fiscal...
This study conducts a comparative techno-economic analysis of two renewable energy strategies for Egypt’s energy transition: hydrogen-based electrification through the production of green hydrogen via electrolysis and direct electrification using solar photovoltaic and wind energy. The study focuses on Egypt’s Suez Canal Economic Zone, a key area for renewable energy development, and utilizes...
