Project Description

Type of Project: Analysis
Category: Hydrogen Fuel Pathways
Objectives: Project the most economically attractive renewable resources for producing hydrogen from future light-duty vehicles in the U.S.; Optimize the allocation of renewably sourced hydrogen within the contiguous U.S. by minimizing the selling price or renewably sourced hydrogen; Understand how the cost structure of renewable sourced hydrogen varies throughout the country in terms of contributing factors
Technologies Considered: Biomass; wind; photovoltaic (PV)
Models Used: NASA’s Earth Observing System; TIAX Hydrogen Logistics Model
Outputs: Hydrogen cost; hydrogen delivery distance, production and delivery
Sensitivities Studied: Transmission delivery method
Timeframe Studied: 2030 - 2050
