Abstract

This study investigates the economic viability of green hydrogen production using offshore wind energy in Türkiye, focusing on four regions: Ayvacık, Bozcaada, Edremit, and Bandırma. A techno-economic model was developed to estimate the levelized cost of hydrogen (LCOH) using 50 MW alkaline and polymer electrolyte membrane (PEM) electrolyzers. Results indicate that Ayvacık, with an LCOH of $4.33/kg H₂ for alkaline electrolysis, is the most cost-effective location, while Bandırma, with the highest production costs, reaches an LCOH of $5.85/kg H₂. Key cost drivers include capacity factor, capital expenditures (CAPEX), and government incentives such as local content support, which lowers Ayvacık's LCOH to $4.13/kg H₂. These findings underscore offshore wind's potential to drive green hydrogen production in Türkiye, although regional factors significantly impact economic feasibility. This analysis highlights the strategic importance of optimal site selection, supportive policies, and technology advancements for expanding Türkiye's green hydrogen industry.

期刊介绍： The objective of the International Journal of Hydrogen Energy is to facilitate the exchange of new ideas, technological advancements, and research findings in the field of Hydrogen Energy among scientists and engineers worldwide. This journal showcases original research, both analytical and experimental, covering various aspects of Hydrogen Energy. These include production, storage, transmission, utilization, enabling technologies, environmental impact, economic considerations, and global perspectives on hydrogen and its carriers such as NH3, CH4, alcohols, etc. The utilization aspect encompasses various methods such as thermochemical (combustion), photochemical, electrochemical (fuel cells), and nuclear conversion of hydrogen, hydrogen isotopes, and hydrogen carriers into thermal, mechanical, and electrical energies. The applications of these energies can be found in transportation (including aerospace), industrial, commercial, and residential sectors.
