Abstract

The combination of solar energy and hydrogen technologies has a critical role in accelerating the energy transition and reducing carbon emissions. This study identifies optimal sites for green hydrogen production in Konya, a region with high solar energy potential in Türkiye. Within the scope of the research, a multi-criteria approach covering technical, economic and environmental sensitivities has been adopted. These criteria were prioritised according to the expert opinions by using Best-Worst Method (BWM), a Multi criteria Decision-Making (MCDM) method. By using Geographic Information System (GIS) spatial analysis tools, the prioritised criteria were combined according to their weights and suitable and unsuitable areas were revealed. The results showed that 7.10% (275858 ha) of the study area is very suitable for constructing green hydrogen production plant based on solar energy, especially in Konya city centre, Karapınar, Ereğli, Beyşehir and Seydişehir districts. Konya province's large solar energy potential, existing energy infrastructure and proximity to industrial zones make this region a strategic centre for green hydrogen production. This study provides important findings to strengthen Türkiye's strategic position in renewable energy-based hydrogen production and contribute to regional sustainable development.

科尼亚/土耳其太阳能绿色制氢厂的最佳选址

太阳能和氢能技术的结合在加速能源转型和减少碳排放方面具有关键作用。这项研究确定了Konya绿色氢气生产的最佳地点，Konya是缅甸太阳能潜力巨大的地区。在研究范围内，采用了涵盖技术、经济和环境敏感性的多准则方法。采用Best-Worst Method (BWM)，即多准则决策（MCDM）方法，根据专家意见对这些准则进行排序。利用地理信息系统（GIS）空间分析工具，根据优先标准的权重进行组合，揭示出适宜和不适宜的区域。结果表明，研究区7.10% （275858 ha）的土地非常适合建设太阳能绿色制氢工厂，特别是在科尼亚市中心、Karapınar、Ereğli、bey ehir和seydi ehir地区。科尼亚省巨大的太阳能潜力、现有的能源基础设施以及邻近工业区使该地区成为绿色氢生产的战略中心。本研究为加强 rkiye公司在可再生能源制氢领域的战略地位，促进区域可持续发展提供了重要的研究成果。

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.
