Abstract

This study evaluates the environmental and economic viability of green hydrogen production in Türkiye using a high-resolution spatial model across 120 grid cells, powered by solar PV and wind energy for a 10 MW Proton Exchange Membrane electrolyzer. Unlike prior assessments that assume uniform renewable energy availability, this study integrates Global Climate Models to capture regional and climate-specific variations under three future climate scenarios. Results reveal substantial geographic differences: coastal regions such as the Aegean and Black Sea offer lower emissions and production costs due to more favourable renewable energy conditions, while central and northern areas face higher challenges. The analysis also shows that targeted policy instruments, including Production and Investment Tax Credits, can significantly improve the economic feasibility of green hydrogen. By emphasizing climate-informed, region-specific planning, this study provides a strategic framework for optimizing hydrogen production and supports Türkiye's potential role in the global clean energy transition.

新疆绿色氢的空间变异性：环境和经济视角

本研究利用高分辨率空间模型评估了 rkiye绿色制氢的环境和经济可行性，该模型横跨120个网格电池，由10兆瓦质子交换膜电解槽的太阳能光伏和风能供电。与先前假设可再生能源可用性统一的评估不同，本研究整合了全球气候模型，以捕捉未来三种气候情景下的区域和气候特定变化。结果显示了巨大的地理差异：沿海地区，如爱琴海和黑海，由于更有利的可再生能源条件，提供更低的排放和生产成本，而中部和北部地区面临更高的挑战。分析还表明，有针对性的政策工具，包括生产和投资税收抵免，可以显著提高绿色氢的经济可行性。通过强调气候信息，特定区域的规划，本研究为优化氢气生产提供了战略框架，并支持t rkiye在全球清洁能源转型中的潜在作用。

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.
