Abstract
Hydrogen energy is a rapidly growing source of clean energy, and it has now become an important part of the sustainable energy system. This study focuses on the full life cycle environmental benefits and optimization path of hydrogen energy in industrial parks, and innovatively constructs a full chain integration model of hydrogen energy. Based on the life cycle assessment (LCA) methodology, the energy demand and greenhouse gas emissions of the system are quantified by analyzing manufacturer data and the Ecoinvent database. LCA allowed a systematic assessment of the environmental footprint and economic viability of hydrogen production, storage, transportation, and utilization. The results show that the EPBT and GPBT of the hydrogen-integrated industrial park energy system are 11.9 and 7.1 years, respectively. Based on the results of the life cycle assessment, optimization strategies to further reduce carbon emissions are proposed. This study breaks through the limitations of the traditional single-link analysis method and establishes a decision-support framework that combines carbon reduction strategies with infrastructure optimization. The results of the study provide feasible insights for advancing the energy transition of cities and towns.
期刊介绍:
Energy & Fuels publishes reports of research in the technical area defined by the intersection of the disciplines of chemistry and chemical engineering and the application domain of non-nuclear energy and fuels. This includes research directed at the formation of, exploration for, and production of fossil fuels and biomass; the properties and structure or molecular composition of both raw fuels and refined products; the chemistry involved in the processing and utilization of fuels; fuel cells and their applications; and the analytical and instrumental techniques used in investigations of the foregoing areas.
