Economic and technical analysis of hydrogen production and transport: a case study of Egypt.

ABSTRACT: This study investigates the economic, technical, and logistical aspects of hydrogen production, with a particular focus on Egypt's potential to emerge as a global hydrogen leader. The research is motivated by Egypt's abundant renewable resources, strategic location, and increasing interest in hydrogen as a cornerstone of the energy transition. Using the Hydra simulation model developed in MATLAB/Simulink, the study evaluates the Levelized Cost of Hydrogen (LCOH) and Levelized Supply Costs of Hydrogen (LSCOH) across various scenarios, spanning from 2024 to 2050. These scenarios incorporate factors such as economic growth, technological advancements, energy policies, and infrastructure developments. Projections indicate that the hydrogen demand in Egypt is expected to reach 6.0 million tons
