Minimum-Regret Hydrogen and Carbon Supply Chains to Decarbonize European Industrial Hydrogen Demands.

ABSTRACT: Low-carbon hydrogen (H₂) is envisioned to play a central role in decarbonizing European hard-to-abate industries, such as refineries, ammonia, methanol, steel, and cement. To facilitate its widespread use, low-carbon H₂ supply chain (HSC) infrastructure is needed. However, uncertainties around future low-carbon H₂ demands and biomass availability hamper their proliferation. This work investigates the impact of uncertainties in H₂ demand and biomass availability on the optimal HSC design. A linear optimization model is used to determine the cost-optimal HSC design, considering a regional spatial resolution and a multiyear time horizon from 2022 to 2050. CO₂ and biomass infrastructure is designed alongside the HSC. A scenario-based appro
