The shift from fossil fuels-derived hydrogen (grey or brown hydrogen) to renewable energy-derived hydrogen (green hydrogen) production is essential to achieve Sustainable Development Goal 7 (SDG7) which aims to ensure the accessibility to affordable, reliable, sustainable, and modern energy. One of the renewable energy sources that have been extensively studied is the biomass-derived energy source. The abundance of palm oil mill effluent (POME) produced annually in Malaysia, poses a unique potential of them being utilized as an alternative renewable feedstock for biohydrogen production. Therefore, this project aims to synthesize an optimal bio-hydrogen supply network via the integration of graph-theoretic approach and Monte Carlo simulation model where palm oil mills serve as hydrogen sources, while the ammonia plants serve as hydrogen sinks. Monte Carlo simulation was performed for the top three ranked bio-hydrogen supply networks extracted from the P-graph model. The uncertainties incorporated in the Monte Carlo simulation model are natural gas price and hydrogen price. Using Sarawak as the case study, it was found that the first ranked solution extracted from the P-graph model had the higher mean NPV value of USD 1,202.12 million.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
