“…Hydrogen has the advantage of being a non-carbon energy carrier that can be produced from electrolysis of water (in this case) or from a variety of other energy sources, and can be used as longer-term or seasonal storage (in comparison to batteries which tend to be utilized for operations requiring a shorter storage period). Japan has a significant long term government-led industrial development program for hydrogen, with major automotive, energy and industrial manufacturers being involved [55][56][57].…”

In the aftermath of the Paris Agreements, many countries around the globe have pledged to reduce the amount of greenhouse gas emissions being released into the atmosphere. To do so, it is important that the amount of renewable energy in the electricity grid increases, though there are worries of the capacity of the grid to cope with intermittent energy sources. To assess the feasibility of a 100% renewable energy system in Japan, the authors conducted an hourly simulation of future electricity production based on wind, solar and tidal data in Japan. The system was shown to be stable, and the authors calculated the required capacity of electrical batteries that would be necessary to balance such a system.

“…These effects can be assessed with the help of macro-economic tools such as the popular computable general equilibrium (CGE) models [90], which, despite their rather simplistic assumptions on optimal and rational economic behaviour [91], are well equipped to address, at least generically, both micro and macro-economic rebounds [42]. Some studies further suggest that integrating LCA and CGE modelling is a valuable undertaking, either to include dynamic effects (e.g., related to price changes) into a conventional LCA [92,93] or to include technology-specific environmental coefficients calculated via LCA into a CGE model [41,94]. LCA-CGE models have great potential to study rebound effects from policy, for example by combining a technology-rich assessment of new technologies with their associated dynamic effects related to changes in prices, productivity, etc.…”

Roadmap to Rebound: How to Address Rebound Effects from Resource Efficiency Policy

2018

Increasing demand for resources has been met with a new wave of resource efficiency policies worldwide. Such policies are, however, vulnerable to rebound effects when increased resource efficiency leads to additional resource use via behavioural and systemic responses. Yet, the implications of policy-induced rebounds are mostly unknown since most studies have focused on costless and exogenous efficiency improvements that are not linked to any specific policy intervention. After reviewing the literature, we provide guidance for the analysis of policy-induced rebounds. With regards to scope and method design, we highlight the untapped potential of life cycle assessment (to capture trade-offs between life cycle stages and environmental pressures) and macro-economic modelling (to reveal economic consequences beyond supply chain effects). We also find striking asymmetries in research efforts, leaving knowledge gaps for key resource efficiency strategies targeting, among others, materials, water, land, biodiversity, and waste. Lastly, rebound effects generally focus on a single resource, usually energy, and much is ignored about their implications in the context of resource interlinkages. A better understanding of such cross-resource rebounds is key to design and to assess the effectiveness of emerging policy paradigms such as the resource nexus and the sustainable development goals.

“…All of these articles optimise the model through the familiar -constraint method. A dynamic computable equilibrium model with LCA method to forecast the development of the HSC and CO 2 emissions was also developed in Japan (Lee, 2014). Japan is one of most aggressive countries in developing a hydrogen economy, it plans to develop hydrogen highways for hydrogen-powered vehicles ((e.g.…”

Hydrogen supply chain MILP -ConstraintMultiple criteria decision-making Geographic information system a b s t r a c tThis study focuses on the development of a methodological framework for the design of a five-echelon hydrogen supply chain (HSC) (energy source, production, storage, transportation and fuelling station) considering the geographic level of implementation. The formulation based on mixed integer linear programming involves a multi-criteria approach where three objectives have to be optimised simultaneously, i.e., cost, global warming potential and safety risk. The objective is twofold: first, to test the robustness of the method proposed in De-Leon (2014) from a regional to a national geographic scale and, secondly, to examine the consistency of the results. A new phase of data collection and demand scenarios are performed to be adapted to the French case based on the analysis of roadmaps. In this case study, the ArcGIS ® spatial tool is used to locate the supply chain elements before and after optimisation. The multi-objective optimisation approach by the -constraint method is applied, analysed and discussed. Finally, a comparison between the results of different geographic scale cases is carried out.
