Economic Feasibility of Green Hydrogen Production by Water Electrolysis Using Wind and Geothermal Energy Resources in Asal-Ghoubbet Rift (Republic of Djibouti): A Comparative Evaluation

Abstract: The Republic of Djibouti has untapped potential in terms of renewable energy resources, such as geothermal, wind, and solar energy. This study examines the economic feasibility of green hydrogen production by water electrolysis using wind and geothermal energy resources in the Asal–Ghoubbet Rift (AG Rift), Republic of Djibouti. It is the first study in Africa that compares the cost per kg of green hydrogen produced by wind and geothermal energy from a single site. The unit cost of electricity produced by the w… Show more

“…In an editorial by F. Calise et al in [67], recent advances in green hydrogen technology were reviewed. Such advances include the hydrogenation of captured CO 2 in [68], green hydrogen from multi-renewable energy systems, as seen, for instance, with hydrogen from wind + geothermal in [69], wind + solar + electrolyzers + fuel cells in [70], and solar + electrolyzer + absorption chiller + electric + thermal energy storage in [71].…”
