“…with simplified designs, cheaper and more durable materials) as well as efficiency improvements are required to create a business case for using electrolysis in the grid. Electrolyser affordability, while dependent on system efficiency [90], will improve with increasing use of lowcost electricity, reinforced by income from the provision of balancing services to the electricity system [53]. For Europe, under a long-term decarbonization scenario with emission reduction targets of 80% below the 1990 levels in 2050, a study using the JRC-EU-TIMES model [91] shows electrolysers become the most important form of absorbing excess electricity in 2050.…”

In recent years, newfound interest in the hydrogen economy from both industry and academia has helped to shed light on its potential. Hydrogen can enable an energy revolution by providing much needed flexibility in renewable energy systems. As a clean energy carrier, hydrogen offers a range of benefits for simultaneously decarbonising the transport, residential, commercial and industrial sectors. Hydrogen is shown here to have synergies with other low carbon alternatives, and can enable a more cost-effective transition to de-carbonised and cleaner energy systems. This paper presents the opportunities for the use of hydrogen in key sectors of the economy and identifies the benefits and challenges within the hydrogen supply chain for power-to-gas, power-to-power and gas-to-gas supply pathways. While industry players have already started market introduction of hydrogen fuel cell systems, including fuel cell electric vehicles and micro-combined heat and power devices, the use of hydrogen at grid-scale requires the challenges of clean hydrogen production, bulk storage, and distribution to be resolved. Ultimately, greater government support, in partnership with industry and academia, is still needed to realise hydrogen's potential across all economic sectors.

“…In this figure, the current status and forecast for hydrogen adoption in industrial sectors is presented in the context of favorable technological pathways and synergy with primary industrial processes. Both peerreviewed [41,45,55,75,104,109,112,152,155,156,[167][168][169][170][171][172][173][174][175][176][177][178][179][180][181][182] and grey literature [4,9,10,[183][184][185][186] were evaluated to provide a foundation for this snapshot. Major technological drivers for selection between the different pathways can be summarized as:…”

“…In general, there are two approaches in the conduct of techno-economic studies found from the literature. The first approach involves the assessment of technical and economic performance indicators from previous studies followed by economic comparison after adjustments in inflation rates and currency conversion, if necessary [36,116]. The second approach entails the standardized simulation of the processes to be compared using Aspen Plus or Aspen HYSYS to generate mass and energy balances followed by investment and production cost estimation [30,35,38].…”

The development of low-carbon fuels from renewable resources is a key measure to reduce carbon dioxide emissions and mitigate climate change. Biomass gasification with subsequent gas processing and purification is a promising route to produce low-carbon hydrogen. In the past decade, simulation-based modelling using Aspen Plus software has supported the investigation of future potential industrial applications of this pathway. This article aims to provide a review of the modelling and economic assessment of woody biomass gasification-based hydrogen production, with focus on the evaluation of the model accuracy in predicting producer gas composition in comparison with experimental data depending on the approach implemented. The assessment of comprehensive models, which integrate biomass gasification with gas processing and purification, highlights how downstream gas processing could improve the quality of the syngas and, thus, the hydrogen yield. The information in this article provides an overview of the current practices, challenges, and opportunities for future research, particularly for the development of a comprehensive pathway for hydrogen production based on biomass gasification. Moreover, this review includes a techno-economic assessment of biomass to hydrogen processes, which will be useful for implementation at industrial-scale.
