“…The integrated processes combine normally distinct technologies, using wastes from one process as feed for another to increase overall process efficiency [40,41]. For example, the municipal solid waste (MSW) gasification for generation of hydrogen [42], corn distillery waste water as source of organic carbon for bio-hydrogen production, etc.…”

“…The fuel efficiency of the modelled FCV (1.6 MJ/km) does not correspond to what is currently attainable, but rather reflects the likely relative difference in fuel efficiency between advanced ICEVs and FCVs in the near future. using direct hydrogen FC technology will be capable of meeting the US Department of Energy's Partnership for a New Generation of Vehicles (PNGV) goal of 80 miles per gallon equivalent (mpgeq) (0.029 l/km) [22,27]. A thorough analysis of the results from this illustration requires testing the validity of this assumption.…”

This article discusses the ORWARE tool, a model originally developed for environmental systems analysis of waste management systems, and shows its prospect as a tool for environmental technology chain assessment. Different concepts of technology assessment are presented to put ORWARE into context in the discussion that has been going for more than two decades since the establishment of the US Congressional Office of Technology Assessment (OTA). An even-handed assessment is important in different ways such as reproducibility, reliability, credibility, etc. Conventional technology assessment (TA) relied on the judgements and intuition of the assessors. A computer-based tool such as ORWARE provides a basis for transparency and a structured management of input and output data that cover ecological and economic parameters. This permits consistent and coherent technology assessments. Using quantitative analysis as in ORWARE makes comparison and addition of values across chain of technologies easier. We illustrate the application of the model in environmental technology chain assessment through a study of alternative technical systems linking waste management to vehicle fuel production and use. The principles of material and substance flow modelling, life cycle perspective, and graphical modelling featured in ORWARE offer a generic structure for environmentally focused TA of chains and networks of technical processes. #

SUMMARY The world consists of many countries having differences in many areas, ranging from size to economic level, from population to education, etc. Consequently, they are not going to convert to hydrogen‐fueled transportation at the same time. Some will have the right conditions to convert to clean hydrogen transportation early, and other countries will have conditions which will result in a delay in conversion to hydrogen‐fueled transportation. In order to find out which countries are the candidates for early conversion to hydrogen fueled transportation and which countries might convert to hydrogen‐fueled transportation later, an analysis has been carried out covering almost all of the countries in the world. Results indicate that the countries with higher income per capita and smaller size could convert to hydrogen‐fueled transportation earlier. Copyright © 2013 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
