“…For example, amplifying auto-consumption from rooftop solar PV systems through the use of residential battery storage and electric vehicles (EVs) was not prominently considered by model designers 20-30 years ago [97][98][99]. Hydrogen, a key energy carrier to decarbonise energy-intensive industries, and how it may co-evolve with renewable electricity infrastructure, continues to be highly unaccounted-for in current techno-economic modelling [100][101][102]. Current scenarios also probably underestimate the growth sector coupling (VRE in transport, buildings and industry) [103][104][105][106].…”

Long-term energy scenarios (LTES) have been serving as an important planning tool by a wide range of institutions. This article focuses on how LTES have been used (and also devised in some cases) in the government sector, and specifically how the new challenges and opportunities brought by the aspiration for the clean energy transition change the way that governments use LTES. The information tends to remain tacit, and a gap exists in understanding the way to enhance LTES use and development at the government level. To address this gap, we draw on the experience from national institutions that are leading the improvement in official energy scenario planning to articulate a set of overarching best practices to (i) strengthen LTES development, (ii) effectively use LTES for strategic energy planning and (iii) enhance institutional capacity for LTES-based energy planning, all in the context of new challenges associated with the clean energy transition. We present implementation experience collected through the International Renewable Agency’s LTES Network activities to exemplify these best practices. We highlight that in the context of the broad and complex challenges of a clean energy transition driven by ambitious climate targets, the LTES-based energy planning methodologies need to evolve, reflecting the changing landscapes, and that more effective and extensive use of LTES in government needs to be further encouraged.

“…In recent years, the natural gas price has been uncertain but kept relatively low due to the large-scale exploitation of unconventional gas and oil. The price signal must therefore come from a steady and certain evolution of the carbon tax [53]. Additionally, note that a recent Korean study showed that car consumers are ready to pay a higher price for hydrogen refueling than for classic gasoline for internal combustion engine vehicles (GICEVs) [54].…”

The latest pre-production vehicles on the market show that the major technical challenges posed by integrating a fuel cell system (FCS) within a vehicle—compactness, safety, autonomy, reliability, cold starting—have been met. Regarding the ongoing maturity of fuel cell systems dedicated to road transport, the present article examines the advances still needed to move from a functional but niche product to a mainstream consumer product. It seeks to address difficulties not covered by more traditional innovation approaches. At least in long-distance heavy-duty vehicles, fuel cell vehicles (FCVs) are going to play a key role in the path to zero-emissions in one or two decades. Hence the present study also addresses the structuring elements of the complete chain: the latter includes the production, storage and distribution of hydrogen. Green hydrogen appears to be one of the potential uses of renewable energies. The greener the electricity is, the greater the advantage for hydrogen since it permits to economically store large energy quantities on seasonal rhythms. Moreover, natural hydrogen might also become an economic reality pushing the fuel cell vehicle to be a competitive and environmentally friendly alternative to the battery electric vehicle. Based on its own functional benefits for on board systems, hydrogen in combination with the fuel cell will achieve a large-scale use of hydrogen in road transport, as soon as renewable energies become more widespread. Its market will expand from large driving range and heavy load vehicles.

“…Nowadays, serious scientific work is being carried out all over the world aimed at developing and justifying technical solutions that help reduce the negative impact on the environment through the production of carbon-free fuel and effective waste disposal. Research is being conducted on various technologies for hydrogen production (for example, electrolysis [7], steam methane reforming [8], method of methane pyrolysis [9], coal gasification [10], gasification of woody biomass [11], and their comparative analysis (for example, [12][13][14])) and also evaluates the economic efficiency of individual methods in different energy systems (for example, Croatia [9], Sweden [15], Germany [16], Poland [10,17], Great Britain [14], and Slovenia [18]). The technical and economic aspects of hydrogen production at existing power plants are considered (for example, thermal power plants [9], hydroelectric power plants [18,19], and nuclear power plants [20]).…”

The need to increase the level of beneficial recycling of municipal solid waste (MSW) and the focus on low-carbon energy are increasing interest in the production of hydrogen from MSW. The presence of free space and excess capacity makes thermal power plants (TPPs) the most rational objects for the integration of units that produce hydrogen from MSW. The use of heat pumps (HP) will make it possible to use waste heat, increase heat output, and optimize the TPPs’ operating modes. The purpose of the study is to analyze the effectiveness of using HPs in the scheme for producing hydrogen from MSW at TPPs. The integration of a hydrogen-generating unit into the thermal circuit of a TPP will provide the necessary amount of vapor for the production of hydrogen but will lead to a decrease in the thermal efficiency of the plant. The use of HP will partially compensate for this decrease. For plants with a turbine of type T-100/120-130, when using HPs to heat network water, the reduction in electricity generation will be 1.9–32.0%, and the increase in heat supply will be 1.7–14.2%. The reduction in specific fuel consumption for an electricity supply will be 0–1.2%, an increase in marginal profit of 0.1–6.4%, with the MSW disposal of 10–90 t/h, and the hydrogen generation of 0.8–18.9 t/h.
