“…Thus, the green H 2 economy made an important contribution to the long-term viability of renewable energy. In addition, the adaptability of H 2 applications and uses was considered as a distinguishing feature of the green H 2 economy, playing a role as an infrastructure for the utilization and provision of sustainable and clean energy, which positively influenced any purpose of intervention and field [15]. Therefore, Trattner et al [16] indicated that the approach to tackle climate change and environmental concerns was to perform two key paradigms, including primary renewable sources of energy and a green H 2 society, leveraging synergy and complementarity of Fig.…”

“…Posso et. al estimated the production of green hydrogen in Paraguay with a contribution of 93.34% of the solar energy coming from the west of the country, for the final uses of transportation and domestic use [6]. Similar to the previously mentioned studies, this research also evaluates the potential of hydrogen generation from renewable sources of a country, with the novelty that a Power-to-Power hydrogen plant was sized for each one of the twenty solar and wind power plants in Honduras that were studied in this research using a cost-benefit analysis as a decision criterion.…”

Honduras relies on fossil fuels and reservoir hydroelectric power plants to maintain the stability of the national electrical network. Due to the intermittency of renewable resources, solar and wind power plants cannot provide stability to the national electrical network. Renewable plants in the country that use variable renewable resources such as wind and solar have energy shedding controlled by the National Dispatch Center of Honduras to maintain a safe electrical system. Energy shedding can be defined as non-generated energy as a result of power limitations in renewable plants. This energy shedding can be used for green hydrogen production, which can displace fossil fuel technologies, bring stability to the national electrical network, and contribute to the decarbonization process of the country. In this research, sixteen green hydrogen Power-to-Power plants were sized using cumulative energy generation curves built with energy shedding data held by the National Dispatch Center of Honduras. A cost-benefit analysis was used as a decision criterion for the sizing of the hydrogen plants. The annual green hydrogen and energy production by electrolyzers and fuel cells, and the potential for carbon dioxide emission mitigation was estimated. The energy return on investment of each plant was calculated to analyze the harnessed energy in the hydrogen system.Page layout

“…With its long value chain, a hydrogen economy is said to offer significant potential for job creation and would help attract international investment into producing countries or regions [14,15]. A clean hydrogen economy might help to reduce exposure to geopolitical and oil price instability as well as reduce the CO 2 emissions for countries relying on diesel [16,17]. Green hydrogen, produced only using renewable energy sources with a low carbon footprint, is increasingly viewed as an important pathway to reducing imports of fossil-based fuels and chemicals [18].…”

The rising demand for energy and the aim of moving away from fossil fuels and to low-carbon power have led many countries to move to alternative sources including solar energy, wind, geothermal energy, biomass, and hydrogen. Hydrogen is often considered a “missing link” in guaranteeing the energy transition, providing storage, and covering the volatility and intermittency of renewable energy generation. However, due to potential injustice with regard to the distribution of risks, benefits, and costs (i.e., in regard to competing for land use), the large-scale deployment of hydrogen is a contested policy issue. This paper draws from a historical analysis of past energy projects to contribute to a more informed policy-making process toward a more just transition to the hydrogen economy. We perform a systematic literature review to identify relevant conflict factors that can influence the outcome of hydrogen energy transition projects in selected Economic Community of West African States countries, namely Nigeria and Mali. To better address potential challenges, policymakers must not only facilitate technology development, access, and market structures for hydrogen energy policies but also focus on energy access to affected communities. Further research should monitor hydrogen implementation with a special focus on societal impacts in producing countries.
