Modelling hydrogen in sector-coupled energy systems

This collective research paper proposes a novel framework to be applied when modelling hydrogen in sector-coupled energy systems.

Hydrogen is expected to play a key role in achieving a carbon-neutral energy system in the future. Therefore, the modelling of hydrogen is becoming an increasingly integrated part of sector-coupled energy system modelling tools. However, results from different models and scenarios show different needs for hydrogen infrastructure and the deployment of electrolyzers. There is, therefore, an urgent need for transparent communication of the main modelling features and input data that can impact the results related to hydrogen production in national energy systems.
