HyChain 1,2 & 3: energy carriers and hydrogen supply chain: a management summary

other
Hydrogen plays a vital role in creating renewable energy systems. Not only is hydrogen important in the transition to a renewable energy system, but it is also a key component of decarbonization pathways for industry. In order to increase the understanding of the role of hydrogen in the industrial energy transition, the Institute for Sustainable Process Technology (ISPT) established the Hydrohub Innovation Program. This cooperative
program runs inside the System Integration Cluster of ISPT. In three sub projects HyChain 1, 2 and 3, this has resulted in three overview reports, a cost calculation model and a series of factsheets. What makes this initiative particularly valuable is the fact that it has been a multi stakeholder exercise which has lead to a supported, peer to peer (over)view, and an up-to-date fact base for further use. Each of the stakeholders in the project, and outside, can work with the material on its own, whether it is industry, policy makers or knowledge institutes. The models allow modification and introduction of specific scenario’s and parameters. The initiative is continued by HyChain 4 and 5, which
focuses on developing integral supply chain models in support of joint decision making and applying these to investigate both societal impact and geopolitical aspects of the emerging hydrogen economy. The current results have been presented, are accessible to the public, and are ready to be used.
