Summary:
The green hydrogen (H2) technology has an important role to play in the European Union energy strategy towards decarbonization. Apart from traditional H2 industrial usages, there is an increasing attention to its use in the heavy transport sector, in other energy-intensive industries, and in heating applications. Green H2 production is planned to be based on renewable electricity generation and its production at an industrial scale may have a significant impact on the electricity markets. This research assesses the electricity cost of producing H2 and its impact on the Iberian electricity market. Different evolution scenarios including a partially flexible H2 demand, based on the Spanish and Portuguese energy and climate plans, have been considered for this assessment.
Spanish layman's summary:
El trabajo evalúa el coste de producir H2 a partir de electricidad en el MIBEL. Para ello se analizan diferentes escenarios de evolución de la capacidad de generación instalada y la demanda de H2, teniendo en cuenta los PNIEC y estrategias H2 de España y Portugal.
English layman's summary:
This research assesses the cost of producing H2 from electricity in the MIBEL. The assessment is performed for different evolution scenarios of installed generation capacity and H2 demand, based on the Spanish and Portuguese PNIEC plans and H2 strategies.
Keywords: decarbonization, hydrogen, electricity cost, power sector, electricity market.
