H1: Mathematical optimization models for the design and analysis of cross-sectoral hydrogen value networks and regional transformation

The aim of this project is to develop cross-sectoral mathematical optimization models in order to analyze the structure of future hydrogen supply chains considering various scenarios, and to gain valuable insights into beneficial network structures of hydrogen supply chains for decision makers from industry and politics. In particular, the distribution of the limited resources to produce green hydrogen across the different application areas will be investigated. The main focus is the distribution of green hydrogen across application areas in order to achieve the greatest possible reduction in greenhouse gas emissions. Based on the results of the structure of future transnational hydrogen supply chains, it is planned to investigate the effects of the long-term establishment of international hydrogen supply chains within the medium-term regional transformation until 2030, using the region of southern Germany as a case study.
