Renewable Energy, 2021, vol. 177, issue C, 915-931

Abstract: Political and scientific discussions on changing German energy supply mix and challenges of such energy transition are already well established. At the supply level, energy storage seems to be the biggest challenge ahead for such transition. Hydrogen could be one of the solutions for future energy transition if it is produced using renewable energy resources. In order to analyze the future role of hydrogen, its economic performance analysis is inevitable. This has been done in this research for a case study site in Cologne.
