Abstract

This study provides a novel analysis of the future of green hydrogen in Morocco. A detailed techno-economic assessment of hydrogen production using wind electricity is presented and discussed, offering new insights into the viability and potential of wind-powered hydrogen generation across different regions of the country. The first step of this study is to assess the wind energy potential at the studied locations. Then, the levelized cost of energy, the levelized cost of hydrogen, the energy efficiency, and the amount of hydrogen produced by wind electricity are analyzed for each of the selected sites. The study evaluates hydrogen production and its cost at 13 sites throughout the country and ranks them according to the amount of hydrogen produced by wind electricity. The results reveals that the levelized cost of energy ranges from 0.0269 to 0.303 USD/kWh. In addition, the study shows that Koudia Al Baida and Haouma are the best appropriate locations for hydrogen production, while Tiznit is the least qualified. Moreover, the levelized cost of hydrogen in Koudia Al Baida is estimated at 2.23 USD/kg, while the levelized cost of hydrogen in Tiznit is 24.75 USD/kg.

摩洛哥陆上风电绿色制氢的技术经济分析

这项研究为摩洛哥绿色氢的未来提供了一种新的分析。对风能制氢的详细技术经济评估进行了介绍和讨论，为该国不同地区风能制氢的可行性和潜力提供了新的见解。这项研究的第一步是评估研究地点的风能潜力。然后，对每个选定地点的能源平准化成本、氢气平准化成本、能源效率和风能产生的氢气量进行了分析。该研究评估了全国13个地点的氢气生产及其成本，并根据风力发电产生的氢气量对它们进行了排名。结果表明，平准化能源成本为0.0269 ~ 0.303美元/千瓦时。此外，研究表明，Koudia Al Baida和Haouma是最适合制氢的地点，而Tiznit是最不适合制氢的地点。此外，Koudia Al Baida的氢气平准化成本估计为2.23美元/公斤，而Tiznit的氢气平准化成本为24.75美元/公斤。

期刊介绍： The objective of the International Journal of Hydrogen Energy is to facilitate the exchange of new ideas, technological advancements, and research findings in the field of Hydrogen Energy among scientists and engineers worldwide. This journal showcases original research, both analytical and experimental, covering various aspects of Hydrogen Energy. These include production, storage, transmission, utilization, enabling technologies, environmental impact, economic considerations, and global perspectives on hydrogen and its carriers such as NH3, CH4, alcohols, etc. The utilization aspect encompasses various methods such as thermochemical (combustion), photochemical, electrochemical (fuel cells), and nuclear conversion of hydrogen, hydrogen isotopes, and hydrogen carriers into thermal, mechanical, and electrical energies. The applications of these energies can be found in transportation (including aerospace), industrial, commercial, and residential sectors.
