A techno-economic assessment of large scale wind-hydrogen production with energy storage in western Canada
Download2016-01-01
Olateju, Babatunde, Kumar, Amit, Secanell, Marc
Hydrogen production via steam methane reforming (SMR) dominates the supply to refining complexes worldwide, resulting in significant greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. There is a considerable demand for clean hydrogen pathways that are economically competitive with SMR. The development of a 563 MW...
