Results
The results of the survey are displayed using the template “Country decarbonisation potential assessment” available in appendix 18.
On the left end side of the template, the renewable energy offer is presented according to the current, planned at 2030 horizon, and technical potential
capacities for solar PV and wind energy. The amount of renewable electricity
available for producing hydrogen through water electrolysis is displayed following the three scenarios depicted in section 5.3.1 of this paper: all renewable
electricity is used, only the curtailed portion is used, and 2.550 hours of renewable
electricity production is used.
On the right end side of the template, the hydrogen demand is presented for
each industrial process falling under the scope of this paper. As the hydrogen
demand is determined, the corresponding CO 2 emissions when hydrogen is produced from fossil fuels are displayed. Similarly, the electricity required to produce
the hydrogen through water electrolysis is shown. Current and 2030 projected
hydrogen demand figures are provided.
In all cases the scenarios involving the steel manufacturing option (a) would
only lead to a partial decarbonisation as some coke would steel be used for the
reduction of the iron ore.
For all study cases, the decarbonisation potential is only estimated based on the
large solar PV and wind power renewable capacity. Large hydropower electricity
generation capacity is not considered.
The decarbonisation potential is given in the central part of the template. It
makes the link between the renewable energy offer and the hydrogen demand.
