Techno-economic analysis of biomass, wind, and solar systems shows renewable energy's potential in hydrogen production.

This research aims to evaluate the optimal configurations of hybrid renewable energy systems for hydrogen production.
Seven renewable energy system configurations are modeled using Aspen Plus and MATLAB.
Multi-objective optimization problems are conducted via the non-dominated sorting genetic algorithm II (NSGA-II).
Techno-economic analysis includes examining capital expenditure and payback period.
Biomass systems compete effectively with wind and solar for hydrogen production.
Hydrogen production costs are approximately $3.2/kg for wind and $3.6/kg for solar systems.
Biomass coupled with a Rankine cycle shows an LCOH of $7.3/kg under carbon taxation.

Enayatizadeh et al. (2026) studied this question.
