Harmonizing the assessment of (Green) Hydrogen Supply Chain: a modular and parametrized Life Cycle Assessment Framework.
Key Points
The aim is to create a standardized life cycle assessment framework for green hydrogen technologies to enhance transparency and consistency.
Developed a modular and parametrized life cycle assessment framework.
Evaluated existing life cycle assessment studies on green hydrogen.
Proposed guidelines for consistent LCA modeling and reporting.
Identified key gaps in current LCA methodologies for green hydrogen.
Proposed a modular framework that can be adapted to various hydrogen supply scenarios.
Suggested improved strategies for transparent dissemination of LCA results.
Abstract
Despite a growing number of life cycle assessment (LCA) studies on green hydrogen technologies, a lack of harmonization in how to scope the LCA modeling framework and transparently disseminate results...
