The goal of this study is to develop various supply chain scenarios of green hydrogen production technologies, evaluate their environmental impacts, and identify the most sustainable solution for the United Kingdom.

Considering the main suppliers in the UK market, the core of the study is a comparative analysis of five primary hydrogen production technologies: Alkaline electrolysis cell (AEC), Solid oxide electrolysis cell (SOEC), Polymer electrolyte membrane electrolysis cell (PEMEC), Biomass gasification and biological hydrogen production.

This project is funded by Research England within the South Yorkshire Sustainability Centre (SYSC).
