Highlights
- This study showcases the significance of publicly available US Department of Energy Models for hydrogen production and analysis for India.
- H2A ( Hydrogen Analysis Model) shows that the production cost of hydrogen by PEM Electrolysis is INR 439.44 ($5.31) per kg.
- HDSAM (Hydrogen Delivery Scenario Analysis Model) for New Delhi, India, as an example, is valuable for analyzing delivery costs by pipeline and tube trailers
- HDSAM Models give a perspective on delivery costs ranging from $ 5-10 per kg at higher market penetration and higher dispensing rate of hydrogen, which merits an understanding in the Indian context
Abstract
In its aspirations to achieve net zero goals by 2070, India is considering multiple renewable energy options. With the expectation of replacing fossil fuel-based feedstocks, hydrogen is being seen as a potential option for the transportation industry [1]. Replacing a fuel distribution infrastructure based on fossil fuel-based feedstocks to address a futuristic emerging option like hydrogen will receive an impetus if challenges on its introduction in an urban setting are duly identified through a combination of first principles engineering optimization base analyses and techno-economic analysis. Our work utilizes the H2A (Hydrogen Analysis Model) and HDSAM (Hydrogen Delivery Scenario Analysis Model) Model developed by the US Department of Energy (US-DOE) for modeling the cost of delivering hydrogen from a central production facility into a vehicle. The delivery infrastructure deploys all transport, storage, and conditioning activities from the outlet of the hydrogen production plant to the fueling station.

The three main global energy concerns of providing access to modern energy, enhancing the security of the energy supply, and minimising the impact of energy systems on the climate have an impact on both national and international energy governance. To develop solutions that address the many facets of these difficulties, however, a variety of actors and stakeholders must be included due to the complexity of the energy challenges.
Cities are responsible for more than 70% of the world’s energy consumption and 40% to 50% of its greenhouse gas emissions. Managing increasing urbanisation is a challenge, and nations must deal with the effects it will have on the environment in terms of energy and climate.
Our transition to a future with lower carbon emissions depends heavily on buildings. They are our places of residence, rest, and employment; they also account for around one-third of the world’s greenhouse gas emissions and nearly 40% of the world’s energy usage.
