Green hydrogen production is increasingly seen as the quintessence of clean energy systems. With the global pivot toward renewable energy, the integration of green hydrogen presents opportunities and challenges. In 2020, renewable sources constituted around 29 percent of global electricity generation. Yet, energy surplus remains underutilized in various regions, offering potential for green hydrogen systems to enhance efficiencies. Using a paradigm-shifting heuristic approach—specifically the City Location Evaluation Optimization for Green Hydrogen (CELO_GH) algorithm—a recent study examined this integration in Turkey. Navigating the intricate terrain of site selection for green hydrogen facilities necessitates harmonizing technical, economic, logistical, and environmental considerations. The…

Solar and wind energies have long been at the forefront, renown for their environmental credentials and resource abundance. However, their intermittent nature presents a significant hurdle when these are relied upon as singular energy sources for both small-scale and extensive applications. To mitigate these inconsistencies, Hybrid Renewable Energy Systems (HRES) have been developed, integrating multiple renewable sources along with necessary storage solutions to potentially stabilize output. Recent advancements have pushed towards the integration of green hydrogen as a pivotal component within HRES. The implementation of photovoltaic panels (PVs) and wind turbines (WTs), combined with continuous hydrogen production, offers a promising…
