Exploring Japan’s Domestic Green Hydrogen Production Strategy in the 2030s Tianhong Zhang, Masahiro Mae, Ryuji Matsuhashi

Abstract

In this research, a solar/wind hybrid energy system assisted with battery storage was proposed to study Japan’s strategies for domestic green hydrogen production in the 2030s. A LP optimization model of the proposed system was developed, and calculations were done using ERA5 meteorological data. A comprehensive sensitivity analysis and a comparison with overseas production in western Australia were also conducted.
