Hydrogen System Analysis

The goal of the Hydrogen System Analysis research topic is to simulate, optimize, and evaluate systems for the sustainable production, conversion, and use of hydrogen and derivatives from technological, economic, and environmental perspectives. Our hydrogen system analyses provide an important foundation for industry and the public and support the ramp-up of hydrogen-based energy markets at the regional and international levels.

Our analyses are based on a broad methodological and analytical expertise: starting with GIS-based site analysis, process analysis for engineering processes, and – building on this – holistic techno-economic simulation and optimization of entire hydrogen value chains and associated prospective environmental analyses.

Furthermore, our research group develops overview studies, meta-analyses, and advisory papers as strategic foundations for decision-makers in politics and industry. 

• Technical and economic feasibility studies and life cycle analyses to evaluate the business case for your hydrogen supply chain
• Comprehensive analyses, optimizations, and further developments for process engineering, Bio-to-X, Power-to-X, and hybrid concepts
• System modeling for hydrogen yield forecasting and efficiency optimization
• Evaluation of operational management concepts and business models for electrolysers in the energy system
• Techno-economic and environmental analysis of hydrogen imports and hydrogen regions
• Concept development and deployment analysis of electrolysers in hydrogen infrastructures and model regions
• Technology and market studies as well as cost models for electrolysers
