Decreasing greenhouse gas emissions plays a crucial role in the Europe energy transition and the production of hydrogen using electricity from renewable sources (green H 2) contributes significantly to this objective. As the renewable energy production capacity grows, the impact of green H 2 is likely to increase. In the case of the Iberian Electricity Market (MIBEL), no quantitative studies have so far tested the viability of the H 2 growth plans. This paper fills this gap through a novel mathematical programming model, which integrates H2 generation into the MIBEL. The model reveals a mismatch between the sustainability goals and the expansion plans of renewable and green H 2 for Spain and Portugal. [Display omitted] • Mathematical Programming to analyse green hydrogen production in the MIBEL. • Influence of the electricity market on hydrogen production and prices. • Generating green hydrogen is preferable to hydro pumping. • Green hydrogen integration might entail additional emissions. • MIBEL hydrogen strategy must be revised to achieve sustainability.
