Abstract
- To achieve carbon neutrality by 2050, Malaysian government has identified green hydrogen (H<subscript>2</subscript>) as one of the potential energy sources. However, the high production cost of green H<subscript>2</subscript> and technical complications of H<subscript>2</subscript> storage conditions for distribution undermines the strategic framework of the H2 roadmap in Malaysia. The lack of investments in pre-requisite support infrastructure for the H<subscript>2</subscript> production, conversion, and storage technologies impedes the progress of the H<subscript>2</subscript> economy in Malaysia. Recently, ammonia (NH<subscript>3</subscript>) has emerged as a promising carbon-free energy carrier due to its increased ease and safety during transportation and storage. There is limited literature regarding the inclusion of an NH<subscript>3</subscript> synthesis and storage loop in green H<subscript>2</subscript> supply chains. This research proposes a systematic approach for the techno-economic evaluation of green H<subscript>2</subscript> supply chains with green NH<subscript>3</subscript> as a clean energy carrier of H<subscript>2</subscript> storage and distribution. A superstructure-based mathematical optimisation model was developed to synthesise the optimum supply chain network configuration for a given optimisation objective. A case study is solved to illustrate the proposed model. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
