H2H Smart Engine

Optimizing the Future of Green Hydrogen and its Derivatives (PtX)

The H2H Smart Engine is an advanced techno-economic optimization tool designed to minimize the Levelized Cost of Hydrogen (LCOH) and its derivatives (PtX). This model enables the determination of optimal capacities for renewable energy parks, electrolyzers, storage systems, and transportation methods, specifically tailored to hydrogen demand and geographic characteristics of each location.

🔍 Key Input Parameters:

Resumen_Ing

  • Renewable resource availability
  • Hydrogen demand scale
  • Transportation distances
  • Project timelines
  • Economic incentives and tax structures
  • Financing structures
  • Technological cost projections
  • Contractual characteristics and penalties for unmet demand
  • Technical constraints (transport capacity, storage limits, etc.)

🎯 Optimizing the Levelized Cost of Hydrogen (LCOH/LCOX):

The primary goal of the H2H Smart Engine is to optimize the Levelized Cost of Hydrogen (LCOH) or its equivalent vector LCOX. This key indicator measures the unit cost of hydrogen over the project's lifespan, considering both Capital Expenditures (CAPEX) and Operational Expenditures (OPEX).

The model allows for:

  • Evaluating different technologies and locations to identify the most cost-effective option.
  • Comparing alternatives with and without additional costs for storage, transportation, and distribution.
  • Including reinvestments, technical and operational constraints, and incentives—consolidating all factors into a single representative value.
  • Determining the most suitable hydrogen vector and transportation method for each specific application.

🌎 Macro-Regional Analysis:

One of the distinctive capabilities of the H2H Smart Engine is its ability to perform large-scale analyses, identifying optimal areas for PtX project development, even at the country or regional level. This represents a strategic advantage for:

  • Developers → Facilitating land scouting and optimizing project planning.
  • Authorities and policymakers → Identifying key areas to promote public policies and strategic investments in renewable energy and infrastructure.
