Economical study for hydrogen production from seawater using renewable energy in Egypt

Abstract

This study looks into the possibilities of hydrogen production in the north coast and red-sea Zone, Egypt, to conver renewable energy to hydrogen (power to gas). The main purpose is to estimate the power needed for each kg of hydrogen production from seawater using renewable energy and then the quantity of desalinated seawater needed to cover this cost. We will discuss different scenarios; the main two scenarios are photovoltaic (PV) solar with reverse osmosis (RO) desalination and concentrating solar power (CSP) with multi-effect desalination (MED).
