Abstract
Hydrogen has been listed as one of the main energy alternatives to integrate the world energy matrix, with great relevance in the automotive sector. This integration aims to contribute for the reduction of global potential warming through global supply chains (SC) that support industrial processes using renewable energy sources. Hydrogen is an option with a high potential to mitigate environmental impacts caused by the current fossil fuels. Although it has benefits in environmental terms, there are no current infrastructures and does the design of such network requires high capital investment, being this the main barrier to the hydrogen economy development. It is then crucial to define a future hydrogen SC in an optimized way. Following this need, we propose a multi-objective, multi-period mathematical formulation for the design and planning of a hydrogen SC. A Mixed Integer Linear Programming (MILP) model is developed to determine the Hydrogen SC planning and operational decisions. The formulation minimizes cost and environmental impacts of the network. A case study in Portugal was explored.
