Life cycle analysis of hydrogen – A well-to-wheels analysis for Portugal

A life cycle analysis of hydrogen is presented involving several processes of H₂ production. The main goal was to adapt the GREET 1.8c model in order to represent the European reality and more specifically the Portuguese energy sector. GEMIS model was used in order to obtain energy consumption and pollutant emissions related to the production of photovoltaic panels and wind towers, since GREET model consider zero emissions in renewable technologies. The integration between these two models generated MACV2H₂ model that was calibrated.
