Abstract
Meeting the European Union’s climate targets demands timely and substantial carbon emission reductions. Hydrogen has emerged as a key solution for decarbonizing hard-to-abate industries. However, large-scale deployment requires a systematic approach to identify the optimal hydrogen distribution across sectors. Addressing this challenge, we propose a multi-period, multi-objective optimization framework that focuses on carbon emission mitigation and cost optimization in the European Union. Our model determines the optimal locations for production, transport, and storage infrastructure, while allocating hydrogen to various sectors based on their respective country- and sector-specific emission mitigation potentials. In addition, we incorporate carbon emissions from multiple production, transport, and storage pathways by accounting for each country's unique electricity grid, reflecting the diverse carbon intensities of hydrogen supply. Furthermore, we consider spatially and temporally resolved renewable energy potentials to capture seasonal variability that influences production and storage decisions. By quantifying the trade-offs between cost and emissions, our results identify the optimal timing and locations for hydrogen infrastructure deployment, as well as the regions and sectors that should be prioritized to maximize decarbonization impact.
