Abstract
This presentation focuses on the decentralized structure of a dual-sourcing hydrogen supply chain exposed to disruption risk in renewable electricity supply. We model strategic interactions between a hydrogen producer relying on renewable energy and a backup supplier using fossil fuels, with logistics support from a third-party transporter. A game-theoretic framework is used to analyze how the primary company reacts to uncertainty through proactive and reactive sourcing strategies. Key findings reveal that despite economic volatility, the decentralized system exhibits high flexibility and changeability, enabling early responses to disruption. The model also identifies a critical disruption threshold at which the producer shifts from single to dual sourcing, offering managerial insight into supply chain design under uncertainty. This work contributes to understanding how decentralized decision-making can support resilient energy transitions when central coordination is not feasible.
