Abstract:
The European Union's ambitious challenge to achieve climate neutrality by 2050 has led to the development of numerous projects at national and regional level to decarbonize society. One of the cornerstones of the transition to a renewable energy society is the use of waste biomass to produce hydrogen. Although these objectives have been defined at European, national, and regional level, studies at local level are needed to define the real availability of biomass and the possible value chains for its energy use. Thus, this study aims to propose a supply chain model for biomass energy production in Western Andalusia (Spain) based on the location-allocation methodology. The preliminary results show that biomass could provide an important support to guarantee the hydrogen demand in the area of study and minimize the impact of the variability of the set of renewable energies used together with electrolysis for hydrogen generation.
