Analytical modeling for electrolytic, thermal, and hybrid hydrogen production pathways. Work spans stack-level physics, plant-level integration, carbon intensity, and boundary framing for early-stage hydrogen systems.
Scope of Work
- Electrolysis TEA structures (SOEC, PEM)
- SMR + CCS TEA/LCA boundary definition
- Energy-integration evaluation (heat recovery, thermal coupling)
- Hydrogen compression, storage, and delivery considerations
- Stack-level vs plant-level scaling logic
Modeling Approach
-
Electrolyzer Cost & Degradation Behavior Structuring models that separate stack manufacturing cost from balance-of-plant considerations.
-
Thermal/Energy Integration Capturing the consequences of heat availability, load-following, and operating temperature on cost and emissions.
-
Boundary Definition Across H₂ Pathways Transparent framing of upstream electricity, natural gas, water, and CO₂ sources.
-
Scenario Analysis Structured comparison of electrolysis under differing grid mixes, capacity factors, and demand profiles.
