RES-electrolyser Coupling witin TRIERES Hydrogen Valley - A Flexible Technoeconomic Assessment Tool
Jan 2025
Publication
The escalating urgency to address climate change has sparked unprecedented interest in green hydrogen as a clean energy carrier. The intermittent nature of Renewable Energy Sources (RES) like wind and solar can introduce unpredictability into the energy supply potentially causing mismatches in the power grid. To this end green hydrogen production can provide a solution by enhancing system flexibility thereby accommodating the fluctuations and st Read More
Production and Storage of Hydrogen from Biomass and Other Sources: Technologies and Policies
Jan 2025
Publication
Hydrogen has emerged as a critical energy carrier for achieving global decarbonization and supporting a sustainable energy future. This review explores key advancements in hydrogen production technologies including electrolysis biomass gasification and thermochemical processes alongside innovations in storage methods like metal hydrides and liquid organic hydrogen carriers (LOHCs). Despite its promise challenges such as high production costs sc Read More
Socio-Economic Impact Assessment of Hydrogen Injection in the Natural Gas Network
Feb 2025
Publication
This study explores the feasibility parameters of a potential investment plan for injecting “green” hydrogen into the existing natural gas supply network in Greece. To this end a preliminary profitability optimization analysis was conducted through key performance indicators such as the cost of hydrogen and the socio-environmental benefit of carbon savings followed by break-even and sensitivity analyses. The identification of the major impact drivers of th Read More
The Potential Role of Africa in Green Hydrogen Production: A Short-Term Roadmap to Protect the World’s Future from Climate Crisis
Feb 2025
Publication
The global need for energy has risen sharply recently. A global shift to clean energy is urgently needed to avoid catastrophic climate impacts. Hydrogen (H2) has emerged as a potential alternative energy source with near-net-zero emissions. In the African continent for sustainable access to clean energy and the transition away from fossil fuels this paper presents a new approach through which waste energy can produce green hydrogen from biomass. Bio- Read More
Integrating Sustainability in Aircraft Component Design: Towards a Transition from Eco-Driven to Sustainability-Driven Design
Feb 2025
Publication
Eco-design is an innovative design methodology that focuses on minimizing the environmental footprint of industries including aviation right from the conceptual and development stages. However rising industrial demand calls for a more comprehensive strategy wherein beyond environmental considerations competitiveness becomes a critical factor supported by additional pillars of sustainability such as economic viability circularity and Read More
Towards Sustainable Energy Independence: A Case Study of Green Hydrogen as Seasonal Storage Integration in a Small Island
Mar 2025
Publication
Tilos a Greek island in the Mediterranean Sea hosts a pioneering hybrid energy system combining an 800-kW wind turbine and a 160-kWp photovoltaic (PV) field. The predominance of wind power makes the energy production of the island almost constant during the year while the consumption peaks in summer in correspondence with the tourist season. If the island wants to achieve complete selfsufficiency seasonal storage becomes compulsory. This study Read More

The decarbonization of the maritime sector represents a priority in the energy policy agendas of the majority of Countries worldwide and the International Maritime Organization (IMO) has recently revised its strategy aiming for an ambitious zero-emissions scenario by 2050. In these regards there is a broad consensus on hydrogen as one of the most promising clean energy vectors for maritime transport and a key towards that goal. However to date a Read More
