| description | <p dir="ltr">This study explores the feasibility of solar-driven<u> hydrogen production</u> across six Palestinian cities—Ramallah, Jenin, Tulkarm, Hebron, Jericho, and Rafah—by evaluating hydrogen yield potential, associated CO<sub>2</sub> emissions reduction, and economic viability. Ramallah has the highest <u>hydrogen production</u> at 6.37 ± 0.22 kg/m<sup>2</sup>/year, while Jenin has the lowest at 5.51 ± 0.20 kg/m<sup>2</sup>/year, a 13.5 % difference. Other cities range from 5.80 to 6.10 kg/m<sup>2</sup>/year. Solar H<sub>2</sub> availability showed and excellent impact on CO<sub>2</sub> emissions reduction, Ramallah achieves the highest emissions reduction of 56.89 kg CO<sub>2</sub>/m<sup>2</sup>/year, whereas Jenin records the lowest at 49.22 kg CO<sub>2</sub>/m<sup>2</sup>/year. </p><p dir="ltr">The economic analysis indicates that the Levelized Cost of Hydrogen (LCOH) in Palestine is approximately $5/kg, higher than Egypt's $3.94/kg due to differences in system efficiency and solar conditions. The cost of CO<sub>2</sub> reduction in Palestine ranges from $394 to $500 per ton, making hydrogen adoption viable but investment intensive. Enhancing feasibility requires improved <u>electrolyzer</u> efficiency, hybrid solar-wind systems, and supportive policies like <u>carbon credits</u> and subsidies.</p><h2 dir="ltr">Other Information</h2><p dir="ltr">Published in: International Journal of Hydrogen Energy<br>License: <a href="http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/" target="_blank">http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/</a><br>See article on publisher's website: <a href="https://dx.doi.org/10.1016/j.ijhydene.2025.04.438" target="_blank">https://dx.doi.org/10.1016/j.ijhydene.2025.04.438</a></p> |
