MULTICRITERIA MODEL FOR EVALUATING GREEN HYDROGEN PRODUCTION ROUTES

The implementation of an experimental green hydrogen plant requires deciding, right in the pilot phase, which technological routes offer the best economic return and the greatest socio-environmental benefit. Thus, this study aims to apply a multicriteria model of decision support, with the FITradeoff method, to prioritize nine alternatives, from ammonia to sustainable kerosene, evaluated by five criteria: Economic feasibility, market demand, technical feasibility, sustainability and logistical ease. A numerical application was made to validate the model. The ranking positioned green steel, green methanol, fuel cell electricity and green ammonia as ideal initial investments, utilizing 81% of a $5,000,000 budget. The sensitivity analysis validated the robustness of the model, offering concrete subsidies for the economically and socially responsible expansion of the plant
