End-to-End Supply Chain Simulator

Simulate and Evaluate Hydrogen Supply Chain Scenarios

Simulate the complete hydrogen journey from production through storage, transportation to end-use application. This enables businesses to assess technical feasibility, economic viability, and GHG emissions.

This tool has pre-configured a Solar PV to Domestic Hydrogen Supply Chain Scenario. You can run the simulation using the default values, or customise the underlying parameters to fit your specific project.

Default Scenario: Oman Green Hydrogen Supply Chain

This tool features a pre-configured green hydrogen supply chain situated in Oman. The default scenario models the end-to-end journey starting with green hydrogen production via solar PV and water electrolysis. The hydrogen is then stored in underground salt caverns before being transported through repurposed natural gas pipelines. Finally, it reaches the end-use application for residential cooking and heating, enabling a comprehensive assessment of the greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions and Levelised Cost of Hydrogen (LCOH).
