This RED project, focused on optimizing the potential supply chain of hydrogen, was funded by the Government of Spain (Ministry of Industry) and included researchers at MIT and the Zaragoza Logistics Center through the MIT SCALE Network. The research was developed in direct collaboration with Acciona Energy, the world’s largest developer of wind parks and third-largest operator of wind energy.
We developed a comprehensive decision support model – utilizing principles from the commercial supply chain, systems engineering, and operations research – to optimize delivery of hydrogen produced by wind power through electrolysis. We applied the model to various future scenarios to inform strategic evaluation of various technologies for the production, storage, and distribution of hydrogen and assess infrastructure development as a phased rollout.
