  Transitioning from Oil Export to Hydrogen via Solar, Wind, and HeCCGT
  Author(s): Abdulwahab Rawesat*, Gali Musa and Pericles Pilidis
  
  The analysis focuses on a decarbonization strategy for an oil-exporting country, emphasizing the transition to renewable energy sources through two key scenarios. A baseline is provided, showing individual results for three power generation technologies: solar, wind, and helium closed-cycle gas turbines (HeCCGT). Building on this baseline, the first key scenario explores the combined potential of solar and wind energy, with the H2CCGT (Mean hydrogen combined gas turbine) serving as a backup power generation source when solar and wind resources are unavailable. This scenario provides insights into the combined capacities of solar and wind, their land requirements, and the necessary infrastructure to support continuous energy supply and large-scale hydrogen production. The second scenario advances the analysis by integrating HeCCGT helium closed-cycle gas turbines with solar and wind po.. Read More»
