Being the main objective of HYDEA to boost the hydrogen transition in the Atlantic Area ports, the project is tasked to develop a decision support tool for hydrogen applications in ports. This tool will ultimately support future decision-making and the evaluation of individual hydrogen technologies in different scenarios. It will be developed using data and conclusions gathered from the technical, economic, environmental and societal assessment of different case studies in the Atlantic Area.
The consortium have outlined the case studies of interest for each of the HYDEA ports. This deliverable sets a starting point for the selection process of case studies. As a result, each partner has settled for a case study, based on the partner´s expertise and the port of application’s interest.
This framework aims to provide a standardized structure that ensures all critical topics are addressed in the case studies. Ultimately, the information gathered will feed the decision support tool, hence the importance of consistency in their content. This framework is developed in agreement with the tool developer partner – University of Galway – to ensure that the visions are aligned.
