Abstract:
This work studies the production of green hydrogen for the steelmaking industry using offshore wind energy. It reviews the main existing and developing technology for the production, storage, transport and use of green hydrogen. It also examines the history and current state of policy making on green hydrogen. It the proposes a possible configuration for the green hydrogen value chain from its production to its end-use in the steelmaking industry. Finally, it defines the main challenges observed in such a configuration and makes recommendations for future policy making.
