Abstract

Producing green hydrogen (H2) with solar and wind energy as main sources is one of the main objectives in Colombia's national strategy for decarbonizing the national energy mix. This contribution studies the role of solar and wind H2 projects in the Colombian energy mix to meet the H2 demand for 2030, 2040 and 2050 established on the national H2 strategy for different scenarios. For creating each scenario, different parameters such as installed capacity of each technology, the resource-to-H2 efficiency and distribution of the electricity produced to generate H2 (DH2) were varied. Particularly in Scenario 3, which assumed a DH2of 16.7 %, the solar and wind capacities will need to be 204,749 MW and 88,970 MW, respectively. This scenario was identified as a route to achieve the yearly goal proposed in Colombia's national strategy. This work exposes the implications that H2 demand exerts on electricity supply and project installations from renewable sources, and is an approach to the green H2 requirements within the Colombian context.
