ABSTRACT: This study aims to present a novel methodology to assess future potential location of hydrogen refueling stations (HRS), involving geospatial and levelized costs of hydrogen (LCOH) analyses. This methodology entails five stages and was developed and applied to mainland Portugal. It can be used in other regions or countries. In this study, a total of 708 potential locations for different HRS were ident...
ABSTRACT: This works presents the first maps of the prospectivity of natural hydrogen in continental Portugal and the methodological approach undertaken. The methodology used in this study follows the Chance of Sufficiency (COS) approach, which is also sometimes referred as the Chance of Success in exploration geoscience. It is a probabilistic estimate of whether a geological prospect contains a resource (e.g.,...

ABSTRACT: This document describes the methodology used for the implementation of the LNEG-LCOH tool version 01.2024, the description of the modules, including examples of use and reference values. The purpose of the LNEG-LCOH - Levelised Cost of Hydrogen Calculator (LNEG-LCOH Tool) is to provide a free service for the quick estimation of costs over different components of the hydrogen’s value chain. The tool is...
ABSTRACT: This work presents a numerical investigation of a novel control system for a new hybrid wave-wind energy floating platform. It comprises the design of a control system for controlling the variable pneumatic chamber volumes coupled with the hydrodynamics of the floating platform to maximise wave power production. The numerical model is developed in the object-oriented non-casual language Modelica, for ...
ABSTRACT: his work presents an integrated numerical modelling approach implemented in Modelica language, which combines a multipurpose wave energy floating platform made of multiple oscillating water columns and the production and storage of green hydrogen in the same platform. The modelling approach comprised the simulation of the platform in WAMIT from which the hydrodynamic coefficients were obtained that se...
ABSTRACT: The work presents the process of model design and testing and the experimental results for the OctaPlat, a new wave energy floating platform, conceived at IST/ULisboa. A physical model was designed on the basis of the Octaplat concept, which comprises five oscillating water columns (OWCs). The physical model design considered only three of the five OWCs due to infrastructure constraints and was made o...
ABSTRACT: Portugal has a vast coastal area and significant offshore wind resources. The country has set ambitious targets and designated specific areas for offshore wind development. Current national policies are actively encouraging investment in these projects. This report compiles the latest strategies for offshore wind and green hydrogen in Portugal. It introduces the Power-to-X (P2X) concept, explores pote...
ABSTRACT: This work focuses on the techno-economic analysis of a novel floating offshore hybrid wind-wave platform. Floating multi-purpose platforms can potentially reduce costs associated with floating offshore wind. This work is based on the OctaPlat, a barge-type hybrid wind-wave floating platform designed at Instituto Superior Técnico, University of Lisbon. The paper presents the concept and numerical model...
RESUMO: O Hidrogénio (H2) Verde perspetiva-se como um vetor energético indispensável para alcançar a neutralidade carbónica em 2050, porém a economia deste vetor está em desenvolvimento e os agentes económicos precisam de fontes de informação confiáveis e ajustadas ao contexto nacional e Europeu. Neste sentido, o LNEG desenvolve investigação em vários domínios relacionados com o H2 verde, desde o estudo e desen...
