Researchers have implemented a multicriteria analysis framework for identifying optimal sites for solar green hydrogen production along Egypt's Northwestern coast. This framework utilizes Geographic Information System (GIS) tools to assess solar irradiance, land availability, proximity to water sources, and existing infrastructure.
Key factors such as water resource accessibility, especially seawater for electrolysis, and infrastructure readiness including electrical grids and transportation networks are crucial for feasibility. Economic aspects, including land acquisition and potential government incentives, are also evaluated.
The strategic location of the Northwestern coast enhances Egypt's position in the green hydrogen export market, particularly to the EU. The study's findings could facilitate regional cooperation, aligning North Africa's solar resources with European decarbonization efforts.
