Harry Griffith from ILF Consulting Engineers discusses the International Energy Agency's target to produce 520 gigawatts of hydrogen via electrolyzers by 2030, noting that only about 4% has reached financial investment decision or construction. ILF leverages its extensive experience in the hydrogen value chain and focuses on enhancing techno-economic feasibility for power-to-X projects through system optimization and simulation. They are currently working on a green hydrogen and ammonia project in Oman, conducting an optimization study using tools like Plexos to model various architectures against key performance indicators (KPIs) such as cost per kilogram of production, capex requirements, and annual output. The team explores different scenarios for optimizing costs while meeting production targets effectively from early stages. This involves assessing architectural changes like relocating electrolyzers closer to renewable sources and phased implementation due to capital constraints. Iterative scenario analysis is emphasized before costly engineering work begins, helping identify design flaws early on—thereby reducing risks associated with later modifications—and ensuring technical feasibility alongside economic opportunities for cost reduction through comprehensive techno-economic assessments.
