Samenvatting:
Increasingly people think of how a hydrogen energy supply system would look like, and how to build and end up at such a system. This paper
presents the work on modelling and simulation of current ideas among Dutch hydrogen stakeholders for a transition towards the widespread
use of a hydrogen energy. Based mainly on economic considerations, the ideas about a transition seem viable. It appears that following the
introduction of hydrogen in niche applications, the use of locally produced hydrogen from natural gas in stationary and mobile applications
can yield an economic advantage when compared to the conventional system, and can thus generate a demand for hydrogen. The demand for
hydrogen can develop to such an extent that the construction of a large-scale hydrogen pipeline infrastructure for the transport and distribution of
hydrogen produced in large-scale production facilities becomes economically viable. In 2050, the economic viability of a large-scale hydrogen
pipeline infrastructure spreads over 20–25 of the 40 regions in which The Netherlands is divided for modelling purposes. Investments in
hydrogen pipelines for a fully developed hydrogen infrastructure are estimated to be in the range of 12,000–20,000 million euros.
