Abstract

This chapter presents the methods and tools classically used for hydrogen supply chain (HSC) design. The main issues addressed here involve the choice of the optimization strategy in mono and multiobjective frameworks, as well as decision-aid methods to find a tradeoff solution from the so-called Pareto front. Consecutive use of optimization and decision-making techniques can determine the type, number, and capacity of production plants, storage, and transportation units within a specific territorial breakdown. We also examine how the HSC design optimization framework can be linked with geographic information systems (GIS). Finally, we give some guidelines that can be useful for the practitioner.
