Abstract
A mathematical programming approach is developed to optimize the hydrogen supply chain in Midi-Pyrénées, the largest region of France. The aim of this study is to use a Geographical Information System (GIS) as a new tool for multi-criteria decision making after multiobjective optimization step. To have a more precise snapshot of the results obtained, the map is confronted with the one constructed with ArcGis® that contains all the geographic and demographic data of the region. This study focuses on the need to take into account such geographic data so that the various facilities can really be positioned: the results show that the production centers (small, medium and large) and the refueling stations are near as possible to the main road. This post-optimization step allows analyzing the feasible and the best solutions considering geographic criteria.
