Abstract

The wind map of the province of Córdoba, Argentina is improved starting from new wind measurements of ten meteorological stations installed in the province, whose equipment meets international standards for wind measurements. This correction is made on the basis of GIS Ordinary Cokriging interpolation method along with other wind global data basis. From the new wind GIS, a map of potential for annual production of electrolytic hydrogen from wind energy is performed and the required demand for generating mixtures of hydrogen to 20% V/V with natural gas, within CNG stations, is calculated. This clean alternative fuel is proposed as a hybrid technology for progressive transition to a hydrogen economy in Córdoba, and in Argentina. Hydrogen delivery costs are estimated considering gas modules transported by trucks taking into account optimization of routes solving numerically the capacitated vehicle routing problem. The total cost for hydrogen including production and delivery is estimated to be 9.41 USD/kg H2.
