This study conducts a techno-economic analysis and life-cycle assessment of green hydrogen production using renewable-powered MOF-enhanced alkaline water electrolyzers, with Uzbekistan as a case. The MOF-enhanced system achieves lower levelized cost ($5.18/kg H2) and reduces GWP by 80-83% vs. SMR. FCVs using this hydrogen emit 89% less CO2 per 100 km than diesel, highlighting green hydrogen's potential in Central Asia's energy transition.

📄 Abstract（原文）
Decarbonizing industry, improving urban sustainability, and expanding clean energy use are key global priorities. This study presents a techno-economic analysis (TEA) and life-cycle assessment (LCA) of green hydrogen (GH2) production via water electrolysis for low-carbon applications in the Central Asian region, with Uzbekistan considered as a representative case study. Solar PV and wind power are used as renewable electricity sources for a 44 MW electrolyzer. The assessment also incorporates recent advances in alkaline water electrolyzers (AWE) enhanced with metal–organic framework (MOF) materials, reflecting improvements in efficiency and hydrogen output. The LCA, performed using SimaPro, evaluates the global warming potential (GWP) across the full hydrogen production chain. Results show that the MOF-enhanced AWE system achieves a lower levelized cost of hydrogen (LCOH) at 5.18 $/kg H2, compared with 5.90 $/kg H2 for conventional AWE, with electricity procurement remaining the dominant cost driver. Environmentally, green hydrogen pathways reduce GWP by 80–83% relative to steam methane reforming (SMR), with AWE–MOF delivering the lowest footprint at 1.97 kg CO2/kg H2. In transport applications, fuel cell vehicles powered by hydrogen derived from AWE–MOF emit 89% less CO2 per 100 km than diesel vehicles and 83% less than using SMR-based hydrogen, demonstrating the substantial climate benefits of advanced electrolysis. Overall, the findings confirm that MOF-integrated AWE offers a strong balance of economic viability and environmental performance. The study highlights green hydrogen’s strategic role in the Central Asian region, represented by Uzbekistan’s energy transition, and provides evidence-based insights for guiding low-carbon hydrogen deployment.
