This study develops a techno-economic optimization framework for offshore hydrogen production using bio-nano catalysts. It achieves electrolysis efficiency exceeding 70% and hydrogen costs of $2.5–$4.5/kg, with modular scalability. Environm…

Cem Işık

This study introduces a Green Finance Index (GFINI) and uses Fourier-based econometric methods to analyze its impact on carbon emissions in the UK. A 1% increase in GFINI reduces per capita CO2 emissions by about 7.6%. Hydrogen R&D also red…

Taib Hasan, Prapti Das, M. Ali +3

This study designs and evaluates an off-grid hybrid renewable microgrid for coastal Bangladesh, integrating solar PV, wind, battery, electrolyzer, hydrogen storage, and fuel cells. Using HOMER Pro, three configurations are analyzed; the opt…
