TECHNICAL-ECONOMIC INVESTIGATION OF POTENTIAL OF PEM HYDROGEN TECHNOLOGY FOR DRIVING THE TRANSITION TO A LOWER CARBON PRODUCTION OF CHEMICAL INDUSTRY

Abstract

The article explores the economic potential of Proton Exchange Membrane (PEM)-based electrolysis hydrogen for transitioning enterprises from the chemical industry to low-carbon production. For this purpose, previous studies in this field were studied and specific calculations were made from an economic point of view, using statistical information, two-dimensional distributions and simulation of functional dependencies and financial calculations based on specialized software. With the results in the article, it was proved that there is no economic logic for hydrogen produced based on electrolysis with electricity from the grid to be used only to store energy. Additional calculations show that it is economically efficient for use in the technological processes of chemical industry enterprises.
