| Abstract: | The present work sheds light on the green hydrogen future in Morocco. A detailed techno-economic assessment and evaluation of a hydrogen refuelling station powered by an on-grid photovoltaic system are presented and discussed. This station is designed to supply the fleet of taxis in a Moroccan city by assuming different scenarios to replace the current taxi system with fuel-cell electric vehicles. A model is proposed to estimate the daily demand for hydrogen, which is used to determine the sizing of the station's components. An economic analysis is then conducted to calculate the cost of hydrogen production. The technical results demonstrate that about 152 kg/day is required to supply the total fleet, while only 30.4 kg/day is enough to provide 20%. It is also found that the costs of hydrogen produced are inversely proportional to the capacity of the hydrogen refuelling station, and the hydrogen cost is about 9.18 $/kg for the larger station and 12.56 $/kg for the smaller one. The proposed system offers an attractive solution to enhance the country's development and reduce the consumption of hydrocarbon fuels. |
