Abstract

The textile sector is one of the most complex industries, with a substantial share of its energy consumption as heat. Despite growing interest in renewable energy, limited studies focus on hydrogen production systems tailored for energy-intensive industries like textiles. Blending natural gas with hydrogen in combustion processes can reduce natural gas consumption significantly. This study introduces and evaluate a novel layout based on hybrid wind-solar energy for green hydrogen production. This layout was optimized using evolutionary programming, and its performance was evaluated from energy, economics, and environmental for different regions of Iran. The results showed the suggested layout in Iran has benefit to reduce annual carbon dioxide emissions by 18.4 tonnes/yr compared to conventional natural gas-based systems. Additionally, the adoption of hybrid technologies, in most cases, decreased the Levelized cost of hydrogen. Economically, the cost of produced hydrogen and the heat consumed were in the ranges of 4.9–5.9 $/kg and 14.5–16.4 $/MWh-th, respectively. Overall, this assessment showed developing such a layout has significant environmental benefits. However, current policies in Iran, including low fossil fuel costs and lacking incentive policies, can't make the development of such systems feasible in fossil fuel-dependent countries like Iran.
