Abstract
As the global community transitions towards decarbonization and sustainable energy, green hydrogen is emerging as a key clean energy carrier. This paper addresses the role of hydrogen in transportation, emphasizing the European Union's additionality principle for renewable energy sources in green hydrogen production. It introduces a model for optimally designing hydrogen fueling stations, considering electrolyzers, hydrogen storage, fuel cells, PV systems, and batteries. This model also considers the participation in electricity (energy and secondary reserve), hydrogen, and oxygen markets, and it is evaluated under different additionality policy scenarios. Results indicate that stricter additionality policies reduce the internal rate of return. However, participation in secondary reserve markets significantly boosts operational revenues and compensates for higher investment costs. © 2024 IEEE.

Abstract
The literature on the isothermal model gas flow is extensive, but the effect of temperature variation on the hydraulic characteristics has been rarely addressed. Additionally, the impact of hydrogen blending on the thermal condition of NG pipelines is also an emergent topic that requires new approaches to the gas flow problem formulation and resolution. In this paper, a model for the gas flow problem was developed to optimise the operation of natural gas distribution networks with hydrogen injection while maintaining pressure, gas flows, and gas quality indexes within admissible limits. The goal is to maximise the injection of hydrogen and investigate the influences of thermal variations in the gas blending. Also, this model enables the calculation of the maximum permitted volume of hydrogen in the network, quantifying the total savings in natural gas usage and carbon dioxide emissions in different temperature conditions.

Abstract
Green ammonia production stands as a pivotal component in the transition towards sustainable energy and agriculture, poised to revolutionize numerous industries. This paper presents an optimization control framework for industrial green ammonia fuel hubs to engage in electricity, hydrogen, and oxygen markets, addressing both economic and technical considerations. By evaluating scenarios with and without battery storage, this study demonstrates the potential for increased profitability and energy independence through secondary reserve market participation, alongside insights into the economic viability of photovoltaic investments. These findings underscore the importance of considering market dynamics and technological integration in the sustainable operation of green ammonia production hubs.
