Wu, Y., Zhong, L. Decarbonizing urban residential communities with green hydrogen systems. Nat Cities

Objective:

• Introduce a bottom-up energy model linking climate, human behaviour, community archetypes and energy system models, aiming to ensure cost-effective deployment pathways of community green hydrogen systems for highly diverse urban residential communities

Case:

• USA and Canada

Methodology:

• Bottom-up energy model (Climate-human model)

Data Source

• Climate data
• Energy

Findings:

• Climate and human uncertainties show a more uneven and significant effect on the energy demand side rather than on the energy production side

• Cities in higher tiers exhibited higher HUEs, which a decrease as the tier lowered

• Cities in the southeastern coastal area of China featured the highest HUEs

• Subdistricts located in the center layer generally featured the lowest average HUEs across China; with an increase in spatial distance to the city center
