System Supply Chain Model

Finished Projects | Power-2-Integrate

VoltaChem, together with partners from the VoltaChem Business Community, developed an easy-to-use and expandable model for comparing international supply chains for renewable energy carriers.

Context

The potential of the roles that sustainable energy carriers, such as ammonia and hydrogen, could play in the Dutch industry is growing. And with that grows the need to understand the distribution of costs and benefits throughout the global supply chains of these energy carriers.

It is unclear what the future sweet spots for production of chemicals will be globally and how the supply chains will evolve when new technologies mature. Accessible insights regarding the economics of supply chains are required to take well-informed decisions. This also allows for minimizing risks whilst developing individual and collective long-term plans. In addition, it supports establishing new strategic relationships with critical supply chain stakeholders.

Objective

Support strategic decision making of the industry, energy, and infrastructure sector by delivering an easy-to-use and expandable model. In this model, the most relevant features to compare international supply chains for renewable energy carriers (e.g. LH₂, NH₃, LOHC) are included.

Results

The scan of high-potential production locations provided insights on probable supply chain designs in the future. In 2021, the capabilities of the model are extended even further.
