Build your hydrogen valley in 8 steps
Follow the path from left to right. Click a step to see what it is about, or let the guided tour take you through every page.
Start here
HTP Tool lets you design a hydrogen valley: from renewable power to H₂ production, storage, transport and end uses — and see if it pays off.
- Read what the tool does
- Start the guided tour
Create your project
A scenario is an independent project with its own modules and results. Give it a name and pick its base location: every map will open there.
- Create or rename a scenario
- Set the project base location on the map
Set the global assumptions
Economic parameters shared by every module: inflation, discount rate, analysis horizon, energy prices…
- Review the default assumptions
- Adapt them to your country / project
Define the demand
Decide how the hydrogen will be used: refuelling stations, fuel cells, heat & power, gas-grid blending… The demand sizes the rest of the chain.
- Pick an application
- Describe the consumers and simulate
Produce the hydrogen
Add the renewable plants (PV, wind…) and the electrolyzer that turns their electricity into hydrogen.
- Add PV / wind plants
- Configure the electrolyzer and simulate
Buffer supply and demand
Production and consumption rarely happen at the same hour. Size the storage that bridges the gap.
- Link your production
- Let the tool size the vessel
Bring H₂ to its users
Connect production and consumption by pipeline or by tube trailers, and get the cost of moving each kilo.
- Choose pipeline or tube trailers
- Link source and destination
Review your H₂ valley
See the whole valley at once: map, hydrogen balance, costs and the cash flow of the scenario.
- Check the H₂ balance
- Compare costs and cash flow
Start to simulate your H2 valley
What you can model
Link each step to the next and the tool balances hydrogen hour by hour across the whole valley — from the sun and wind to the vehicle or the factory.
Renewable power
Solar PV and wind plants sized at your site, with their hourly production and LCOE.
Hydrogen production
PEM, alkaline, AEM and SOEC electrolysers: hourly dispatch, degradation and LCOH.
Storage
Compressed, liquid and metal-hydride storage, auto-sized to match supply and demand.
Transport
Pipelines and tube-trailer fleets with routes, trips and buffers planned for you.
End uses
Refuelling stations, fuel cells, CHP, gas-grid blending and industrial demand.
Economics
CAPEX, OPEX, cash flows, subsidies and financing for every part of the valley.
FHA research & innovation projects
The tool draws on Fundación Hidrógeno Aragón's work in European and national projects. Explore them by area.
