Özet:
The paper has evaluated hydrogen transportation in Konya/Türkiye. The evaluation included km, population, consumption, and economic perspectives. Three points have been chosen for transportation consideration, which are pipelines, cryogenic tankers, and tube trailers, due to geographical limitations. The economic perspective includes both investment and operational costs for these methods. Konya has all kinds of consumption, which makes it a great candidate for the article. There are 31 districts in Konya, and three of them are in the city centre. Cryogenic tankers have come forward at 16 districts for investment cost, and 12 districts are better operated by tube trailers for investment cost perspective. The entire city other than the city centre is better operated by cryogenic tankers from an operational cost perspective because their technology gives them a big advantage. The three districts have been left out to be supported by pipelines, since the population density is high and industrial demand is big. The city has provided a big part of their energy demand from green energy so far, and they have plans to go further with this ecological advancement. Even though green energy solutions are not working stably, they need support for this problem. Hydrogen is a great candidate for this problem, which can store extra energy during high production and release it when it is lower to the system. The total result is that even though pipelines can carry out massive volumes, they are not needed for now, and the places can be powered up with cryogenic tankers and tube trailers. Cryogenic tankers are the best from an operational cost perspective, and the closest tube trailer costs at least three times as much as cryogenic operation. Tube trailers are advantageous for investment costs in some districts, which means they can begin earlier to use hydrogen with less investment.
