The "Hydrogen Economic Activation Road map" was announced in 2019, and hydrogen demand is expected to exceed 470,000 tons per year in 2022 and keep increasing. Under this circumstance, it has become important to understand the greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions associated with various hydrogen production pathways. In this study, the evaluation of life cycle GHG emissions regarding the hydrogen produced as by-product from coke oven gas (COG) in steel mill is conducted. To cover the possible range of operations, three literatures were reviewed and their data of inputs and outputs for the process were adopted for calculation. Life cycle inventories and emission factors were mostly referred to GaBi and Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) guidelines, respectively. When there are multiple products from a single process, the energy allocation method was applied. Based on these sources and the assumptions, the life cycle emission values of COG-based hydrogen were found to be 3.8 to 4.7 kg/CO₂-eq./kg-H₂.

This project sought to conduct an economic feasibility study regarding the commercial production of bio-hydrogen by the marine hyperthermophilic archaeon, Thermococcus onnurineus NA1 using carbon monoxide-containing industrial off-gas. We carried out the economic evaluation of the bio-hydrogen production process using the raw material of steel mill by-product gas. The process parameter was as follows: $H_2$ production rate was 5.6 L/L/h; the conversion of carbon monoxide was 60.7%. This project established an evaluation criterion for about 10,000 tonne/year. Inflation factors were considered as 3%. The operating costs were recalculated based on prices in 2014. The total investment required for development was covered 30% by capital and 70% by a loan. The operation cost for the 0.5-year test and integration, and the cost for the first three months in the 50% production period were considered as the working capital in the cost estimation. The costs required for the rental of office space, facilities, and other related costs from the construction through to full-scale production periods were considered as continuing expenses. Materials, energy, waste disposal and other charges were considered as the operating cost of the development system. Depreciation, tax, maintenance and repair, insurance, labor, interest rate charges, general and administrative costs, lubrication and miscellaneous expenses were also calculated. The hydrogen price was set at US$ 4.15/kg for the economic evaluation. As a result, the process was considered to be economical with the payback period of 6.3 years, NPV of 18 billion Won and IRR of 26.7%.

화석연료를 사용하는 선박이나 자동차는 $CO_2$가스를 과대하게 발생하므로 지구 온난화에 영향을 주기 때문에 화석연료 대신 수소를 사용하는 수소연료전지자동차(FCV)가 크게 각광을 받고 있다. 우리나라는 현대자동차가 FCV자동차를 미국, 일본, 독일 등의 선진국들의 자동차회사와 경쟁적으로 개발하고 있다. 수소는 제철소의 코크스 공장, 서유화학공장의 부산물로 얻으며, 석탄, 메탄가스 등을 고온에서 증기와 반응시켜서 메탄 수증기개질법과 압력스윙흡착법 또는 막분리형멤브레인개질 법을 이용한 수소분리형개질방법으로 고순도 수소를 제조하거나 물을 전기분해하여 제조한다. 수소는 전자공업, 금속 및 화학공업, 로켓 연료 및 공장, 병원, 가정용 등의 연료전지시스템이나 FCV의 연료로 사용하고 있다. 수소의 저장은 수소용기에 수소를 압축하는 방법과 액화수소로 저장하는 방법이 일반적이고, 최근 수소화물이나 유기화학하이드라이드법으로 저장하여 수소스테이션에 운반해서 사용한다. 우리나라는 현재 13개소의 수소스테이션이 가동 중에 있으며, 향후 43개소를 설치할 계획이다.
