| dc.description.abstract | ABSTRACT: The National Laboratory for Energy and Geology (LNEG) presents the first version of the LNEG-H2PTMap Tool, available through the LNEG GeoPortal. This free geospatial calculator enables the rapid estimation of the Levelised Cost of Hydrogen (LCOH) across the 278 municipalities of mainland Portugal. The tool integrates the costs of green hydrogen production with the main components of its value chain applicable to the transport and industrial sectors, including storage and distribution to the end user, enabling flexible analyses based on up-to-date reference parameters and local conditions. The LNEG-H2PTMap Tool was developed under the “H₂ Cost Geospatial Simulator” initiative within the framework of the PRR Agenda M-ECO2. This report describes the methodological approach adopted for the development of the tool, including its cost calculation framework, data sources, assumptions, and implementation. Unlike other hydrogen cost assessment tools, such as the European Hydrogen Observatory's LCOH Calculator, which primarily provide estimates based on country-level datasets, the LNEG-H2PTMap Tool enables the estimation of levelised hydrogen costs at the municipal level throughout mainland Portugal. To the best of the authors' knowledge, no publicly available tool currently provides municipality-level levelised hydrogen cost estimates covering all municipalities of mainland Portugal. This finer geographical resolution enables the incorporation of spatial variations in key cost determinants, including renewable electricity availability and costs, water sourcing and treatment requirements, and hydrogen transportation distances. Consequently, the tool can reveal cost differences between municipalities that may be obscured when using national or regional averages, thereby supporting more informed investment, planning, and policy decisions. By capturing these spatial variations at the municipal scale, the tool addresses a concrete need identified by industry stakeholders, investors, researchers, and policymakers for a practical, transparent, and evidence-based decision-support instrument. The LNEG-H2PTMap Tool facilitates the identification of cost-competitive locations for green hydrogen production, storage, and distribution, thereby supporting strategic planning and contributing to the accelerated, efficient, and targeted deployment of the green hydrogen economy in Portugal. | eng |
