Abstract
In this work, the technical and economical feasibility for implementing a hypothetical electrolytic hydrogen production plant, powered by electrical energy generated by alternative renewable power sources, wind and solar, and conventional hydroelectricity, was studied mainly trough the analysis of the wind and solar energy potentials for the northeast of Brazil. The hydrogen produced would be exported to countries which do not presently have significant renewable energy sources, but are willing to introduce those sources in their energy system. Hydrogen production was evaluated to be around 56.26Â ÃÂ 106Â m3Â H2/yr at a cost of 10.3Â US$/kg.
