Resumen:
The potential for hydrogen production from wind resources in the province of Co´ rdoba,
second consumer of fossil fuels for transportation in Argentina, is analyzed. Three aspects
of the problem are considered: the evaluation of the hydrogen resource from wind power,
the analysis of the production costs via electrolysis and the annual requirements of wind
energy to generate hydrogen to fuel the vehicular transport of the province. Different
scenarios were considered, including pure hydrogen as well as the so-called CNG plus,
where hydrogen is mixed with compressed natural gas in a 20% V/V dilution of the former.
The potential for hydrogen production from wind resources is analyzed for each department
of the province, excluding those regions not suited for wind farms. The analysis takes
into account the efficiency of the electrolyzer and the capacity factor of the wind power
system. It is concluded that the automotive transportation could be supplied by hydrogen
stemming from wind resources via electrolysis.
