Criterion

Abbrev Group Criterion Description Buffers

  • Abbrev: O_RENEWBL

  • Group: On-site production

  • Criterion: Proximity to existing wind and solar farms (access to renewable energy sources for on-site hydrogen production) The ideal would be to make the energy come from a green source. The current gird is not entirely green.

  • Description: Should developers want to perform electrolysis on site they will need more fuel. Proximity to power plants will make this easier.

  • Buffers:

  • < 500 m (10)

  • 500m – 1 km (8)

  • 1 - 5 km (6)

  • 5 - 10 km (4)

  • 10 km (2)
