Our team recently shared a new modeling approach at CCUS Latin America 2025 that integrates hydrogen and CO₂ infrastructure planning. The poster, led by Juan Carlos Duque, Qasim Mehdi, and partners at GTI Energy, focuses on Appalachia—using a mixed-integer linear programming model to optimize where hydrogen is produced and stored, where CO₂ is captured, and how to connect everything through shared infrastructure.
This kind of joint planning can reduce costs, improve system performance, and accelerate decarbonization across energy-intensive sectors. It also offers a flexible blueprint for other regions looking to make hydrogen a practical part of their climate strategy.
