This thesis deals with the techno-economic and environmental analysis of the use of green hydrogen in the automotive industry. Green hydrogen is now a promising alternative fuel source that is going to limit or even replace conventional fuels, and consequently eliminate greenhouse gas emissions. So as to complete the reduction of the automotive industry's subject to the problem of climate change.The environmental analysis focuses on the ecological advantages of using green hydrogen, such as the elimination of CO2 emissions and other harmful gases. In addition, the process of green hydrogen production with the contribution of renewable energy sources is analyzed, and then the results of theeffect of green hydrogen on air quality, noise pollution reduction and aerodynamics of the automotive industry are reported.The techno-economic analysis focuses on assessing the viability of green hydrogen technology in the automotive industry. The production possibilities and the necessary infrastructures for the storage and distribution of green hydrogen under certain conditions are analyzed. In addition, the competition of green hydrogen technology against conventional fuels and other alternatives is assessed.Through techno-economic and environmental analysis, the paper provides an overview of the prospects but also of the particular challenges to be managed by the relevant actors in order to make the most of green hydrogen technology in the automotive industry, thus promoting the transition to more sustainable and clean energy solutions.
