Abstract:
The climatic emergency that involves the globe has led targets of greenhouse gas reduction in the EU and all over the world. In this scenario, recent advances in renewable renewable energy sources (RESs) have focused interest on the diffusion of power supplies that are produced by photovoltaic and wind plants. The non-programmable nature of these energy sources has led recent studies to consider the power-to-gas (P2G) solution as an opportunity for employing the curtailed electric energy by converting it into hydrogen. The localizations of P2G plants depend on several factors regarding power p

Abstract:
The recent diffusion of RES (Renewable Energy Sources), considering the electric energy produced by photovoltaic and wind plants, brought to light the problem of the unpredictable nature of wind and solar energy. P2G (Power to Gas) implementation seems to be the right solution, transforming curtailed energy in hydrogen. The choice of the settlement of P2G plants is linked to many factors like the distances between the gas grid and the settlement of RES plants, the transportation networks, the energy production, and population distribution. In light of this, the implementation of a Multi-Criter
