Economic and technical analysis of hydrogen production and transport: a case study of Egypt.
Article in Scientific reports, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
This study investigates the economic, technical, and logistical aspects of hydrogen production, with a particular focus on Egypt's potential to emerge as a global hydrogen leader. The research is motivated by Egypt's abundant renewable resources, strategic location, and increasing interest in hydrogen as a cornerstone of the energy transition. Using the Hydra simulation model developed in MATLAB/Simulink, the study evaluates the Levelized Cost of Hydrogen (LCOH) and Levelized Supply Costs of Hydrogen (LSCOH) across various scenarios, spanning from 2024 to 2050. These scenarios incorporate factors such as economic growth, technological advancements, energy policies, and infrastructure developments. Projections indicate that the hydrogen demand in Egypt is expected to reach 6.0 million tons by 2050, including both domestic consumption and export potential. Egypt's low hydrogen production costs (4.5/kg) and strategic location position it to meet growing domestic demand while supporting exports. Comparative analyses with countries including France, Italy, Saudi Arabia, the UAE, Libya, and Jordan highlight Egypt's competitive advantage, driven by its abundant solar and wind resources. The novel integration of LCOH and LSCOH methodologies, contextualized by Egypt's renewable energy potential, fills a critical gap in the literature and offers a comprehensive framework for evaluating hydrogen production and trade competitiveness. The findings emphasize the importance of robust policy frameworks, including substantial incentives for renewable energy projects, de-risking mechanisms, and measures to reduce transport costs, in realizing Egypt's hydrogen potential. Furthermore, the study explores the environmental and geopolitical implications of hydrogen production, underscoring Egypt's strategic role in the global energy market. The results provide actionable insights for policymakers and industry stakeholders to position Egypt as a leader in hydrogen production, contributing significantly to the global energy transition.
