dc.descriptionIn recent years, investments in clean hydrogen production have been increasing rapidly worldwide. Committed hydrogen investments, which were $10 billion in 2020, have increased to $75 billion by 2024, while the number of global hydrogen projects has increased sevenfold, from 228 to 1572 [6]. While hydrogen plays a critical role, especially in the energy transition, many countries are taking important steps to increase their infrastructure, research and production capacity in this area. Japan is one of the pioneers in the transition to a hydrogen economy and aims to increase its hydrogen supply from 2 million tons to 12 million tons by 2040. In this direction, the government has announced an investment plan of approximately $113 billion [7]. In addition, Japan plans to establish the world's first facility that aims to produce hydrogen using nuclear energy. This facility aims to produce clean hydrogen using High Temperature Gas Cooled Reactor technology and is planned to be operational by 2030 [8]. The USA is also among the countries increasing its hydrogen investments. The US Department of Energy has announced that it will invest $750 million in electrolysis technologies and hydrogen infrastructure projects to accelerate clean hydrogen production. This investment aims to scale up hydrogen production and expand the use of hydrogen across the country [9]. Europe is taking important steps in green hydrogen investments and implementing large-scale projects. The European Union is providing \u20AC6.9 billion in public support for infrastructure projects aimed at increasing renewable hydrogen supply in its member countries [10]. Germany plans to establish a 9000-km hydrogen network by 2032 at a cost of \u20AC19 billion and aims to meet 30 %\u201350 % of its hydrogen production with its own resources [11]. In addition, Germany, France, Spain and Portugal are building a hydrogen pipeline to carry green hydrogen from the Iberian Peninsula to Europe, which is planned to be completed by 2030. This pipeline is expected to carry 2 million metric tons of green hydrogen per year [12]. Hydrogen investments are also increasing in T\u00FCrkiye. T\u00FCpra\u015F\u2019s venture capital company T\u00FCpra\u015F Ventures aims to grow in this area by investing in startups operating in the green hydrogen field [13]. Bosch has also announced a \u20AC500 million investment plan for the development of hydrogen engines and related components [14]. Also, T\u00FCrkiye's first hydrogen valley is being established within Enerjisa \u00DCretim. This project is seen as an important step in T\u00FCrkiye's transition to a hydrogen economy and aims to contribute to the sustainable energy transition [15]. These developments demonstrate the strategic steps T\u00FCrkiye is taking to benefit from hydrogen's potential in the clean energy transition.This study was supported by the Scientific Research Projects Coordination Unit of \u0130stanbul Technical University (\u0130T\u00DC) under the Research Initiation Support Project titled \u201CT\u00FCrkiye Hidrojen Tedarik Zinciri A\u011F\u0131: Strateji ve Politikalar\u201D (Project Code: MAB-2024-46176, Project ID: 46176).en_US

dc.description.abstractAs energy and climate crises necessitate a shift to sustainable resources, hydrogen - with its zero-emission potential-is expected to play a key role in the energy transition. Designing an effective hydrogen supply chain (HSC) is essential to realizing this potential. This study introduces a multi-period, multi-objective stochastic optimization model for Türkiye's transportation-sector HSC. It addresses gaps in existing research by integrating dynamic renewable energy availability, lifecycle-based CO2 emissions, and regional green hydrogen prioritization. The ε-constraint method is used to balance economic and environmental objectives. Results show that Türkiye can significantly reduce emissions by gradually transitioning from fossil-based production and by optimizing facility locations based on regional solar, wind, and hydrogen sulfide potential. Centralized production reduces costs but increases transport risk and emissions, while localized production improves resilience yet may increase fossil fuel reliance in resource-limited regions. These findings offer strategic guidance for aligning hydrogen planning with Türkiye's climate commitments.en_US
