| Abstract | A city of the future will need to be eco-friendly while meeting general social and economic requirements. Hydrogen-based technologies provide solutions for initially limiting CO2 emissions, with prospects indicating complete decarbonization in the future. Cities will need to adopt and integrate these technologies to avoid a gap between the development of hydrogen production and its urban application. Achievable results are analyzed by injecting hydrogen into the urban methane gas network, initially in small proportions, but gradually increasing over time. This paper also presents a numerical application pertaining to the city of Bucharest, Romania—a metropolis with a population of 2.1 million inhabitants. Although the use of fuel cells is less advantageous for urban transport compared to electric battery-based solutions, the heat generated by hydrogen-based technologies, such as fuel cells, can be efficiently utilized for residential heating. However, storage solutions are required for residential consumption, separate from that of urban transport, along with advancements in electric transport using existing batteries, which necessitate a detailed economic assessment. For electricity generation, including cogeneration, gas turbines have proven to be the most suitable solution. Based on the analyzed data, the paper synthesizes the opportunities offered by hydrogen-based technologies for a city of the future. © 2025 by the authors. |
