Minimizing emissions from grid-based hydrogen production in the United States: Raw Data

This repository contains all GenX model input and results data relevant to the paper 'Minimizing emissions from grid-based hydrogen production in the United States.' Data for each modeled scenario is contained within a folder in the main directory, using the naming convention [Clean Energy Matching Regime]_[Model Year]_[Electrolyzer Zone]_[Electrolyzer Capacity]_[Hydrogen Sales Revenue]kg_[Additional Descriptors]. Clean energy matching regime tags include `BaseCase' (the No Policy regime), `100AM' (the 100% Annual Matching regime), `100WM' (the 100% Weekly Matching regime), `100CFE' (the 100% Hourly Matching regime), and `100SRME' (the Net-Zero SRME regime). The `BaseCase_2030_noload' folder contains the baseline system without any added electrolysis demand. The `Scripts' folder contains plotting scripts and copies of all figures used in this work. The `SRME Iterations' folder contains intermediate runs used to calculate short-run marginal emissions time-series for each SRME case. Each case folder in the main repository contains `Inputs' and `Settings' folders, which contain GenX inputs and are described further in the GenX GitHub repository: https://github.com/GenXProject/GenX. All model outputs are contained in the `Results' folder and are also described in detail in the GenX documentation. Cases should be run using the version of GenX included in this repository, from a folder within the main GenX folder named '2030'.
