Abstract
In this study, an environmental impact assessment of the use of natural gas extracted from the Black Sea with the hydrogen produced from municipal solid wastes and hydrogen sulfide obtained from the Black Sea is performed. Several volumetric hydrogen ratios in the blend are employed to obtain the saved natural gas reserves and, therefore, life cycle impacts. With the addition of hydrogen to natural gas, annual natural gas use decreases from 59.85 to 55.66 billion m3. With this decrease, global warming and acidification potential values decrease from 275 to 255 kg CO2 equivalents per year and from 0.32 to 0.29 kg SO2 equivalents per year, according to the results of life cycle analysis.
