Description

We provide the data and code necessary to replicate the main results presented in the Working Paper "Hydrogen Utilization for Decarbonizing the Dairy Industry: A Techno-Economic Scenario Analysis" (Puglia, Boccaletti, Faya, Morselli, Allesina & Pedrazzi; WP 2025). The subfolders allow replicating the following: 1. The folder "Alkaline_Electrolyser_Model" allows the user to simulate the hydrogen production rate of an advanced alkaline water electrolyser based on a given power input. 2. The folder "Economic assessment" allows the user to replicate the Monte Carlo simulation used to obtain the economic results presentend in section 3.2. 3. The folder "Methane Savings" allows the user to calculate the monthly energy-equivalent mass of methane 4. The foder "Thermal Load Calculation and Dairy Plants Dataset" allows the user to replicate the estimation of the energy load considered in the dairy production process. For each subfolder a README file is provided. It contains information about the reproduction steps. For further details or specific data queries, please contact the corresponding author directly.
