   II.1.4) Short description:    
      BEIS is looking to improve its modelling capability in the field of hydrogen infrastructure modelling. In order to do so will require:

1. An assessment of existing evidence for the hydrogen supply chain

2. The development of a hydrogen infrastructure tool

The first part of this project would gather evidence on all parts of the hydrogen supply chain, assessing the certainty we have in these assumptions for a UK context.

The second part of this project will involve a hydrogen infrastructure tool. This tool must include the functionality to be able to model:

Varied geographical and temporal demand
Intermittency of renewable energy sources
Transport and storage of resources

This is likely to require:
High level of temporal detail
High level of spatial detail

The final stage of this project will be to incorporate the evidence into the hydrogen infrastructure model.
