Abstract

Renewable and new energy sources play
a vital role in the development of urban communities, aligning with the seventh goal of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), which focuses on ensuring access to affordable, reliable, sustainable, and modern energy for all. This includes doubling the global rate of improvement in energy efficiency. Furthermore, this goal complements the eleventh SDG, which aims to make cities and human settlements inclusive, safe, resilient, and sustainable. These objectives are at the core of the New Urban Agenda for spatial achieving sustainability
The production of green hydrogen from renewable energy sources, such as wind and solar energy, is particularly significant. These sources are inherently intermittent, and their full potential can only be realized if they are converted into more stable energy forms, such as hydrogen. This conversion contributes to environmental sustainability from renewable resources.
This research explores the application of green hydrogen in the city of Ras Gharib benefits from optimal wind speeds suitable for operating wind turbines to generate electricity, as well as radiation levels that can efficiently power solar panels. that for generating electricity from solar panels and wind turbines installed on residential rooftops in the city. Any surplus electricity produced will be used for electrolysis to generate green hydrogen. The hydrogen produced will be employed across various sectors within the city, reducing environmental pollution and contributing to the achievement of (SDGs)
This paper examines the processes of green hydrogen production and its integration into urban systems, with its application on Ras Gharib.
