heal.abstract	The transition to a sustainable energy system has driven the increasing interest in hydrogen as a clean and versatile energy carrier. However, the efficient and cost-effective transportation of hydrogen is crucial for its successful integration into the energy supply chain. This thesis focuses on analyzing and optimizing the hydrogen supply chain, considering various transport methods and their associated costs. The research begins by identifying key challenges in the hydrogen supply chain, including cost reduction, CO2 emissions reduction, process efficiency, and improving the overall competitiveness of hydrogen. A comprehensive analysis of the importance of hydrogen supply chain management is presented, highlighting the need for optimizing transportation methods to achieve economic viability. The thesis employs a combination of manual scenario analysis and simulation using the AnyLogic modeling software. The manual analysis examines specific supply chain routes and determines the total amount of hydrogen and the associated costs. The simulation in AnyLogic further investigates various scenarios using different transport methods, such as trucks, pipelines, and shipping, to identify the most cost-effective and efficient options. The findings from the analysis provide valuable insights into the cost implications of different transport methods for hydrogen distribution. The research highlights the importance of considering not only the cost per kilogram but also other factors such as distance, infrastructure requirements, and operational considerations when selecting the optimal transport method. The thesis concludes with recommendations for future research, including further optimization of transport methods, exploration of alternative energy carriers, and integration of renewable energy sources in the hydrogen supply chain. The insights gained from this study contribute to the overall understanding of hydrogen supply chain management and support decision-making processes in the energy sector. Keywords: hydrogen supply chain, transport methods, cost analysis, optimization, AnyLogic modeling, sustainability.	en
