Novel to this study, hybrid energy generation potential of hazelnut shell gasification with different alternatives including PV are explored and H2 production from hazelnut shell is simulated in Aspen Plus. Mass flow of main outlet products (CO and H2) is 1103.43 kg/hr and 81.62 kg/hr, respectively. GIS is used to define the optimum area for the proposed hazelnut shell gasification plant. The production of syngas obtained from Aspen Plus simulation is estimated as 21,286,234 Nm3/yr, NPC and IRR values of the proposed gasification plant using method of time value of money are calculated as $106,673 and 28 %, respectively. NPC and COE of hybrid renewable energy system including battery storage are calculated as $6.87 M and $0.715, respectively. © 2024 Elsevier Ltdeninfo:eu-repo/semantics/closedAccessGISH₂ productionHazelnut gasificationHRESNPCTechno-economic analysisArticle194Q2Q12-s2.0-8521206331210.1016/j.compchemeng.2024.108980
