Electric power is an essential resource for the decarbonization of the steel industry. However, the current measures of electricity usage during peak hours make the transition to a clean electric steel industry difficult. To address these issues, steel companies are exploring the use of green hydrogen in combined cycle plants. This study conducts a feasibility analysis of implementing combined cycle plants powered by a mixture of green hydrogen and natural gas for a Peruvian steel company. The technical-environmental evaluation demonstrated the feasibility of green hydrogen usage, showing that it enhances plant performance and significantly reduces CO2 emissions. However, the economic assessment indicated infeasibility in the period between 2020 and 2040. Nonetheless, a favorable scenario is anticipated beyond 2040, with projected electricity purchase prices at 123.9 US$/MWh-e, natural gas at 47.7 US$/MWh-t, and green hydrogen at 2.5 US$/kg. The profitability of the alternatives during these periods will be intrinsically linked to the real behavior of electricity, natural gas, and green hydrogen purchase prices. The viability of the proposal is influenced by price trends in various aspects. An increase in electricity purchase prices will favor the project's profitability. An increase in natural gas purchase prices will negatively impact investment in cases where it is used as a fuel. Conversely, a reduction in green hydrogen purchase prices will enhance the proposal's profitability. This thesis aims to motivate and encourage the use of green hydrogen as an energy source for power energy systems in combined cycle plants.
