Abstract
The results of the analysis of production of construction materials used for manufacturing hydrogen life cycle equipment are presented. The aspects of the life cycle of the main construction materials (steel, aluminum, nickel, copper, titanium, platinum, carbon plastics) used in hydrogen power engineering are identified. The results of the carbon footprint assessment for the production of these materials are presented depending on the production technologies, the energy source used and the secondary raw materials. It is established that in the development of a hydrogen gas turbine unit (GTU) the main contribution to carbon footprint is made by titanium (50,9 %) and nickel (37,6 %) alloys, in spite of the fact that more than 50 % of GTU consists of steel. It has been determined that in the production of solid-polymer fuel cells the main contribution to the carbon footprint is made by the smallest construction materials — platinum (78,1 %) and carbon plastics (15,7 %) due to the fact that they have the largest carbon footprint per kg of produced material.
