As world population grows rapidly demand for energy is also increasing tremendously duly. To meet net zero emission targets and reducing use of fossil fuels global action has started early in 21st century. For this reason, huge focus is given on the development of renewable energy in the whole world. So renewable energy has been growing rapidly for the past 25 years especially solar, wind, hydropower, geothermal, and biomass energy. But there are some disadvantages of these sources like cost, depending on time and the weather conditions. These disadvantages make us to use new type of energy which is cost effective, available despite weather, season and contingent conditions. Green hydrogen is considered to be the future of the energy, as it offers an environmentally friendly and safe form of energy. For this study Karakalpakstan region of Uzbekistan is chosen to produce green hydrogen using Proton exchange membrane (PEM) electrolyzer powered from 100 MW wind plant in the chosen area. The Open Plan Tool is used to simulate a model and calculate techno-economic analysis. As a result of the study, it was determined that the technical feasibility and economic parameter LCOH of 6093.6 metric tons kg green hydrogen was 6.5 USD/kg under a 5% discount rate and a 20-year project life with the model applied for the examined region.
