Details

This report presents levelised costs for hydrogen production technologies. A ‘levelised cost’ is the average cost over the lifetime of the plant per MWh of hydrogen produced. It reflects the cost of building and operating a generic plant for each technology. The report details the methodology, data and assumptions used to generate the levelised cost estimates.
