- Abstract
- Hydrogen produced from renewable electricity through Power-to-Hydrogen can facilitate the integration of high levels of variable renewable electricity into the energy system. An electrolyser is a device that splits water into hydrogen and oxygen using electricity. When electricity is produced from renewable energy sources, electrolytic hydrogen can be considered to be green. Key green hydrogen production technologies, mostly PEM and alkaline electrolysers, are still further maturing, both in technical (efficiency), economical (CAPEX) and durability (lifetime) performance. Nonetheless, we will show in this contribution how fossil parity for green hydrogen, i.e. a Total Cost of Ownership (TCO) similar to grey H2 coming from CO2 intensive SMR processes, can already be achieved today. Moreover, this can be realised at a scale which corresponds to the basic units of renewable electricity generation, i.e. a few MW.
