Still, producing hydrogen from renewables will always be more expensive than using the same electricity directly, due to the energy conversion loss from electron to molecule. Whenever possible, the direct use of electricity should therefore be prioritised. 6/7

Over time, the costs are also likely to be influenced by the falling price of electrolysers and the growing share of wind and solar in the electricity mix, allowing for new business models where green hydrogen is produced according to price signals from the power markets. 5/7

It’s important to note that the final price of green hydrogen for off-takers is affected by additional factors and will be higher than the projected production costs calculated here. 4/7

The Levelised Cost of Hydrogen (LCOH) map shows that windy coastal areas around the North and Baltic Seas and solar-rich regions in Southern Europe could become hotspots for the production of green hydrogen that would then be delivered to off-takers across the continent by pipeline. 3/7
