Drivers of low-cost Hydrogen - the Bloomberg NEF view*

The key inputs for both blue and green Hydrogen

Blue*

Natural gas prices

The lower the gas price, the lower the LCOH2 for blue hydrogen. In Australia, the location of the project can be a key determinant of gas price.

Green*

Capacity factors

Higher capacity factors lead to lower LCOH2.

Projects with both solar and wind can increase overall capacity factor which increases electrolyser efficiency.

Power prices

The lower the power costs, the lower the LCOH2.

Connecting to the grid vs behind the meter.

Technology selection

ATR has slightly lower capital costs when high rates of CO2 capture is required, and ATR also uses less natural gas. However, ATR uses more electricity.

CCS costs

CCS costs are driven by electricity and natural gas prices and accessibility of storage facilities/infrastructure.

Power prices

The lower the power costs, the lower the LCOH2.

Connecting to the grid vs behind the meter.

Technology selection - electrolysers

Currently, Chinese alkaline electrolysers are the cheapest on market but is difficult to procure and has long lead times.

Western alkaline electrolysers are a more costly alternative to Chinese Electrolysers.

Proton exchange membrane electrolysis is a newer technology and currently the most expensive.
