Hydrogen Council report finds cost of hydrogen solutions to fall sooner than previously expected

Green Car Congress

The Hydrogen Council has published a new report, Path to Hydrogen Competitiveness: A Cost Perspective , demonstrating that the cost of hydrogen solutions will fall sharply within the next decade, sooner than previously expected. Drop in the cost of components for end-use equipment under scaling up of manufacturing.

Solid state Batteries v/s Li-ion Batteries: A Comparison Based on Cost

Get Electric Vehicle

  As for any novel technology, the cost to develop, manufacture and integrate remains one of the deciding factors in the mass adoption and acceptance of these technologies. To better understand the severity of the cost component, let us look at the cost comparison between Solid state and Li-Ion batteries.

National labs team delivers techno-economic analyses of H2 DRI scenarios for green steel

Green Car Congress

In this study, break-even levelized cost of hydrogen (LCOH) targets for decarbonizing the steel industry with H 2 -DRI are established by comparing H 2 -DRI to the commercial natural gas-based direct reduced iron (NG-DRI) process. When using H 2 only for iron ore reduction, economic viability is reached at an H 2 procurement cost of $1.70

NACFE releases guidance report on hydrogen fuel cell heavy-duty trucks

Green Car Congress

Battery electric trucks should be the baseline for hydrogen fuel cells electric vehicle (HFCEV) comparisons, rather than any internal combustion engine alternative. Many factors will influence this, including emissions regulations, infrastructure, hydrogen availability and total costs of ownership. Stop comparisons of fill times.
