Japan team evaluates battery-assisted low-cost hydrogen production from solar energy

Green Car Congress

Researchers from Japan’s NIMS (National Institute for Materials Science), the University of Tokyo and Hiroshima University have jointly conducted a techno-economic analysis for hydrogen production from photovoltaic power generation (PV) utilizing a battery-assisted electrolyzer. This approximately converts to US$1.92 to US$3.00/kg
