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

Green Car Congress

For comparison, the US DOE’s 2020 target for the levelized cost of hydrogen (production only) is $2.30/kg. For example, rechargeable batteries that can discharge only at a low rate but can be produced economically are expected to become available by around 2030. This approximately converts to US$1.92 to US$3.00/kg 2018.11.119 ).
