Electricity accounts for nearly 80% of the cost of hydrogen from electrolysis. In addition, the ability to use heat, which is a much lower cost source of energy than electricity, further improves the economics of green hydrogen production. By using less electricity, hydrogen production is more economical and accelerates adoption.
