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. The results from this study suggested a cost of hydrogen as low as ¥17 to ¥27/Nm 3 (US$0.16 - $0.25) using a combination of technologies and the achievement of ambitious individual cost targets for batteries, PV, and electrolyzers.

Siemens presents three-point plan for implementing cost-efficient energy transition in Germany

Green Car Congress

Siemens suggests abandoning a fixed target for renewable energies and concentrating on the CO 2 reduction goal. Relying on a higher share of efficient, low-emission combined cycle power plants and wind energy could save €150 billion (US$200 billion) by 2030 while attaining the same CO 2 targets, Siemens says.
