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. Comprehensive analysis of various factors, including rechargeable battery and electrolyzer capacities, enables the estimation of technology levels required for low-cost hydrogen production. This approximately converts to US$1.92
