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

Green Car Congress

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. This approximately converts to US$1.92 to US$3.00/kg Credit: NIMS. 2018.11.119 ).
