Electrolyser cost, efficiency improvement critical for achieving cost viability of green hydrogen
The prevailing levelised cost of Green Hydrogen (LCOH) is 1.75 times that of grey hydrogen and 1.50 times that of brown hydrogen, posing a significant barrier to its adoption. Achieving economic viability of Green Hydrogen to around $2.1 per kg requires a 35%-40% drop in electrolyser prices and a 12%-14% improvement in efficiency apart from supportive policies, says a new report by CareEdge Ratings.
