The Hydrogen Stream: UK scientists call for strict rules for H2 leakage
The Oxford Institute for Energy Studies says addressing hydrogen leakage across the supply chain is crucial to making hydrogen a sustainable energy vector. Italy, meanwhile, has unveiled its national hydrogen strategy, with a focus on its role in the Mediterranean.
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.
