How much does green hydrogen cost today?

Current green hydrogen cost: $3–8/kg in most regions. At $0.03/kWh electricity and 50 kWh/kg efficiency: $1.50/kg electricity cost alone. Total LCOH including capital and O&M: $3–5/kg in good renewable locations.

When will green hydrogen reach cost parity with grey?

Grey hydrogen (from natural gas) costs $1–2/kg. IEA projects green hydrogen reaching $1–2/kg by 2030 in best locations (Australia, Chile, Middle East) with large-scale deployment and falling electrolyzer costs.

What drives green hydrogen cost reductions?

Key drivers: electrolyzer cost (currently $600–1500/kW, target $200/kW by 2030), electricity cost, capacity factor, and financing costs. Learning rates suggest 15–20% cost reduction per doubling of capacity.
