Production of green hydrogen could be cost competitive by 2030

摘要

The production of hydrogen fuel produced by electrolysis - a process that uses electricity to split water into hydrogen and oxygen, and which can be carbon-free and 'green' provided the electricity used in the process is produced by renewables - is rapidly developing from pilot to commercial-scale operation in many parts of the world. Its production could become cost competitive with current predominant methods that require the use of natural gas as a feedstock as early as 2030, according to analysis by the IHS Markit Hydrogen and Renewable Gas Forum.
