Abstract
The delivered hydrogen cost is estimated for the various scenarios in the short term and in the longer term. Cost estimates are derived using technical and economic data available in the literature and assumptions for the cost of electricity available on-board the wind energy converters. In the shorter term, delivered cost estimates are in the range 7.1-9.4 â¬/kg depending on the scenario and the delivery distance. They are based on the assumption of on-board electricity cost at 0.08â¬/kWh. In the longer term, assuming an on-board electricity cost at 0.04â¬.kWh, the cost estimates could reduce to 3.5 to 5.7 â¬/kg which would make the hydrogen competitive on several hydrogen markets without any support mechanism. For the hydrogen to be competitive on all hydrogen markets including the ones with the highest GHG emissions, a carbon tax of approximately 200 â¬/kg would be required.
