Abstract
This study conducted a comprehensive economic assessment of natural hydrogen extraction scenarios, evaluating techniques using indicators such as unit cost, net present value, and payback period. By analyzing 32,000 scenarios with varying hydrogen purity, volumes, well depths, separation techniques, production well numbers, and off-gas disposal well numbers, we aim to provide essential theoretical guidance and practical insights to reduce production costs.
