Advances in power-to-gas technologies: cost and conversion efficiency
Gunther Glenk, Philip Holler, Stefan Reichelstein
Abstract
This paper examines the cost and efficiency dynamics of three prevalent Power-to-Gas technologies. Our results suggest that electrolytic hydrogen production costs will approach but not reach the U.S. Department of Energy's $1.0/kg target by 2030.
