Austria is committed to the net-zero climate goal along with European Union. This requires all sectors be decarbonized. Hereby, hydrogen plays a vital role as stated in national strategy. A report commissioned by Austrian government predicts minimum demand of 16 TWh per year 2040. Besides imports, domestic production can ensure supply. Hence, this study analyses levelized cost for an off-grid p...

Recently, in two publications, Loewen expressed skepticism on the validity of levelized cost energy (LCOE) indicator, used to compare economics technologies [...]

Hydrogen infrastructure costs will vary by region as geographic characteristics and feedstocks differ. This paper proposes a method for optimizing regional hydrogen infrastructure deployment by combining detailed spatial data in a geographic information system (GIS) with a technoeconomic model of hydrogen infrastructure components. The method is applied to a case study in Ohio in which coal-bas...
