Extended Data Table 2 Parameters to calculate the levelised costs of green hydrogen and hydrogen-based electrofuels

From: The green hydrogen ambition and implementation gap

  1. The upper part of the table displays all parameters required to calculate the LCOH (see Methods). The central estimate column shows the values for the figures presented in the main text (central estimate), while the “scenario range” column shows the values used in the sensitivity studies (progressive and conservative scenario). Please refer to the Excel file on the GitHub repository for further details regarding the sensitivity scenarios. The payback period and weighted average cost of capital are used to calculate the annuity and remain the same for both green hydrogen and electrofuels. The lower part of the table displays all parameters required to calculate the levelised costs (LCOX) of the green hydrogen derivatives, e-methanol, e-kerosene and e-methane (see Methods). Shared parameters for all derivatives are the green hydrogen price (obtained from the LCOH calculation), the renewable CO2 supply price, the full-load hours of the synthesis, and FOM costs. All values in MWh refer to the respective lower heating value71,72,73,74,75,76,77.
