Abstract

Hydrogen Fuel Cell Vehicles (HFCVs) represent a promising solution to reduce overall green house gas emissions and ensure sustainable mobility. The cost of the alternative production processes should be thought about in the frame of the whole infrastructure chain in HFCVs commercialization. This paper focuses on comparing three hydrogen production technologies to serve an emerging HFCVs market. The H2A model has provided the DOE Fuel Cell Technologies Program with a technology neutral cost calculator. Given the basic framework and the assumptions, the estimation outputs have been accomplished in H2A model. We conclude three points: Production costs and production capacity are closely linked; at the same scale of production, to adopt a different mode of production, the cost requirement is not the same; natural gas and electricity, especially electricity costs account for a large proportion of the cost in the hydrogen infrastructure construction.
