Green hydrogen levelized production cost (LCOH, per kg) from an electrolyser
Green hydrogen levelized production cost (LCOH, per kg) from an electrolyser: capital cost annuity, fixed O&M, electricity and water, from your inputs or defaults (system 55 kWh/kg, 1,000 €/kW installed, 8% WACC, 20 years, 4,000 full-load hours, 3% O&M). Without an electricity price it uses the latest EPEX SPOT Germany-Luxembourg day-ahead baseload price. A transparent calculator, not a traded hydrogen price.
