Virtual Hydrogen Talks: Cost Competitiveness of Green Hydrogen
According to Handelsblatt, in the spring of 2022, Green Hydrogen became cheaper than the one produced from natural gas. This development was unexpected and caused by geopolitical changes resulting in a price increase of natural gas as feedstock for grey and blue hydrogen. Nevertheless, in the long run, the community needs to work on the cost structure of Green Hydrogen to support the ramp-up. How can we make this happen? How does the actual situation influence the long term trend? Discuss with the experts and your peers!
