Imports of hydrogen produced by electrolysis from Morocco more competitive than local production

Datum:

08 april 2022

The most competitive supply route of low carbon hydrogen to the North-west European market, is hydrogen produced through SMR with CCS in Norway, with unit costs of supply of just above 2 €/kg. If one only considers hydrogen supply by electrolysis with the use of renewable electricity, supply from Morocco is less expensive than production in Europe, with estimated levelized supply costs of slightly above 4 €/kg. Because hydrogen transport costs rapidly increase with distance, supply of hydrogen over large intercontinental distances is not competitive.

Hydrogen production through electrolysis can offer flexibility to electricity markets, but its costs are much higher than its benefits (for now, at least)

Many governments, including the EU, give a prominent role to hydrogen produced via Power-to-Gas (i.e., electrolysis) as a flexibility provider to balance mismatches between electricity supply and demand which may increase because of the increased...

Energy Post Panel Discussion on cross-border capacity

Datum:

22 april 2020

The share of renewable generation in Europe’s power system is rising fast, but interconnection is not keeping up. This will be one of the themes discussed during the Energy Post Panel Discussion on cross border capacity. In this online event, that will be hosted on May 19, our director Prof. Machiel Mulder will be one of the panelists discussing several regulatory issues on cross border trade of electricity systems.
