Power and capital costs inflate LCOH in Netherlands
Green hydrogen costs for projects in the Netherlands estimated to be in a €9.3–15.9/kg range as developers faces higher input prices, according to government-sponsored study
The estimated cost of producing green hydrogen in the Netherlands has increased significantly over the past few years due to higher electrolyser capital costs, wholesale electricity prices and grid tariffs, according to a study carried out by independent research body the Netherlands Organisation for Applied Scientific Research (TNO). The levelised cost of hydrogen (LCOH) production estimated by the study was in a range from €9.3–15.9/kg ($10–17/kg). This is significantly higher than other studies carried out over the past two years, which have estimated costs in a €6–12/kg range (see Fig.1). Project investment costs have increased in recent years due to higher cost of energy, raw materials
