Renewable hydrogen could achieve cost-parity by 2028

Hydrogen Council cautions that this would be possible only if capital were found to bridge large funding gap

The Hydrogen Council presented research today revealing that government commitments have led to a rapid acceleration of hydrogen projects and, with falling prices, renewable hydrogen could hit cost-parity with grey supply by 2028.
