Electrolysis-based hydrogen production and storage could improve the operation of the electric grid while integrating a variety of disparate systems, including the transportation, agricultural, industrial, and residential sectors.
Our analysis shows that current hydrogen production costs range from US$2.6 to US$12.3 kg −1 and can be significantly reduced through flexible operation if dynamic tariffs are used. Hydrogen production costs for the 81 utility rates in 20 states are already less than US$4.0 kg −1 and competitive with the fuel cost of gasoline vehicles.
The cost of capital is assumed at 5%, while the other techno-economic assumptions are sourced from the references below. Indicative production costs for hydrogen via electrolysis in selected regions compared to current references - Chart and data by the International Energy Agency.
The optimization model RODeO 17, 37 was used to assess the electrolysis-based hydrogen production cost. RODeO is a price-taker model that maximizes the revenue associated with the operation of energy storage and hydrogen production systems considering ancillary grid services, which were not considered in this study.
This study assesses the production cost of grid-based electrolytic hydrogen across the United States and finds that hydrogen can already be cost effective today.
Thus, the costs of hydrogen production are very low, but hydrogen in these studies is usually not produced at the location of demand. Therefore, transport costs would have to be added to these costs to determine the costs at the point of consumption, which is not in the scope of this study.

Future costs of hydrogen: a quantitative review
The costs of hydrogen from electrolysis are reduced on the basis of this trajectory, starting from the reference 5.3 € per kg, in 2020, to 4.4 € per kg, in 2030, and to 2.7 € per kg in 2050. The costs for natural gas-based hydrogen are almost constant on a globally aggregated basis. There are also major regional and process-related differences.

Overall, this data shows that hydrogen can be produced today within a cost range of ~$2.50 – $6.80/kg from a mix of renewable and grid feedstocks. This is in good alignment with the DOE analysis, which shows that hydrogen can be produced via PEM electrolysis at a cost of ~$4 to $6/kg for specific conditions.
