H2A Production Model
Project Summary
| Full Title: |
H2A Production Model |
| Project ID: |
219 |
| Principal Investigator: |
Todd Ramsden |
| Brief Description: |
The H2A Production Models are tools for assessing the cost of producing hydrogen for central and forecourt (filling station) hydrogen production technologies. |
| Keywords: |
Hydrogen production; wind; coal; biomass; natural gas; nuclear |
Purpose
The H2A Production Model offers a means of reporting financial parameters and methodological assumptions as well as calculating minimum hydrogen selling price.
