Project Description
| Type of Project: |
Model |
| Category: |
Hydrogen Fuel Pathways |
| Objectives: |
How much does a specific delivery component contribute to the overall delivered cost of hydrogen?
What are the energy and mass efficiencies of specific delivery components?
How do various input variables affect the final component contribution cost? |
| Technologies Modeled: |
Pipelines, compressors, truck tube trailers, cryogenic liquid trucks, liquefaction, gaseous tube storage, geologic storage, gaseous hydrogen terminals, liquid hydrogen terminals, gaseous forecourt stations, liquid forecourt stations |
| User Inputs: |
Component design variables (average capacity, design capacity, capacity factor, efficiency, capital and operating costs), Economic variables (tax rate, depreciation type/period, discount rate, analysis period, lifetime, and inflation). |
| Methodology/Approach: |
Fixed-charge rate financial analysis |
| Hardware/Software Requirements: |
Excel |
| Outputs: |
Cost contribution of various delivery components to the cost of hydrogen in terms of $/kg of hydrogen.
Energy/mass efficiencies for each delivery component. |
| Assumptions Inherent in Model: |
Each tab (there are 17 of them) is based on a set of assumptions. Overall, here are some key assumptions.
- Discount rate is 10%.
- Analysis period is 20 years.
- Federal tax rate is 35%, with a state tax rate of 5%. The result of these two numbers is a total tax rate of 38.9%.
- MACRS depreciation is used for each component.
|
| Sensitivity Studies Facilitated: |
Determination of the effect of any variable on the component cost.
Comparisons between different components to see what pathway is more energy and cost efficient. |
| Milestones Supported: |
- By 2007: Identify cost-effective options for hydrogen delivery infrastructure to support the introduction and long-term use of hydrogen for transportation and stationary power.
- Organization: DOE Hydrogen Program
- Completion Date: September 2007
- By 2017, reduce the cost of hydrogen delivery from the point of production to the point of use at refueling sites to <$1.00/gge.
- Organization: DOE Hydrogen Program
