H2Tech - Q1 2021 - 29

SPECIAL FOCUS
Takeaway. The future for H2, both in the U.S. and internationally, is more a matter of " when " than " if. " Production and transportation costs for H2 will come down as usage ramps up based
on increasing demand. The authors believe that it is better to
familiarize users with H2 sooner rather than later, in anticipation of the transition from blue to green or renewable H2 , as
consumption rises. For now, the focus must be on adaptation.
The U.S. DOE study results show the possibility of meeting the prescribed DOE target of $3.10/kg of H2 (which dates
back to 2015) in a large-scale H2 supply chain by utilizing recovered offgas H2 and SPERA transport from point of production to point of use. Blue H2 can be made from conventional
steam reforming of natural gas for under $0.50/kg (variable
production cost), assuming gas at $2.50/MMBtu.
H2 consumption in fuel cells for residential power, commercial applications, materials movement, personal mobility,
mass transit and power generation will increase rapidly over
the course of the next 10 yr. Challenges notwithstanding, these
will be exciting times for both early adopters and infrastructure
providers as we accelerate into a clean new world.
