Summary
In Episode 83 of Climate Economics with Fexingo, Lucas and Luna examine the surprising economics of green hydrogen. They focus on a specific project in Texas where a wind-to-hydrogen facility is producing at $2.10 per kilogram — undercutting the $2.50 benchmark for grey hydrogen from natural gas. The hosts break down the three forces driving the cost crossover: falling electrolyzer prices (down 40% since 2023), rising carbon taxes in Europe that increase grey hydrogen's true cost, and the Inflation Reduction Act's 45V tax credit worth up to $3 per kilogram. They also explore the limitations — green hydrogen still faces transport and storage hurdles, and only 10% of announced projects have reached final investment decision. The episode ends with a look at how the hydrogen cost curve could reshape steelmaking, shipping, and ammonia production by 2030. #GreenHydrogen #HydrogenEconomy #ClimateEconomics #CarbonPricing #InflationReductionAct #RenewableEnergy #Electrolyzer #TexasWind #EnergyTransition #CleanHydrogen #CostCurve #Decarbonization #GreenSteel #Ammonia #Economics #Business #FexingoBusiness #BusinessPodcast Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
