…in the data-file, because they are very large and cryogenic. Higher capex may be worthwhile to install higher grade tanks that minimize boil-off and improve energy efficiency. Large-scale hydrogen storage…
…efficiency. Our numbers are indexed at the electrolyser plant gate. On top of this, a full value chain requires hydrogen storage, hydrogen transport, and hydrogen use in a prime mover…
…electrolysers and hydrogen storage infrastructure. So what happens to the price of green hydrogen if all of these value chain components switch to 2x more expensive green steel? We run…
