Long-distance hydrogen interconnectors from an LCOE/LCOS perspective – pv magazine International

New research from the U.K. shows the increasing competitiveness of long-distance hydrogen interconnectors over the next three decades. Compared to high-voltage electricity cables, hydrogen interconnectors may soon achieve a much lower levelized cost of storage and their ability to further reduce the final LCOE will depend on how much electrolyzer costs will reduce over the years. January 27, 2022 Emiliano BelliniLong-distance hydrogen interconnectors may become competitive with high-voltage electricity cables for the transport of energy, provided that the fuel interconnectors are longer than 350km and have a capacity of more than 1GW, when considering construction in 2050.Those are the main conclusions of a study conducted by researchers at Durham University, in the U.K., in which the authors assessed the techno-economic potential of hydrogen interconnector systems (HIS’), by…
