Don't remember. Is anyone doing that in production? If so, what does it cost?

- pfdietz 5y agoThere is some underground hydrogen storage (used to smooth output to ammonia synthesis, for example), and some hydrogen pipelines (about 1000 miles in the US), and combustion turbines have been available for 30 or more years that will burn hydrogen. So all the parts are available. Electrolyzers need to be sufficiently cheap to work well with intermittent renewables, but their cost is dropping rapidly. Integrating preexisting technologies is the easiest and surest kind of innovation, even if they haven't all been brought together yet. There are cost estimates at the reference link at https://model.energy/ https://model.energy/ , along with projections of future costs.
