Exactly, capital cost (which is a function both of upfront cost and the lifetime) is the dominant cost of electrolyzed hydrogen right now.
Right now in California a bunch of organizations are prematurely adopting hydrogen tech that is not ready to be deployed, for buses and trains, despite failed pilots of these all over the globe. Decision makers are using the wrong parameters to make investments that last decades, and it's extremely disheartening.
Pretty much all hydrogen hype out there feeds into these bad decisions but the inappropriateness of the metrics is somehow being ignored.
