Sometimes the price of natural gas is even negative, there is too much of it.
"Natural gas at Texas’s Waha hub is trading at negative $7.05 per million British Thermal Units, hitting a record low of negative $9.52 on April 15."

There are different kinds of water electrolysis equipment, with different capital expenditure and operating expenses.
"Alkaline electrolyzers are cheaper in terms of investment (they generally use nickel catalysts), but least efficient. PEM electrolyzers are more expensive (they generally use expensive platinum-group metal catalysts) but are more efficient and can operate at higher current densities, and can, therefore, be possibly cheaper if the hydrogen production is large enough."

Anything using platinum-group metals will be very expensive. Therefor catalytic converters in cars use very little platinum-group metals.
"The amount of palladium in a converter can vary, but it is typically around 2-7 grams."

- Someone 5mo ago> Sometimes the price of natural gas is even negative, there is too much of it. Googling that tells me there was/is too much of it locally. The gas is a byproduct of drilling for oil, and there was/is insufficient pipeline capacity to move it to consumers.
- Animats 5mo agoThat's what happens when the storage tanks fill up. Nobody can buy it because they have to accept delivery and put it somewhere.
