Abstract

12 Despite huge cost reduction potential for green hydrogen production, it is uncertain when cost parity with blue hydrogen 13 will be achieved. While technology costs, electricity and natural gas prices are key drivers, hydrogen’s competitiveness 14 will be increasingly determined by carbon costs or regulation associated with its life-cycle emissions. Theoretically and
