ClimateXChange Report features Compressed H2 Shipping: Cost reduction pathways of green hydrogen production in Scotland
Provaris Energy (ASX: PV1) is pleased to provide an independent report produced by ClimateXChange and ARUP for the Scottish Government, which assesses the hydrogen production pathways to Europe by either pipeline, shipping ammonia or shipping compressed hydrogen, and comparison with costs for other regions of supply. The production scale of the report focused on 1 GW to 5 GW of H2 production.
Conclusions on the Pathway Comparison report highlight: “Exporting large scale hydrogen production via shared pipelines is a cost-effective option due to economies of scale. For longer distance, converting hydrogen to ammonia and shipping via dedicated vessels is economical. Given how costly recovering hydrogen from ammonia is, this export model is most cost effective where ammonia is the end product. Shipping compressed hydrogen could be most competitive, particularly for smaller scale production and via shorter distances, however the technology still needs to be developed and proved.”
