Short study - Provision of hydrogen with a low GHG footprint (possibilities - state of development - costs)

The process variants for hydrogen production are described and the current state of knowledge and development is presented. On the basis of modular process models, the material and enthalpy balances are worked out and the GHG intensity and the energy efficiency for these routes are determined. At the same time, the models also serve to determine the H2 production costs (CAPEX, OPEX) with the inclusion of literature data.

The study builds on the work of the DGMK 815 study "Production of greenhouse gas-reduced or greenhouse gas-neutral gaseous or liquid hydrocarbons or energy carriers".

The short study is intended to provide a well-founded evaluation of the various options for hydrogen supply with regard to, among other things, GHG reduction potential, efficiency, product costs as well as development status and market maturity.
