Application of PVT System in Green and Blue Hydrogen
– The hydrogen industry is well established and has decades of experience in industry sectors using hydrogen as a feedstock. – The vast majority of Hydrogen being produced from Natural Gas. – Currently more than 60 Mt of hydrogen is produced using conventional energy sources, which produces 840 Million Tons of CO 2 per year
Why Hassabou Solar PVT Technology is Important for Green/Blue Hydrogen?
Source: Price duration curves, grid fees and grid service revenues (applied as a discount on electricity prices) are taken from FCH JU (2017b).
It is critical to operate the hydrogen production systems at a load factor higher than 50% to keep the cost low.
In conventional solar PV without storage the load factor is always around 20%, adding battery storage will increase the energy production costs drastically and so the land footprint
Using Hassabou PVT can cut the cost by almost 50%
Levelized cost of hydrogen (LCOH) produced via PEM in 2017 and as expected in 2025
The cost of Green H2 with Hassabou PVT is 1.7-2 US$/kg, in 2025 can be 1.5 US$/kg
