Hydrogen Cost for Car
On the cost of on-board hydrogen
In today's world, the road of car driving, hydrogen is gradually showing its trend. However, the cost of on-board hydrogen is related to its use and waste, which cannot be ignored.
There are various methods for the production of hydrogen. For electrolysis of water, the power consumption is huge. If it is taken from the power grid, the price of electricity depends on the time and place. When it is worth the peak electricity consumption, the price is high; when it is in the valley, the price is slightly lower. And the installation of electrolysis equipment, the cost of operation and maintenance, are all included in the cost. If hydrogen is produced by reforming fossil fuels, although the raw materials are easy to find, the process of purification also costs money.
The difficulty of storage and transportation also increases its cost. Hydrogen is light in quality and small in density. If you want to store enough, you need a high-pressure tank or a low-temperature storage. High-pressure equipment is expensive to build, and the safety concerns cannot be ignored. Low-temperature storage, refrigeration energy, consumes money and time. As for transportation and pipeline laying, the initial cost is large; if it is transported by car, the efficiency is low and the cost rises, which is obvious.
Hydrogen refueling station is not easy to build. The choice of site and the purchase of equipment are all expensive. And the hydrogen refueling station needs professional personnel to operate and maintain, and labor is also part of the cost.
Overall, in order to reduce the cost of on-board hydrogen, the method of production should be efficient and low-cost; the technique of storage and transportation must be convenient and safe; the design of hydrogen refueling should be economical and practical. In this way, hydrogen can be used in vehicles, unimpeded, and beneficial to the country and the people.
