Overview

By unveiling the Green Hydrogen Supply Costs Database, NEXT Database – Green H2 Supply Costs (http://nextgroup.or.kr/?ThBZOE36), which contains data related to the production, shipping, and distribution costs of green hydrogen, NEXT Group seeks to predict the domestic supply costs of green hydrogen, both produced and imported from abroad, and to analyze areas requiring policy support.

Executive Summary

HIGHLIGHTS 


By unveiling the Green Hydrogen Supply Costs Database, NEXT Database – Green H2 Supply Costs (http://nextgroup.or.kr/?ThBZOE36), which contains data related to the production, shipping, and distribution costs of green hydrogen, NEXT Group seeks to predict the domestic supply costs of green hydrogen, both produced and imported from abroad, and to analyze areas requiring policy support. 

The domestic supply costs of green hydrogen produced and imported from overseas is currently 8,135 won per kg (based on the median value). It is expected to fall sharply to 4,954 won/kg by 2030 and 3,773 won/kg by 2050. If technical and policy support is provided, it may reach 3,879 won/kg in 2030. 

In order to reduce the international green hydrogen shipping costs, investment in hydrogen liquefaction, storage facilities, a system producing hydrogen through ammonia decomposition, and measures for expanding shipping capacity are needed. In addition, it is expected that the hydrogen pipe’s maximum pressure and tube trailer capacity expansion will be required to reduce the distribution unit costs.
