Nulägesanalys av vätgasetablering : En uppdatering av Färdplan 2020 mot ett Jämtkraftsperspektiv

Sammanfattning: In connection to the increase of emissions of greenhouse gases, electrification of the society is pointed out as absolute necessary to achieve the climate goals. To succeed with this, a substantial proportion of the intermittent electricity production needs, with the help from technical solutions, be used as a buffer for this production. The production of renewable hydrogen gas is seen as one of the solutions. The purpose of this study is to function as a foundation for a pilot study for establishment of production of renewable hydrogen which Jämtkraft will conduct during 2023. The study is compiled with information from updated science reports and studies, authorities or equate sources, Jämtkraft and workshops. The production cost of hydrogen gas has been set to price of electricity, three sizes of electrolysers and two types of electrolysers. The selling price has been divided into the transport sector and the industry sector. The calculations have been made with help from calculation methods from Jämtkraft and according to levelized cost of hydrogen formula. It is clear the production cost of hydrogen strongly correlates with the electricity price. The size of the electrolyser also affects, a larger electrolyser decreases the production costs of hydrogen. The difference between types of electrolysers do not affect the cost significantly, rather the placement and energy source to the hydrogen production. In comparison to 2020, the competitiveness for hydrogen within the transport sector has increased. The increase of the electricity cost has decreased the competitiveness within the industry sector. For economic success of an establishment of hydrogen production in Jämtland a careful analyse of customer interest must be made and an adjustment of selling price according to the electricity price. An investment rather towards the transport sector rather than the industry sector is to recommend.
