This is the executive summary for upcoming EPRI report 3002023656, which establishes a baseline of cost and performance data sets that will be used to inform system modeling and other related techno-economic analysis as part of the Low-Carbon Resources Initiative (LCRI).
The focus of the activities is to develop and update the design performance, capital cost, and economics of various stateof- the-art hydrogen production technologies, including: electrolysis, natural gas reforming, and gasification of various feedstocks (coal, biomass, and waste); moreover, ammonia synthesis technology (with capture of carbon dioxide) and power generation technologies were also assessed, the latter including: solid oxide fuel cells, advanced combustion turbines, and reciprocating engines using hydrogen, ammonia, or a combination of both as fuel.
The study provides data to enable the development of scalable and customizable cost and performance estimates based on technology type, locational attributes, and project size.
