Abstract
Multiple reports exist on the range of cost of production of hydrogen from about $1.20/kg to about $12.00/kg. Hydrogen exists mainly as part of compounds and the elemental hydrogen has to be produced from these compounds and/or mixtures of compounds by spending energy. A detailed thermodynamic analysis revealed that this spectrum of costs exist primarily from the energy conversion costs and economics of such energy conversions. This analysis leads to the simple low-cost possibilities of hydrogen from hydrocarbons called ‘orange’ hydrogen, which is CO2-free, along with the ease of making it from the ground using present-day renewable energy as needed.
