dc.description.abstractThis study estimates the cost of hydrogen production with net-zero emissions, focusing on life cycle greenhouse gas emissions (LCA) and including CO2 removal costs. We design a PV-grid system for hydrogen production using HOMER’s energy modelling software with simulations based on data from a site in the city of Kitchener. Additionally, we examine the relationship between the hydrogen production and its carbon intensity. The results illustrate that the levelized cost of hydrogen (LCOH), when including CO2 removal costs, is 9.22% to 11.39% higher compared to the LCOH without carbon removal costs. These preliminary findings can serve as potential indicators for hydrogen pricing.
