dc.description.abstractThis study was aimed to define a methodology based on existing literature and evaluate the levelized cost of hydrogen (LCOH) for a decentralized hydrogen refueling station (HRS) in Halle, Belgium. The results are based on a comprehensive data collection, along with real cost information. The main results indicated that a LCOH of 10.3 €/kg at the HRS can be reached over a lifetime of 20 years, if an average electricity cost of 0.04 €/kWh could be achieved and if the operating hours are maximized. Furthermore, if the initial capital costs can be reduced by 80%, in the case of direct subsidy, the LCOH could even fall to 6.7 €/kg. Keywords: hydrogen; hydrogen refueling station; levelen_US
dc.description.sponsorshipThis study was carried out as a part of the Don Quichote (DQ) project which is co-funded by the 7th Framework Programme (FP7) under the initiative of the Fuel Cell and Hydrogen Joint Undertaking (FCH JU) under grant agreement number 303411. The author would like to use the opportunity to thank the project partners for their assistance and for letting this paper become a reality. The project partners are: Hydrogenics, Colruyt, Thinkstep, TUV, Icelandic New Energy, FAST and Waterstofnet. Special thanks to Denis Thomas at Hydrogenics for the input he provided.en_US
