LCOH whitepaper presentation thumbnail

The levelized cost of hydrogen (LCOH) must be reduced for green hydrogen production to meet net-zero demands. In collaboration with FEV Consulting, Gore conducted a study to evaluate the impact of Proton Exchange Membrane (PEM) attributes on the LCOH in the following three use case scenarios: steel mill, offshore wind plant and a PV hydrogen production hub. The “material to system level” model compared the GORE® PEM M275.80 to a relevant Market PEM as well as against a reference Alkaline electrolysis system.

Whitepaper: Reducing LCOH with advanced Proton Exchange Membranes

This study set out to investigate the impact of PEM design on the LCOH for three distinct use cases: dedicated hydrogen production powered by nuclear, a green hydrogen production plant powered by offshore wind, and a local hydrogen production hub powered by a photovoltaic system. The GORE® PEM M275.80 was compared against both a state-of-the-art comparable market product and alkaline electrolysis, and found to be superior in all three use cases — offering the lowest LCOH thanks to its high cell efficiency.
