Hydrogen Markets
Analysis of the economics, regulation and outlook for the hydrogen market.
Goal
The main goal of this project is to gain a better understanding of the barriers to a hydrogen market and how these barriers can be overcome.
Description
This project focuses on:
- analysis of fundamental flaws in the design of hydrogen markets to determine to what extent the hydrogen market can develop automatically or to what extent regulatory intervention is required.
- analysis of the economic interaction with other energy markets to assess the prospects for the hydrogen market, in particular the relationship with the electricity market as this is an important input for hydrogen production by electrolysis.
- investigating the willingness of energy users to pay an additional premium on top of the 'normal' energy price due to (the renewable nature of) hydrogen production.
Our role
