Data item details

Name: Typical breakdown of the levelised cost of electrolytic hydrogen of an alkaline electrolyser for four different production pathways – October 2025 (EUR/kg and EUR/MWh)

Source: ACER, using the LCOH calculation tool of the European Hydrogen Observatory.

Comment: The default cost and the operating assumptions of the tool for an alkaline electrolyser were used for the calculations apart from grid fees in Germany which were set to zero. For the grid electricity supply case the tool calculation assumes operation of the electrolyser during the least expensive 4,000 hours of the year. Cost and electricity source-related date refer to 2024.
