[LDES-technology] Hydrogen trade ?

[Kittner, Noah]

I found the concept and results of this new paper interesting because it suggest solar in the Atacama desert could deliver hydrogen by 2025 at 1.7-1.9 USD/kg and export it to Japan, at a lower cost than local hydrogen from wind in Japan – which highlights another aspect of hydrogen that hasn’t been discussed often – that hydrogen could take advantage of different trading networks.

However at the same time the transport cost would be a large unknown and potential barrier to seeing this through – as the cost of hydrogen could double.

Anyway, one aspect to consider for our group is that hydrogen could serve as long duration storage and could be produced in CA or outside CA. I just hadn’t seen other papers do this kind of analysis for hydrogen.
