Green hydrogen will become the cheapest form of hydrogen production by 2026, even without the inevitable (and huge) technological disruption, according to Rethink Energy. Falling electricity costs, economies of scale, and increasingly aggressive carbon taxation will eliminate the need for ‘blue’ hydrogen as an interim solution, while driving the emergence of hydrogen markets in the likes of China by the middle of the decade. Rethink Energy will publish its first forecast for hydrogen production in early October, although early projections indicate that economics alone will drive an explosive demand for electrolysis to tackle ‘hard to decarbonize’ industries like transport, steelmaking, and home heating. The ‘tipping point’ that many are failing to correctly forecast is the timeframe in which the bulk…
