The GreenHydrogen.Ninja: Global levelised cost of green hydrogen from wind, solar and hybrid generation

Green hydrogen’s role in global decarbonisation depends on its cost and carbon footprint. These vary widely in existing modelling studies, prohibiting a coherent global evaluation. Here, we present underlying data that assesses global levelised costs and embodied carbon for green hydrogen from wind, solar PV and hybrid systems, using spatially granular renewable profiles over 96,000 locations and country-specific costs of capital to optimise electrolyser sizing relative to the on-site renewable capacity. Required costs and carbon intensity of grid imports of electricity to not worsen the average carbon footprint or levelised cost of hydrogen are also assessed.
