About

Hydrogen can be an abundant energy source. With personal hydrogen appliances and solar energy, energy abundance is possible in a distributed way.

To do so, we need:

  1. Open source HICE as the next engine of civilization. Modular and scalable, manufactured in local microfactories with digital age precision.
  2. Storage vessels
  3. Hydrogen generation at low cost from renewable energy, demonetizing energy. As opposed to Brown Hydrogen

Cost of Production and Storage

  • Cost of green hydrogen is $4.5/kg in 2023. [1]
    • p13. 1 GW [2] of electrolysis has been installed by 2024, and 12 GW have passed Financial Investment Decision (FID) [3]. 1 GW of electrolysis is about a million metric tons per year or a billion kg. The equivalence is about 1 watt of electrolyzer to 1 kg per annum - good figure to remember
      • Cross.png Bogus. 1 watt is under 9kWhr per year if running 24/7 - how do we get 1 kg if electrolysis cost 55kWhr/kg?
    • Projections of 300 GW by 2030 are announced on p. 11 [4] but reality so far was 20% meeting of goals to present.
    • p17 - Hydrogen refueling stations increased from 700 to 1100 between 2021 and 2023 worldwide.
  • This is for centralized production. OSE proposes ntegrated decentralized production on the home and village scale, which can be done today at approximately $1.4/kg if you DIY.
    • Cost of solar electricity: 1 kW installed yields 66MWhrs over life of the PV panel (see Minimum Cost Solar for the 20 cent case), with BOS costs near zero in a building integrated system with efficient wiring and stringing to feed an electrolyzer directly with minimum power management equipment.
    • The above 66 MWhrs
