By contrast, rising gas prices mean blue hydrogen production costs are now $6-18/kg. The IEA has noted that blue hydrogen costs were $1-2/kg in 2020 before natural gas prices started to escalate later in 2021. “We are living in a completely different reality because of the war in Ukraine and the subsequent energy crisis,” says Oleksiy Tatarenko, an economist at RMI. $2-5/kg – Cost of green hydrogen pr
