IEA analysis finds that the cost of producing hydrogen from renewable electricity could fall 30% by 2030 as a result of declining costs of renewables and the scaling up of hydrogen production. Fuel cells, refuelling equipment and electrolysers (which produce hydrogen from electricity and water) can all benefit from mass manufacturing.
The energy indicator for grid and green hydrogen has a value of 13.39–14.29, versus a value of 4.59–5.48 for other hydrogen production methods from natural gas. The cost for green hydrogen is slightly higher (8.76) compared to the blue hydrogen (5.50) however green hydrogen has a much lower impact to the environment.
Appropriate operating and design conditions for hydrogen fuel cell systems for practical applications can be determined with optimization tools. Life cycle

3 · Hydrogen is a versatile energy carrier with a wide range of potential applications. It can be used in fuel cells to generate electricity and heat, making it a potential energy source for buildings and electric vehicles. It can also be used to store renewable energy, helping to balance the supply and demand on the power grid.
A fuel cell is an energy converter device that produces electricity via the electrochemical reaction, with water as the by-product. The application of fuel cells is strongly related to the economic aspect, including local and infrastructure costs, making it more relevant to be implemented in a developed country.
