Platts launches UK low-carbon hydrogen assessments ahead of state strategy

摘要

S&P Global Platts launched a suite of UK hydrogen price assessments April 1, shedding light on three different low-carbon production pathways for the energy carrier ahead of publication by the government of a formal hydrogen strategy. The assessments reflect the daily cost of hydrogen production via autothermal reforming of natural gas with carbon capture and sequestration, proton exchange membrane electrolysis and alkaline electrolysis. "The UK has significant plans aimed at accelerating hydrogen production and consumption as part of its 2050 Net Zero carbon plan, and hydrogen continues to attract interest from investors, policymakers and energy market participants as a carrier for clean energy," said Jeffrey McDonald, Hydrogen Pricing Specialist at S&P Global Platts.
