Description
This project focuses on:
- analysis of fundamental shortcomings in the design of hydrogen markets in order to determine to what extent the market for hydrogen is able to develop automatically or to what extent regulatory intervention is required.
- analysis of the economic interaction with other energy markets in order to assess the outlook for the hydrogen market, in particular the relation with the electricity market because this a major input of making hydrogen through electrolysis.
- the preparedness of energy users to pay an additional premium on top of the ‘normal’ energy price because of the renewable character of how the hydrogen is produced.
