Socio-Economic Impact of Hydrogen Investment: The SEI Ratio

Why watch it?

How should the social benefit of a hydrogen investment be weighed against its cost? This short presentation describes a quantitative model applied to a proposed 1 GW of green and 2 GW of blue hydrogen in Tees Valley, UK, over 2027–2035. It argues that lasting investment rests on benefits such as public acceptance and welfare, not finance alone, and proposes the SEI ratio of socio-economic impact to levelised cost of hydrogen (LCOH).
