Lecture 15: The Economics of Hydrogen Production by Electrolysis

IIT Roorkee July 201827 minEnglish

Why watch it?

The fifteenth lecture in an IIT Roorkee course looks at what drives the cost of electrolytic hydrogen. It contrasts alkaline and PEM electrolyzers on capital cost, stack lifetime and system components, then turns to electricity pricing and power supply, the oxygen by-product credit and sensitivity analysis for a central hydrogen plant. A vendor-neutral academic introduction for students and engineers. The lecturer is not named in the description, and although the upload is dated 2026, the original recording date is unclear.
