Standard financial model for decentralized electrolysis

Many entrepreneurs, including greenhouse growers, see opportunities with hydrogen to make their energy supply and that of others more sustainable. In practice, however, it proves difficult to move from idea to a profitable business case. A new financial model from Invest-NL helps to better estimate local hydrogen projects and to effectively justify them to financiers, thus speeding up the transition to realisation.

Invest-NL has developed a public calculation model for decentralized electrolysis. The model – developed in collaboration with greenhouse growers and financiers – demonstrates how different combinations of solar generation, grid connection, battery, and electrolyser perform financially. It presents the key assumptions and results clearly, providing a solid basis for discussions with financiers and potential customers.

The financial model for decentralised electrolysis is freely available via the website of industry association NLHydrogen . Want to learn more about the model and how it works? Download the PDF for more information.
