Biogenic hydrogen
Influence of CDR Price and Economies of Scale for Biohydrogen Production
Short Introductive summary
This study examines the economic dynamics of biomass gasification for sustainable hydrogen production, particularly when integrated with carbon dioxide removal (CDR) to achieve negative emissions. Using techno-economic modelling and sensitivity analysis, it assesses how factors such as plant scale, feedstock variability, and CDR pricing affect costs and competitiveness. Building on prior BECCS-to-X research, the study identifies key trade-offs between scaling and CDR integration, providing strategies to enhance economic resilience and mitigate environmental impact in biohydrogen production.
