Shell
Shell made a decision earlier this year to build Europe’s largest green hydrogen plant in Holland, which will have a capacity to produce up to 60,000 kilograms of hydrogen per day when the project will be completed in 2025. Just so we can get a better understanding of what this means to Shell’s bottom line, as well as in terms of other considerations, we should start by looking at the current and expected price of hydrogen.
There is some uncertainty in regard to how much a kilogram of hydrogen will fetch on the market in 2025 in Europe, but recent forward contracts might be a decent indication. For the purpose of this article, I opted to use the average between the forward price of around 6 euros/kg, and recent prices which have been spiking to about 23 euros/kg, which yields an average of about 15 euros/kg.
