Why the economics of green hydrogen are about to shift

Wednesday, 14th January 2026
12:00 – 14:00

Summary

Green hydrogen is produced by electrically splitting water into hydrogen and oxygen – a process executed by electrolysers. However, legacy electrolysers currently used rely on outdated designs and electrode technologies that are inefficient and cannot adapt to fluctuating energy supplies. They consume too much energy and cannot tap into cheap renewable power or day-ahead electricity markets – driving green hydrogen costs up. This presentation shows how new electrode technologies and modern electrolyser architectures are overcoming these barriers and unlocking flexible, affordable green hydrogen production.

  • Why legacy electrolyser and electrode technologies structurally fail to deliver competitive green hydrogen under real-world energy conditions.
  • How next-generation electrode performance enables hydrogen assets to operate profitably and take advantage of intermittent renewable and volatile electricity markets.
  • Strategic implications for energy developers: lowering LCOH, improving utilization, and strengthening bankability for large-scale hydrogen projects.
