Electrolyser CAPEX and efficiency data for: Potential and risks of hydrogen-based e-fuels in climate change mitigation

Material compiled for analysis in this paper:

Ueckerdt F, Bauer C, Dirnaichner A, Everall J, Sacchi R, Luderer R (2021) Potential and risks of hydrogen-based e-fuels in climate change mitigation. Nature Climate Change.

The material includes:
1) a spreadsheet file with technoeconomic data
2) an R Markdown script which is the source code for an interactive dashboard used to visualise (1)
3) a README file to assist with navigation of the data in (1)

1) The spreadsheet data contains CAPEX, efficiency and other supplementary data for small to large scale electrolysers for current, and future years. Data was collected based on a Literature Review of a variety of academic and industry sources conducted during the course of the title paper development. The data are differentiated by several categories including electrolysis method, source publication year and literature type. Care was taken to avoid recycled cost values, and to focus on the currency of the data, with values included to indicate the oldest reference year of any cited literature.

2) The R Markdown script in combination with the spreadsheet data is used as a basis for an interactive dashboard which can be run with an R installation and the supporting packages, or viewed online at https://h2.pik-potsdam.de/H2Dash/
