According to estimates by the DOE (1000 Independence Ave., SW, Washington, DC 20585; Tel: 800-dial-DOE) Hydrogen Program, the Fuel Cells for Transportation Program, and the Fuels for Fuel Cells Program Annual R& D review, the current cost of off-board hydrogen production and dispensing is $19.20 per gigajoule of H2 ($/GJ H2) or $0.069/kW. The goal for 2005 is to reduce the cost to $17.20 $/GJ or $3.00/gal of gasoline equivalent by 2005 and further reduce the cost by 2010 to $16.20 $/GJ H2 or $0.058/kW or $2.10/gal of gasoline equivalent. A gigajoule is roughly 277.7 kW.
The cost of a 50-kWe (net) integrated fuel cell power system is $300/kW operating on Tier 2 gasoline containing 30 ppm of sulfur. The 2005 goal is $125/kW and the 2010 goal is $45/kW. The power...
