Table 4. Electricity cost and hydrogen production cost of AKL, PEM, and SOEC under energy mix scenario
| (a) Nuclear and renewable mixing ratio to reach the threshold |
| Type of electrolyzer | Mixing ratio | System power consumption (kWh/kgH2) | Electricity cost (₩/kWh) | Production cost (₩/kg) | Target cost (₩/kg) |
| Nuclear | Renewable |
| AKL | 53.85 % | 46.15 % | 64.20 | 105.68 | 6,785 (+27.2%) | 5,333 |
| PEM | 56.04 % | 43.96 % | 66.85 | 105.13 | 7,028 (+31.8%) | 5,333 |
| (b) 100 % nuclear |
| Type of electrolyzer | Mixing ratio | System power consumption (kWh/kgH2) | Electricity cost (₩/kWh) | Production cost (₩/kg) | Target cost (₩/kg) |
| Nuclear | Renewable |
| AKL | 100 % | - | 64.20 | 94.10 | 6,041 (+13.3%) | 5,333 |
| PEM | 100 % | - | 66.85 | 94.10 | 6,291 (+18.0%) | 5,333 |
| (c) 100 % renewable |
| Type of electrolyzer | Mixing ratio | System power consumption (kWh/kgH2) | Electricity cost (₩/kWh) | Production cost (₩/kg) | Target cost (₩/kg) |
| Nuclear | Renewable |
| AKL | - | 100 % | 64.20 | 119.20 | 7,653 (+43.5%) | 5,333 |
| PEM | - | 100 % | 66.85 | 119.20 | 7,969 (+49.4%) | 5,333 |
Production cost is the hydrogen price calculated by considering only electricity costs, without taking into account CapEx and OPEX.
