Hydrogen calculator

Use our hydrogen calculator to quickly and accurately analyse the economic viability of your electrolysis plant. Based on electricity prices, water costs, plant size and utilisation, calculate the amount of hydrogen produced, the energy requirement and the production costs per kilogram of H₂.

The calculator is ideal for evaluating hydrogen projects in industry, energy supply and mobility, and provides you with reliable key figures for planning and investment decisions.

The hydrogen calculator is based on realistic, real-world parameters:

• Electricity costs (ct/kWh)
• Water costs (€/m³)
• Selling price of hydrogen (€/kg)
• Capacity of the electrolysis plant (MW)
• Operating hours per day
• Plant utilisation (load point in %)

These variables enable the simple calculation of various scenarios – from full-load operation to dynamic operating strategies.

Our H₂ calculator provides you with a comprehensive overview of all relevant key figures:

• Annual turnover from H₂ sales
• Electricity and water costs
• Amount of hydrogen produced (kg and Nm³)
• Amount of oxygen produced (kg and Nm³)
• Calorific value of the hydrogen produced (kWh)
• Operating profit based on energy and water costs
• Operating and full-load hours of the electrolysis plant
• Electricity consumption of the electrolysis plant (kWh)

With the hydrogen calculator, you can quickly and easily calculate various scenarios for your electrolysis plant – from electricity costs to capacity utilisation. This allows you to see immediately how changes affect your production costs and overall profitability.
