This report explores strategies and policies to drive innovation, cut costs for electrolysers and make green hydrogen a least-cost solution wherever needed. With larger production facilities, design standardization and insights from early adopters, the proposed strategies could cut costs by 40% in the short term and up to 80% in the long term, this study finds. The reports contain a clear presentation of the four types of electrolysers: Alkaline and polymer electrolyte membrane (PEM) – already at commercial stage ant Anion exchange membrane (AEM) and solid oxide - now at lab scale, promise a major step forward
