“…The production of blue hydrogen is based on carbon capture and storage (CCS), 12 a technology that involves capturing the carbon dioxide (CO 2 ) obtained during the hydrogen production process and storing it in geologically safe places, such as underground reservoirs of oil and gas. 13 This process begins with natural gas reforming, a chemical reaction that transforms natural gas into hydrogen and carbon dioxide. 14 The hydrogen is then separated from the carbon dioxide and purified, and the CO 2 is captured and stored securely.…”

“…According to a report by the Hydrogen Energy Council [37], the cost of hydrogen will drop dramatically over the next decade, and is expected to drop by as much as 50% by 2030. The cost of hydrogen production from coal has been reported to be 7.24-19.4 RMB per kg under different conditions [38]. Although the cost of hydrogen production from renewable energy by electrolytic water is still at a high level, it is expected to be reduced to a competitive level in the future, compared with traditional methods of hydrogen production, as technology advances [7,39].…”

Carbon dioxide capture and utilization (CCU) technology is a significant means by which China can achieve its ambitious carbon neutrality goal. It is necessary to explore the behavioral strategies of relevant companies in adopting CCU technology. In this paper, an evolutionary game model is established in order to analyze the interaction process and evolution direction of local governments and coal-fired power plants. We develop a replicator dynamic system and analyze the stability of the system under different conditions. Based on numerical simulation, we analyze the impact of key parameters on the strategies of stakeholders. The simulation results show that the unit prices of hydrogen and carbon dioxide derivatives have the most significant impact: when the unit price of hydrogen decreases to 15.9 RMB/kg or the unit price of carbon dioxide derivatives increases to 3.4 RMB/kg, the evolutionary stabilization strategy of the system changes and power plants shift to adopt CCU technology. The results of this paper suggest that local governments should provide relevant support policies and incentives for CCU technology deployment, as well as focusing on the synergistic development of CCU technology and renewable energy hydrogen production technology.

“…The raw material supply, production, transmission, distribution, sale, use, storage, and recovery of electric power are closely related to the entire life cycle of a BEV. Levelized cost analysis based on LCC could facilitate cost comparisons between different energy chains, and it has already been applied to research on electricity generation (Fan et al, 2019), hydrogen production (Fan et al, 2022), and fuel production (Shirazi et al, 2019).…”

The diffusion of new energy vehicles (NEVs), such as battery electric vehicles (BEVs) and fuel cell vehicles (FCVs), is critical to the transportation sector’s deep decarbonization. The cost of energy chains is an important factor in the diffusion of NEVs. Although researchers have addressed the technological learning effect of NEVs and the life cycle emissions associated with the diffusion of NEVs, little work has been conducted to analyze the life cycle costs of different energy chains associated with different NEVs in consideration of technological learning potential. Thus, relevant information on investment remains insufficient to promote the deployment of NEVs. This study proposes a systematic framework that includes various (competing or coordinated) energy chains of NEVs formed with different technologies of power generation and transmission, hydrogen production and transportation, power-to-liquid fuel, and fuel transportation. The levelized costs of three typical carbon-neutral energy chains are investigated using the life cycle cost model and considering the technological learning effect. Results show that the current well-to-pump levelized costs of the energy chains in China for BEVs, FCVs, and internal combustion engine vehicles (ICEVs) are approximately 3.60, 4.31, and 2.21 yuan/GJ, respectively, and the well-to-wheel levelized costs are 4.50, 6.15, and 7.51 yuan/GJ, respectively. These costs primarily include raw material costs, and they vary greatly for BEVs and FCVs from resource and consumer costs. In consideration of the technological learning effect, the energy chains’ well-to-wheel levelized costs are expected to decrease by 24.82% for BEVs, 27.12% for FCVs, and 19.25% for ICEVs by 2060. This work also summarizes policy recommendations on developing energy chains to promote the diffusion of NEVs in China.
