Study Conclusions

• Main H2 competitors are Biomass and Fossil (coal or NG) gasification

• Must use large fusion plants for economy of scale

• Fusion plants must be affordable with high availability

• COH is lower if subsidized by peak electricity

  • Production COE must be lower than peak!

It may be possible for hydrogen from off-peak fusion power to compete with other low or zero CO2 options, but stringent cost and performance goals must be met and peak power must be valuable.
