Abstract
While data for policy-making and planning is available for solar and wind resources, this is lacking for renewable hydrogen. Even as hydrogen is seen as an important part of the energy transition away from fossil fuels, it is unclear where, and at what costs hydrogen could be produced at scale and supplied into the global energy system. The lack of available data creates challenges for planning and investment decisions. We present a database that provides techno-economic data on hydrogen production from solar and wind and describes global technological and economic potential. The database starts from 10 years of ERA5 reanalysis data and adds technology performance data to enable optimization of renewable hydrogen supply at the global level. We illustrate potential use of the database by optimising the installed capacity for solar-PV, wind turbines, lithium-ion batteries, and electrolysers to meet future hydrogen demand. The data provides a timely and valuable view of the supply side of renewable hydrogen aiming to underpin renewable energy and hydrogen policy considerations.
