Hydrogen Production Capital Cost Inputs

The individual technologies in a Low-Carbon Hydrogen Production plant use the same set of capital cost parameters. The parameters on these Capital Cost parameter screens define the financing assumptions associated with the technology. The following parameters are available:

•General Facilities Capital (%BEC): This parameter defines the total construction cost of the general facilities, including roads, office buildings, and laboratories. It is estimated as a percentage of the Bare Erected Cost (BEC).

•Eng. & Home Office Fees (E) (% BEC): This parameter defines the engineering and home office overhead and fees. It is estimated as a percentage of BEC.

•Process Contingency Cost (C) (%BEC): This parameter defines the uncertainty in the technical performance of equipment and the cost of the equipment, depending on the status of the technology development. It is estimated as a percentage of BEC.

•Project Contingency Cost (%(BEC+E+C)): This parameter defines the uncertainty in the project cost estimate itself, depending on the project design level. It is estimated as a percentage of BEC + E + C, where E is Engineering & Home Office Fees, and C is the Process Contingency Cost.
