Adjustment Factors

← Previous | Next →

The parameters on the Adjustment Factors screen define cost multipliers used to adjust the baseline capital cost estimates for the hydrogen pipeline system. These factors can be used to account for regional variations, project-specific conditions, or updated cost information. The H2 pipeline has the following capital cost process areas:

•Pipeline

•Material Cost: This includes the cost of line pipe, pipe coatings, and cathodic protection.

•Labor Cost: This covers the cost of labor during pipeline construction.

•ROW & Damage Cost: This is the cost of obtaining right-of-way for the pipeline. This cost not only includes compensating landowners for signing easement agreements, but landowners may also be paid for loss of certain uses of the land during and after construction, loss of any other resources, and any damage to property.

•Miscellaneous Cost: This includes the costs of surveying, engineering, supervision, contingencies, telecommunications equipment, freight, taxes, allowances for funds used during construction (AUFDC), administration and overheads, and regulatory filing fees.

•Compressor

•Material Cost: This includes the cost of compressor units, drivers, cooling systems, auxiliary equipment, instrumentation, and associated piping and electrical systems.

•Labor Cost: This covers the cost of labor required for compressor station construction, installation, testing, and commissioning.

•Land Cost: This is the cost of acquiring land for the compressor station, including site preparation and development.

•Miscellaneous Cost: This includes the costs of engineering, supervision, contingencies, telecommunications equipment, freight, taxes, administration and overheads, regulatory filing fees, and allowances for funds used during construction (AFUDC).
