Hydrogen can be transported by pipeline from Alberta to Canadian West Coast. Used the Northern Gateway 1,150 km Right of Way as a proxy to deliver Hydrogen Gas to Kitimat. The total cost is US$2.78/MMBtu H2 with CAPEX at US$2.14/MMBtu H2 and OPEX at US$0.64/MMBtu H2.

Modeling Parameters:

  • 380 Tonne H2/day pipeline input
  • 1,150 km, 16 inch pipeline
  • CAPEX USD$2,020 MM
  • 90% load factor
  • 35:65 Equity to Debt
  • 15% Equity return
  • 7% Debt cost
  • Natural Gas Compression
