Low-Carbon Business Opportunity Analyser
The Low-Carbon Business Opportunity Analyser is an interactive web application that assesses production and export costs as well as greenhouse gas emissions of fossil gas-based hydrogen with Carbon Capture and Storage (CCS) and various other hydrogen-based products across different countries.
About this tool
The tool traces the entire value chain: starting from the use of fossil gas to produce products like hydrogen, ammonia, steel or e-fuels in an export country, right through to the final delivery. Users receive a detailed cost breakdown that clearly shows the competitive edge between different exporting nations. To help users get started quickly, the app features a comprehensive default dataset for all covered countries, providing a solid baseline for pre-feasibility assessments. For a highly tailored analysis, users can easily adjust all variables to reflect specific local inputs.
