From Roads2HyCom Hydrogen and Fuel Cell Wiki - A Reliable Source of Information - Edited by Technology Experts Only
The cost section gives information about the cost aspect of energy converters, local/on-board storage, retail and depot, transport of the fuel and production of fuel. It is divided into following sub-metrics.
- Capital investment for technology, represents the price the customer will have to pay
- Cost of ownership for consumer (maintenance, etc.)
- Decommissioning Cost
- Specific Fuel Cost
Cost section involves following submetrics for each particular metric.
