abstract = {Water electrolysis is a promising technology for storing
surplus energy from intermittent renewable energy sources in
the form of hydrogen. The future investment costs of water
electrolysis represent one key challenge for a
hydrogen-based energy system. In this work, a literature
review was conducted to evaluate the published data on
investment costs and learning rates for PEM and alkaline
electrolyzers from the 1990s until 2017 and the years
beyond. The collected data are adjusted for inflation and
specified in €2017 per kW-output using the higher heating
value (HHV). $R\&D$ efforts have led to impressive cost
reductions in the observed period, especially for PEM
technology, while cost reductions for alkaline technology
have also been decent. The overall spread of the cost
estimations in the 1990s was in a range between 306 and 4748
€2017/kWHHV-Output. Today's estimations for future
investment costs (through 2030) for both technologies are
narrowed towards values of 397 and 955 €2017/kWHHV-Output.
Higher automation, mass production, larger cell areas,
market penetration and technology development will all have
a further impact on the investment costs.},
