Summary:

This document reports the levelized cost in 2005 U.S. dollars, energy use, and GHG emission benefits of seven hydrogen production, delivery, and distribution pathways. The pathways are described in detail, and system-level parameters are reported and referenced. Availability, cost, and characteristics of necessary resources are reported, as is the current status of supporting infrastructure. The sensitivities of each pathway's cost, pathway energy use, well-to-wheels energy use, and well-to-wheels emissions to many of the primary parameters are reported as an aid in understanding and assessing technology needs and progress, potential environmental impacts, and the energy-related economic benefits of various options. Some of the results are compared with those of current gasoline, diesel, and E85 vehicles including gasoline hybrid electric vehicles.
