Abstract

The increase of CO2 emission is the main actor of climate change. Indonesia committed through NDC at COP26 to reduce GHG emissions by 31% and achieve NZE by 2060. Indonesia’s State Electricity Company, PT PLN, has planned to develop 20.9 GW of renewable energy power plants by 2030 including PV Power Plant. The utilization of electricity supply from PV for massive production of green hydrogen potentially substitute the conventional fuel in the future. This study aims to obtain indicative green hydrogen gas tariff through off-grid Solar PV in remote area providing financial feasibility. The method is conducted by collecting manufacturers operation data, scoring analysis, project cost estimation, financial analysis and comparison to conventional fuel price. Results show the selected Manufacturer requires 67 kWh of electricity and 10 litres of water per kilogram of hydrogen. The PV system design will utilize 30 units of 480 Wp PV modules, 4 kWac inverter and one unit energy management system (EMS). Under 9 USD/kg hydrogen price, a positive Net Present Value (NPV) is obtained, IRR (11,03%) is above discounted rate, Payback Period (PBP) of 7.9 years and Benefit Cost Ratio (BCR) more than 1.
