Green chemicals
The economic viability of green chemicals depends on a chain of interlinked cost drivers spanning renewable power generation, hydrogen production, and downstream conversion processes.
This area brings together multiple analytical dimensions to assess cost structures and sensitivities across the green chemicals value chain.
Representative analytical coverage includes:
Life-cycle costs of solar, onshore wind, and offshore wind generation
Renewable hybrid and round-the-clock (RE-RTC) power configurations
Green hydrogen production economics
Downstream green chemical production pathways
The emphasis is on understanding how changes in underlying assumptions propagate through the system and affect overall costs, rather than on producing single deterministic estimates.
Default assumptions are based on current assessments, with the analytical structure designed to accommodate alternative scenarios and boundary conditions as required.
Illustrative explorations
Selected analytical explorations and quantitative illustrations are provided to demonstrate the application of this framework.
Temporal availability of renewable power is a critical input in green hydrogen and downstream green chemical cost assessment, as it directly influences electrolyser utilisation, storage requirements, and overall system configuration.
An illustrative quantitative assessment of green hydrogen production costs, based on representative assumptions and simplified renewable profiles, is available below:

To support the above illustration, additional statistical deep dives into representative renewable capacity utilisation factor (CUF) profiles are provided below. These analyses highlight seasonal and diurnal availability patterns that are relevant for electrolyser sizing, utilisation, and hybrid system design.

Viewed together, these analytical components provide an integrated framework for evaluating green chemical economics, enabling consistent assessment of cost sensitivities across power, hydrogen, and downstream conversion pathways under alternative scenarios
