" Most of the hydrogen produced today is consumed on site, such as at an oil
refinery, and is not sold on the market. From large-scale production,
hydrogen costs $0.32/lb if it is consumed on site. When hydrogen is sold on
the market, the cost of liquefying the hydrogen and transporting it to the
user must be added to the production cost. This can increase the selling
price to $1.00 - 1.40/lb for delivered liquid hydrogen. Some users who
require relatively small amounts of very pure hydrogen (such as the
electronics industry) may use electrolyzers to produce high-purity hydrogen
at their facilities. The cost of this hydrogen, which depends on the cost of
the electricity used to split the water, is typically $1.00 - $2.00/lb."
