Hydrogen Demand Calculator
Calculate hydrogen demand for various applications including thermal, mobility, green methanol, and green ammonia production
Note:
The calculations provided by HyCalc are intended for preliminary estimates and scenario exploration. While we strive for accuracy, we recommend consulting qualified engineers for final system design, safety decisions, and regulatory compliance in your specific application.
Technical Notes
- Thermal calculations based on fuel-specific higher heating values (HHV) and lower heating values (LHV)
- Mobility calculations use direct H₂ vehicle fuel efficiency in kg/100km
- Green methanol production based on stoichiometric ratio (CO₂ + 3H₂ → CH₃OH + H₂O), requiring 0.126 kg H₂ per kg methanol. Process efficiency accounts for real-world losses
- Green ammonia production based on stoichiometric ratio (N₂ + 3H₂ → 2NH₃), requiring 0.178 kg H₂ per kg ammonia. Process efficiency accounts for real-world losses
- Fuel cell calculations based on hydrogen's higher heating value (HHV) of 33.3 kWh/kg. Typical fuel cell efficiencies range from 40-60%
- Steel production calculations based on industry average consumption of 55 kg H₂ per tonne of steel for direct reduction of iron. Process efficiency accounts for real-world variations
