The Hydrogen Economy: Opportunities, Costs, Barriers, and R&D Needs
FIGURE 6-22 Estimated total annual fuel costs for light-duty vehicles: possible future hydrogen production technologies (fossil fuels and nuclear energy), 2000–2050. See Table 5-2 in Chapter 5 and discussion in text. NOTE: The cost curve for nuclear thermal energy (CS Nu-F) is obscured by the cost curve for distributed generation from natural gas (Dist NG-F), since these two cost estimates are virtually identical.
