Methodology

Sources & methodology

Everything on this site is built from indices and reports that are public, or available on request. This page says which is which today.

Price indices

HyXchange HYCLICXDutch electrolysis marginal-cost indicator, €/MWh HHV. Daily automated "PLUS" series published since 1 January 2026; hourly data available on request from the HyXchange team — no public API. Status: not yet integrated.
EEX HYDRIXEuropean Energy Exchange's real-time hydrogen price index, in XML/JSON/CSV. The EEX webshop states it is free of charge until further notice; terms should be re-checked before relying on it. Status: not yet integrated.
CEGH GreenHydrogen IndexAustrian cost-plus index for green hydrogen — PPA 100% (RED II compliant), PPA 40, spot, and an 8-point forward curve. Scraped from CEGH's public page (server-rendered HTML tables, no API needed) by scripts/price_scraper.py. €/MWh converted to €/kg at 39.4 kWh/kg HHV. Status: integrated — live, shown on the home page.
IEA Global Hydrogen Review, via ACER CHESTProduction cost ranges (EUR2024/kg) by technology, 2024 vs. a 2030 projection. ACER republishes the full IEA dataset as a plain HTML table — no login or CSV-export flow needed. Scraped by scripts/iea_cost_scraper.py, grouped into grey (gas/coal without CCUS), blue (gas/coal with CCUS), and green (solar, onshore/offshore wind) ranges. Not a live price — a periodically-updated benchmark. Status: integrated — shown on the home page.
Industry surveysCountry-level $/kg benchmarks (e.g. Expert Market Research) used for grey/blue/green comparisons outside Europe, where no public index exists. Status: not yet integrated.
Checked and ruled outChina's "Hydrogen Price Index" (SMM/metal.com) has real numbers but an explicit no-copying notice and a partial paywall — not scraped. Japan/Korea have no free hydrogen $/kg index (Argus/Platts price ammonia, not hydrogen, and are subscription-only). EU Hydrogen Bank and UK HAR auction clearing prices are real but one-off events, not a continuous series — candidates for the news feed rather than the price tables.

Price snapshot & chart (today's page)

The grey/blue/green snapshot cards and the LCOH trend chart on the home page are illustrative placeholders, not live data. They will switch to real figures once at least one of the indices above is wired into scripts/price_scraper.py and json/price_snapshot.json / json/price_history.json are populated on a schedule.
