New Report from KBR Supports Potential for US$1.75/kg Hydrogen from Syntholene's ...

KBR's independent review validates Syntholene's geothermal-integrated hydrogen production at US$1.75/kg under best-case conditions and US$2.10/kg under broad deployment, positioning it below current European green hydrogen benchmarks (US$7.66/kg) and competitive with fossil SMR with carbon capture (US$4.70/kg). The analysis is based on modelling and assumptions rather than commercial operating data, with key risks including SOEC stack degradation and geothermal resource access.
