Banger - Yes. This was a comprehensive study.
It is also a confidential client study, so my findings and posts can't go into great detail here.
As to WHEN some hydrogen applications become viable, how high is up ?
There are so many internal and external factors which will determine "when" , that no one really knows for sure.
In an earlier post I did provide the metrics so that anyone here can make their own calculations for Grey/Green Hydrogen Breakeven and ROI's.
The biggest limiting factor for Hydrogen applications are the Laws of Physics and Thermodynamics.
It will always takes more energy to manufacture Hydrogen than the yields produce. Finding raw hydrogen underground, circumvents the manufacturing process, but we have yet to see any meaningful raw hydrogen production.

Hydrogen has a place :
My firm recently did a "State of the Industry" Client Study on Hydrogen, Here are some of our findings :
- Legacy Hydrogen ; Grey Hydrogen for the petrochemical sector, is the only commercially viable use of hydrogen at scale
- No on-road use of hydrogen has been financially sustainable (cars, trucks, busses, stations)
- No off-road use of hydrogen has been financially sustainable (marine, GSE's, aircraft )
- Hydrogen for Power Generation (Primary, Secondary, Back-Up) is not financially sustainable
- All Four Legacy hydrogen producers have scaled back or cancelled major capital projects involving hydrogen
- Of the 100+ Major Capital Projects involving hydrogen that have been announced to the public, LESS than 10 will be built , with no guarantee of success.
- There are hundreds of new concepts and technologies involving Hydrogen, but NONE are commercially viable at this time
- There are hundreds of new concepts and technologies involving hydrogen which work, but NONE are economic or commercially sustainable
