Green Hydrogen (Electrolysis) Plant - Project Finance Model (Excel XLSX)

Today, the most common way of producing green hydrogen is via electrolysis - a process whereby water is split into hydrogen and oxygen using electricity generated from entirely renewable energy sources. This occurs in units known as electrolyzers.

This Finance Model provides a dynamic (up to 20 years) forecast and profitability analysis of a development and operating scenario for a Green Hydrogen (Electrolysis) Plant. The main purpose of the model is to enable users to get a solid understanding of the financial feasibility of the project and to evaluate the return to investors.

The model includes all necessary data to calculate development and construction costs, hydrogen production, revenue, and operating expenses, financing through Debt & Equity and project return metrics (IRR, NPV, MOIC, Payback, etc.)

The structure of the template follows Financial Modeling Best Practices principles and is fully customizable.
