      it’s currently about 5x the cost to produce so i think some other incentives are probably needed as well…

        Currently, but a large part of that cost is due to energy prices. If you have cheaper energy, or periods of excess energy that bring the cost down to/near zero, that is what brings down the cost.

          if only we actually got there… here the prices have been climbing more and more the more wind turbines we install because of grid instability.

          honestly a great pilot area for energy storage.

            Variable tariffs are an option here and can give you periods of very cheap, free or even negative cost energy.

              here too, but it doesn’t really help the people who live in apartments :(

                No but I don’t expect you to make hydrogen or ammonia in your apartment beyond perhaps some hydrogen chemistry experiments for fun. Ammonia is probably a bit much to do at home.
