Hydrogen, seen as a promising secondary renewable energy carrier, can becompressed or liquefied as well as chemically bound to enable a more economic storage and transportation. All conditioned hydrogen options obtain specific advantages and disadvantages. Thus, this paper assess the energy efficiency and the cost of a green hydrogen supply from well to tank exemplified for fuel cell heavy-duty vehicles in Germany related to the years 2030 and 2050. Therefore, compressed gaseous hydrogen, liquid hydrogen, liquid organic hydrogen carriers, methanol and ammonia are considered and different hydrogen production regions in North and Central Germany, as well as an import from Tunisia and Argentina (Patagonia) are assumed. The assessment shows that a hydrogen supply chain in its state of aggregation as finally demanded is the lowest cost option leading to 700 bar compressed gaseous hydrogen filling costs of 5 € 2020 /kg H2 in 2030 and 4 € 2020 /kg H2 in 2050 and liquid hydrogen filling costs around 7 € 2020 /kg H2 in 2030 and 6 € 2020 /kg H2 in 2050. • Well to tank analysis for a hydrogen supply of filling stations. • Gaseous hydrogen supply chains are the lowest cost options for gaseous filling. • Liquid hydrogen supply chains show the lowest supply costs for liquid filling. • LOHC obtain high supply costs, especially for long transportation distances.
