2. Adding Value: Economics of LH2 Export Would take entire WA State production capacity to fill once per week. WA has 6th largest production capacity in US. • 160,000 m3 of LH2 • $57-170 MILLION/load
• 2.2 million car charges @ 5kg/charge • 63 GIGAWATT energy transfer (370 million kW-hrs) • $0.45/kw-hr compared to $0.012 * • 37.5x increase in energy value as LH2 *https://www.eia.gov/electricity/wholesale/ April 12, 2016 10

2. Adding Value: The case for liquid • 80-90% of non-pipeline H2 delivered via liquid tanker truck.1 • LH2 will propel the early H2 economy.2 • Only 8 LH2 plants in North America -2 are carbon free (Niagara, Mississippi) -Smallest is ~6 tonne/day -Can only ramp 30%/day
• Production cost: $5-5.60/kgLH2
• Delivery cost: $4-12/kgLH2
