Abstract

The authors regret that our recent paper (Röben et al., 2021) contains an error in our calculations presented in section 4.3, where we analyze varying water electrolyzer efficiencies.The water electrolyzer efficiency was not correctly updated in our code when converting the investment costs from EUR/kW el to EUR/kW H2 .In the results, the investment costs are always converted based on the reference efficiency (60%).The error affected the results shown in Figs.12-14 of the original manuscript but does not concern model equations and parameters stated but was limited to the implementation.The updated results are shown in the updated Figs.12-14 below.
