WACC is a financial metric used to determine a company''s capital cost. The effect of WACC on LCOH is that it can impact the financing costs associated with developing and operating a hydrogen production facility. It can be deduced from Fig. 11 that a higher WACC would result in higher financing costs, which would increase the LCOH for the facility. On the
