Journey to the Center of Hydrogen
Simplifying Complexity with Relae’s LCCA Tool
Relae’s Levelized Cost of Carbon Abatement (LCCA) tool helps organizations maximize emissions reductions per dollar spent by identifying cost-effective decarbonization options. This report explores its applications in hydrogen, offering insights to streamline decision-making and optimize decarbonization strategies.

Nicki's passion for climate change and actionability has led her to focus her career on this and how she and others can make an immediate direct impact. She received her PhD at the University of Michigan with a focus on hydrogen storage and direct air capture. From there she spent nine years in industrial gas research and development commercializing many technologies from initial concept to full deployment. Her past years have been spent as a technology expert focusing on hydrogen storage/transportation and decarbonized production methods including carbon capture and storage, electrolysis and pyrolysis. At Relae Inc. she helps our clients identify decarbonization options using hydrogen or carbon capture and future technologies for them to integrate hydrogen cost effectively into their carbon management plans.
