Proposed Electrolyzer Requirements for the Hydrogen Tax Credit: Strengths and Risks

Union of Concerned Scientists

Today, hydrogen is overwhelmingly produced through a heavily polluting fossil fuel-based process. However, to enable scaling up of the systems required for such hourly matching, producers can rely on annual matching until 2028, at which time all producers—new and existing—must convert to hourly matching.

Right on Energy: Section 45V Hydrogen Production Tax Credit  

Cresforum

Clean hydrogen production relies either on electricity, which may be generated through renewable or fossil fuel resources; or directly on fossil fuels, via steam methane reformation (SMR) or coal gasification accompanied by carbon capture, or via methane pyrolysis. According to one estimate , the U.S.

Germany’s early nuclear shutdown came with a heavy carbon price?

A Greener Life

Germany has six remaining nuclear reactors which are due to be closed down next year which will remove a huge source of zero-carbon electricity from the German economy unable to be taken up by other clean energy sources such as solar and wind. Around 75% comes from fossil fuels: burning coal, natural gas and oil.
