They are useful tools for incentivizing things that we want more of – like renewable energy. That’s what the proposed clean energy tax credit does. Hydrogen, like electricity, is an energy carrier – it can be used to store and deliver usable energy, for example to a cement or steel factory or to produce fertilizer.

SMR involves using steam to separate the hydrogen from the carbon in methane (CH 4 ). In addition to producing hydrogen, this process results in emissions of carbon dioxide (CO 2 ) and other heat-trapping gases. Given that math, the carbon pollution from producing hydrogen would be twice the amount reduced via burning hydrogen.
