Hydrogen Subsidies

Could big U.S. subsidies for Hydrogen create perverse incentives, raise emissions?

There is a danger that the U.S. Inflation Reduction Act (IRA) subsidies for hydrogen production (defined in provision 45V) may create perverse incentives that do not reduce emissions and may increase them. James Sallee at the Energy Institute at Haas explains why. The goal is to make “green” hydrogen powered by newly built clean energy. But what if the generously subsidised hydrogen is made from...

Why IRA hydrogen tax credit is lightning rod for controversy

Hydrogen is already produced at scale for use in making fertilizer and in the petrochemical industry. But more recently, hydrogen is being seen as a way to decarbonize industries like maritime shipping, long-haul trucking, steel-making, industrial heating, and aerospace. Also, its capacity as an effective way of storing energy makes it attractive for renewable energy sources, like wind and solar, which...

Luxembourg seeks to coax companies into green transition

Luxembourg’s government plans to coax companies with more than €400 million in subsidies and other financial incentives to shift away from polluting hydrocarbons to more electricity and even a future supply of hydrogen power, officials said Tuesday.“The achievement of our climate objectives is closely linked to the ecological and energy transition of Luxembourg companies,” Economy Minister Lex...

After Historic Subsidies, Hydrogen Giants Threaten Regulations Could Throttle Industry

The long-dormant hydrogen industry won a game-changer subsidy in last year’s Inflation Reduction Act (IRA). The U.S. is making such a big bet on the fuel that it is willing to pay $3 per kilogram of green hydrogen, which in some places could be worth more than the cost of production, enabling some producers to make hydrogen at zero cost. Analysts describe that hydrogen production tax credit,...

The Value of Green Hydrogen Trade for Europe

The EU will soon be the first global market to demonstrate how importing hydrogen (H2) can help accelerate decarbonization and promote energy security — if it can mobilize additional support for procurement and end use while strategically deploying green fuel to areas where it’s most needed. Introduction The EU set one of the most ambitious hydrogen deployment targets in the world in March...
