The head of INOX Air Products (INOXAP) has told H2 View green hydrogen subsidies would be most effective if they were offered to consumers.“Nobody is thinking about the consumer,” Siddharth Jain, Managing Director of INOXAP, said. “If you find a buyer for any green product, you will find supply. The tough part is finding somebody willing to pay additional money compared to grey hydrogen.”It...
Hydrogen Subsidies
Financing the new hydrogen economy is already a challenge. Financing hydrogen production in Emerging Markets and Developing Countries (EMDC) is an even bigger one, yet vitally important for supplying richer nations with hydrogen while creating new industries in the EMDC. This month, the World Bank Energy Sector Management Assistance Program (ESMAP) together with the Government of the Netherlands and...

ADVERTISEMENTAirbus, BMW and Michelin are among 11 companies set to receive millions in public subsidy to develop low-carbon hydrogen technology after EU competition officials approved a whopping...
With hydrogen poised to become a major energy source in the Biden administration’s efforts to phase out fossil fuels, the U.S. Treasury Department on Friday proposed rules for billions of dollars in tax credits to aid the transition. Designed to increase domestic renewable energy production, the tax credits are intended to spur more sustainably produced hydrogen for use in manufacturing, transportation...
The Biden administration raised the stakes on its politically fraught bet on massive subsidies for nascent clean-energy technologies Friday, rolling out a plan for awarding billions of dollars in tax credits to the makers of ultrapowerful “green” hydrogen fuel.The fuel is made by splitting water molecules and may eventually power shipping vessels and factories. Under the proposal, which will be...
But existing policies in the U.S. focus not on the end uses of clean hydrogen, but rather on making the fuel cheaper. This is a problem because these policies don’t account for all the other costs associated with using hydrogen, he said. “You’ve got to move it to somewhere useful. You’ve probably got to store it, buffer it, compress it,” he said. “All of these things are expensive, and...
In a closely watched climate decision that could shape the emerging hydrogen energy industry, the Biden administration today proposed a rule for production tax credits that would require new sources of clean energy to produce hydrogen.If it stands, the new rule would be a major victory for renewable energy advocates and companies betting on green hydrogen while preventing additional subsidies for the...
Some firms complain while others prepare to invest billions So while a few corporations have taken it upon themselves to speak on behalf of “the hydrogen industry” as they attack strong hydrogen rules, they have no such right. The industry is no monolith, and plenty of businesses stand ready to invest to scale up a real clean hydrogen sector. In fact, some of the loudest industry voices also...
