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.

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,...
