Hydrogen Subsidies
The European Commission hopes to further boost EU clean energy technology by approving whopping state subsidies for a range of projects aimed at using hydrogen to replace fossil fuels in tranport. 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...

Methane Pyrolysis in a Liquid Metal Bubble Column Reactor Source: Hydrogen Insight: To cover the cost gap with fossil fuels, Japan will offer CfD-style subsidies for domestic and imported green hydrogen starting in 2024. Projects supplying H2 from 2030 would see 15 years of payments The Japanese government is planning to launch a subsidy scheme to cover the cost gap between...
State legislators are pleased to see the Administration’s new 45V clean hydrogen tax credit guidance. In June, more than 130 state legislators from 36 states and territories submitted a letter urging the Treasury Department, the Department of Energy, and the White House to require all eligible projects to comply with three criteria for clean electrolytic hydrogen:...
