Today, hydrogen is overwhelmingly produced through a heavily polluting fossil fuel-based process. Foremost among these is a legal memo from EPA regarding Treasury’s interpretation and implementation of “lifecycle greenhouse-gas emissions” in 45V. It is a climate problem, not a climate solution. Geographic deliverability.

UCS supports Treasury’s proposed temporal-matching requirement, with a phase-in of hourly matching by 2028 with no exemptions for legacy producers. Upstream methane emissions are a potentially substantial share of the overall emissions rate of fossil fuel-based hydrogen production facilities. Hourly matching.

There should be a concerted effort to reach an international agreement for methane reduction, akin to the Kigali Amendment, which phases out another important greenhouse gas – hydrofluorocarbons — with emission reduction dates, enforcement, and funding and technical assistance to help countries meet the targets.

Clean hydrogen production relies either on electricity, which may be generated through renewable or fossil fuel resources; or directly on fossil fuels, via steam methane reformation (SMR) or coal gasification accompanied by carbon capture, or via methane pyrolysis. and global hydrogen production by source.
