Researchers at Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) examined how different interpretations of contracted variable renewable energy (VRE) sources (i.e., sources of energy that rely on changing weather conditions, such as solar and wind energy) and energy system policies can affect the costs and emissions of electrolytic hydrogen production.
Their paper, published in Nature Energy, shows that different assumptions about the VRE used to power grid-connected electrolyzers can significantly influence estimations of resulting carbon emissions.
