And how would that approach compare to using renewable energy? That means that, for a plant to generate the same amount of electricity, it needs to burn more of a gas-hydrogen blend. Electrolysis involves using electricity to separate water into hydrogen and oxygen. Water itself (H 2 O) is carbon-free. So far, so good.

Had the court ruled fully in favor of the EPA— or not taken the case at all —a much more meaningful dent in power plant carbon emissions would be within reach, while also delivering much greater reductions in other dangerous co-pollutants from burning fossil fuels such as particulate matter, mercury, nitrogen oxides and sulfur dioxide.
