One issue is the reduction in smokestack carbon pollution that hydrogen cofiring can actually offer. 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. So far, so good.

The destruction we see today is a direct result of decades of dependence on fossil fuels, enabled by decades of deception and obstruction on the part of the fossil fuel industry, and prolonged by decades of inaction on the part of policymakers who have been in their thrall.

A substantial portion of the guidance and supporting materials is dedicated to electrolytic production of hydrogen; i.e., using electricity to split water into hydrogen and oxygen. In particular, emissions loopholes related to biomethane and fugitive methane (i.e., These are the key issues to watch in the time ahead.

The ongoing pollution from these power plants is an affront to public health and wildly incompatible with every climate ambition this country —and this world—has. Which means the consequences of these polluters unabashedly continuing to pollute aren’t just severe—they’re compounding. EPA decision, but it did not ground EPA.

The new law creates a permitting process for polluting companies to capture carbon dioxide emissions and store them in underground chambers. The move represents a lifeline for fossil fuel use in a decarbonizing energy grid. Wisconsin faces difficulty enforcing pollution control from small farms. Looking Ahead.

Pollution control is expensive and air pollution regulations are not strict enough. The world is trying to get away from burning fossil fuels for energy because it’s a major source of air pollution and greenhouse gas emissions. So, what is the solution?
