Understanding the 45V Clean Hydrogen Production Tax Credit: Requirements, Exceptions, and Project Impacts

The U.S. Treasury Department released final guidance on the 45V Clean Hydrogen Production Tax Credit in January 2025. While the guidance did contain the vital “three pillars” of incrementality, temporal matching, and deliverability, which are essential for ensuring hydrogen production does not lead to a massive increase in grid emissions, it also contains several concessions…

Fact Sheet: Green Hydrogen’s Impact on Water Supplies

Clean hydrogen has received a lot of interest for its potential use as a tool for decarbonization but has also prompted a lot of concerns. Hydrogen production and use can have serious consequences on water supplies, particularly in areas already facing water scarcity. The production of green hydrogen, as well as certain end uses, can…

Fact Sheet: Blue Hydrogen’s Impact on Water Supplies

Clean hydrogen has received a lot of interest for its potential use as a tool for decarbonization but has also prompted a lot of concerns. Hydrogen production and use can have serious consequences on water supplies, particularly in areas already facing water scarcity. The production of blue hydrogen, as well as certain end uses, can…

Blue and Green Hydrogen Production: Potential Harms & Global Warming Impacts

The hype around using green or blue hydrogen as a decarbonization tool overlooks the fact that all hydrogen use can significantly increase global warming. How hydrogen is produced can have significant climate impacts.

Hydrogen’s Global Warming Impacts

The hype around clean hydrogen as a decarbonization tool overlooks the fact that all hydrogen significantly increases global warming if it leaks into the atmosphere, and its use with natural gas does not substantively reduce greenhouse gas emissions.
