Hydrogen Combustion in Power Plants: Costs, Risks, and Drawbacks
Green hydrogen and green ammonia are touted as potential replacements for fossil fuels, but their actual environmental benefits are questionable. This fact sheet looks at the risks of hydrogen combustion.
The Problem with Green Ammonia
Green hydrogen and green ammonia are touted as potential replacements for fossil fuels, but their actual environmental benefits are questionable. This fact sheet investigates the pros and cons of green ammonia.
Location, Location, Location: An Economic Comparison of Large-Scale Batteries Installed in Front of vs. Behind the Meter in Massachusetts
This report compares the costs and benefits of one utility-scale, front-of-the-meter (FTM) battery system versus five commercial-scale, behind-the-meter (BTM) batteries of the same aggregate cost in Massachusetts. The report, commissioned by Clean Energy Group for the Cape and Vineyard Electric Cooperative (CVEC), provides useful information to help CVEC decide between two possible ownership models for…
Status of the Investment Tax Credit in 2025
In July 2025, Congress acted to accelerate the phase-out of the Investment Tax Credit (ITC), bonus credits and Direct Pay provision. Community-serving solar, wind, and energy storage projects are typically eligible for a 30% baseline credit, available to tax-exempt entites through Direct Pay. This fact sheet provides a timeline for the ITC eligibility of both…
