The Latitude: Could government rules hinder green hydrogen‪?‬ The Carbon Copy

    • Kommentare

The US green hydrogen industry is at a critical juncture. 
After months of input and debate, the government put out draft rules for tax credits at the end of last year – setting strict requirements for matching new, local renewables to hydrogen production.
It was hailed by many as a really important step for ensuring that green hydrogen actually lives up to its name. But across the industry, the reaction has been mixed – even among those who want to make the industry as clean as possible. 
Maeve Allsup, one of our reporters at Latitude Media, started asking around the industry: how are these rules impacting projects?
This week, we have a crossover episode with The Latitude, a podcast that brings you stories from our journalists and columnists reporting at the commercial edge of energy tech, markets, and deals. Editor Lisa Martine Jenkins presents two features from the pages of Latitude Media on how the US green hydrogen industry is responding to new rules and canceling some projects.
