A study conducted by Wood Mackenzie and commissioned by ACP shows the Administration鈥檚 guidelines requiring hourly matching starting in 2028 will limit the ability of the green hydrogen industry to get off the ground.

Green hydrogen, produced using renewable electricity, is critical to decarbonizing the U.S. economy. The Department of Energy estimates low-carbon hydrogen can eliminate 10 percent of economy-wide emissions by 2050. While Treasury鈥檚 45V tax credits are intended to catalyze the still-nascent low-carbon hydrogen industry in the U.S., this study finds the Administration鈥檚 proposed guidelines will stifle green hydrogen deployment by making it too expensive.

Wood Mackenzie鈥檚 analysis finds that ACP鈥檚 framework – reflected in our comments to Treasury –听 leads to significantly more green hydrogen deployment by 2032 and puts the industry closer to the pathway required to achieve a net-zero emissions economy. Wood Mackenzie also concluded that the annual matching regime for first movers in ACP鈥檚 proposal would not lead to additional emissions. In fact, the Treasury proposal is expected to result in higher hydrogen emissions impacts due to the greater adoption of blue hydrogen that results from the lack of green hydrogen deployment.
