The podcast discusses the ongoing debate in the US regarding the standards for clean hydrogen production. This debate is centered around the tax credits for green hydrogen and how the rules for determining clean hydrogen will impact the industry. Environmental groups are advocating for stricter regulation, while the hydrogen industry is divided on the issue. The US is expected to align its rules with those set by the European Union, as Europe's standards are likely to influence other regions considering exporting hydrogen to Europe. Clean hydrogen is seen as essential for achieving net-zero emissions and has various applications in sectors such as chemicals, transportation, and steel production. The economic feasibility of green hydrogen is improving, with cost reductions expected due to scaling up electrolyzer production. However, the availability of renewable energy to power electrolyzers remains a challenge for the green hydrogen industry.
