Summary
The document outlines a briefing on green hydrogen, identifying it as a critical tool for decarbonizing sectors like steel production. It highlights that green hydrogen currently accounts for less than one percent of U.S. production and faces significant cost disadvantages compared to fossil fuel-based alternatives.
Key insights
- Green hydrogen is considered essential for decarbonizing sectors that are difficult to abate, such as steel production, and serves as a low- or no-emissions substitute for the carbon-intensive hydrogen industry.
- Green hydrogen production in the United States is currently minimal, representing less than one percent of total production, and is significantly more expensive than hydrogen derived from fossil fuels.
