Summary
This document is an invitation and overview for a briefing hosted by the Environmental and Energy Study Institute (EESI) regarding the role of green hydrogen in decarbonizing hard-to-abate sectors and the challenges associated with its current production costs and market share in the United States.
Key insights
- Green hydrogen, which is produced using renewable energy, is viewed as a necessary tool for decarbonizing sectors that are difficult to abate, such as steel production, and as a low- or no-emissions substitute for the current carbon-intensive hydrogen industry.
- Green hydrogen faces significant economic and scale challenges in the United States, where it accounts for less than one percent of total hydrogen production and costs more than hydrogen derived from fossil fuels.
