TERMS TO KNOW HYDROGEN

The document defines key terms in the hydrogen economy, including production methods like electrolysis and steam reforming, storage forms such as compressed and liquid hydrogen, and the criteria for 'clean hydrogen' and 'zero-emission motor vehicles'.

• Clean hydrogen is defined by a specific carbon intensity threshold of 2 kilograms of carbon dioxide-equivalent produced at the production site per kilogram of hydrogen produced.
• Renewable hydrogen production is achieved either by using electricity from renewable sources to create hydrogen gas from water or by using renewable natural gas.
• Zero-emission motor vehicles are defined as those propelled by an electric motor drawing from a battery with at least four kilowatt hours capacity and external recharging capability, or by power from cells converting chemical energy to electricity via hydrogen fuel stored on board.
