IRENA sees renewable hydrogen at least cost-possible within decade

Green Car Congress

Hydrogen produced with renewable electricity could compete on costs with fossil fuel alternatives by 2030, according to a new report from the International Renewable Energy Agency (IRENA). For that, today’s manufacturing capacity of less than 1 GW would have to massively grow beyond 100 GW in the next 10 to 15 years.

Can Alt-Fuel Credits Accelerate EV Adoption?

Cars That Think

In one way, the program in question—the Renewable Fuel Standard (RFS)—is a relic from a bygone era. lawmakers established the RFS in 2005 and expanded it in 2007, well before solar panels, wind turbines, and electric vehicles became the stalwarts of decarbonization they are today. And although the plan seeks to reduce U.S. says Nunes.
