IRENA sees renewable hydrogen at least cost-possible within decade

Green Car Congress

DECEMBER 18, 2020

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.

Here in New York City, where we have a population density that supports a mass transit system, most of our fossil fuel use is to power our buildings. In any case, when we switch from fossil fuels to renewable energy, we reduce but do not eliminate environmental damage. The current technologies work but have limits.

MAY 11, 2022

CARB says that the most significant aspect of the draft plan is the aggressive pace and scale it calls for to reduce reliance on fossil fuels wherever they are currently used in California. It achieves this goal by building on and accelerating regulations, incentives, and carbon pricing that have been in place for a decade and a half.

Production of CTL has a large carbon footprint, releasing more than twice the lifecycle greenhouse gases of conventional petroleum fuels. However, with the rise in energy prices that began in 2008 and concerns over energy security, there is renewed interest in the conversion technology, the report notes.

In one way, the program in question—the Renewable Fuel Standard (RFS)—is a relic from a bygone era. The RFS, in essence, mandated that the blend powering engines in the nation’s official service vehicles run on a certain amount of renewable fuel. Now, it is 2022. The proposed changes aren’t set in stone.
