Description (excerpt):
Electric utilities and independent power producers (IPPs) in at least 18 U.S. states have proposed “hydrogen-ready” power plants, aiming to co-fire natural gas and hydrogen to gradually reduce these facilities’ carbon intensity. The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) also issued rules in April 2024 addressing climate pollution from existing coal- and new natural gas-fired power plants, with hydrogen co-firing being one potential compliance tool.
This fact sheet is part of an Energy Innovation paper assessing clean hydrogen’s value for cutting climate pollution from 12 end uses.
