A new report by the Texas Hydrogen Production Policy Council highlights Texas as having a strong existing regulatory framework for hydrogen production. While traditional hydrogen industries are well-regulated, the report suggests ongoing evaluation to accommodate new technologies. It advises policymakers to maintain current frameworks but make targeted improvements, especially in storage, transportation, and permitting processes. The report emphasizes the need for clear regulations, safety standards, and efficient permitting to encourage industry expansion. With Texas being a major energy player, the report forecasts substantial investment potential in hydrogen infrastructure, estimating a $247bn opportunity by 2050. Recommendations include specialized oversight, centralized contacts, and streamlined processes to drive sustainable growth in the hydrogen sector.
