The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) has launched the hydrogen Earthshot target, aiming to reduce the price of clean hydrogen to $1000 per tonne by 2030. This initiative seeks to overcome barriers in the hydrogen value chain, making hydrogen more competitive across various sectors. Biomass residues, including waste, forest, and agricultural biomass, are expected to play a crucial role in meeting the growing hydrogen demand. By converting agricultural biomass to hydrogen with high efficiency, the U.S. could potentially produce over 40 million tonnes annually by 2040, aligning with the projected demand by 2050. Solar hydrogen from biomass gasification systems presents an innovative approach to achieve net-zero or carbon-negative hydrogen production, utilizing concentrated solar power to drive the gasification process. These advancements in sustainable production technologies offer promising opportunities for the U.S. to expand its clean energy portfolio and accelerate the transition to a net-zero economy.
