Two House Democrats, Reps. Jamie Raskin and Don Beyer, have requested the Department of Energy to provide projected life-cycle greenhouse gas emissions for its seven regional hydrogen hubs. They specifically highlighted the necessity of including induced grid emissions resulting from hydrogen production powered by electricity from the grid. The lawmakers addressed Office of Clean Energy Demonstrations acting Director Kelly Cummins, urging for increased transparency in understanding the climate benefits of hydrogen production. The letter emphasized the importance of disclosing comprehensive data on the lifecycle and consequential emissions associated with hydrogen hubs. The initiative aims to promote accountability and awareness regarding the environmental impact of government-backed hydrogen initiatives, emphasizing the significance of transparent climate data.
