Driving Green Hydrogen Adoption: The Role of Policy Frameworks in Ensuring Sector Growth
Key Ideas
  • Dr. Jackson Ewing highlights the 'Catch-22' situation in the hydrogen sector where lack of demand impedes investment in supply, stressing the need for a comprehensive approach.
  • Promising demand drivers for green hydrogen like ammonia, long-haul trucking, and industrial processes are identified as key areas for adoption over traditional fossil fuels.
  • Dr. Ewing advocates for policy interventions including production tax credits, permitting reform, and carbon pricing mechanisms to accelerate green hydrogen adoption.
  • He emphasizes the importance of bipartisan support, collaboration, and a robust policy framework to ensure long-term investment and growth in the green hydrogen sector.
NewHydrogen, Inc., a developer of ThermoLoop™ technology for green hydrogen production, announced a podcast featuring CEO Steve Hill and Dr. Jackson Ewing, Director of Energy and Climate Policy at Duke University. Dr. Ewing emphasized the 'Catch-22' dynamic in the hydrogen sector, stressing the need for incentives, infrastructure development, and market mechanisms to address the lack of demand hindering investment in supply. He highlighted areas like ammonia, long-haul trucking, and industrial processes as promising demand drivers for green hydrogen. Dr. Ewing advocates for policy interventions such as production tax credits, permitting reform, and carbon pricing to accelerate adoption. He underscores the importance of bipartisan support and a robust policy framework for long-term investment and growth. Dr. Ewing's work focuses on facilitating energy transitions globally and in the U.S., with projects on climate finance, energy transitions, international carbon pricing, and US-China climate relations. His extensive experience and advocacy underscore the potential for the hydrogen sector to thrive with the right policy support.
