Dedicated clean hydrogen production likely has a limited role in power sector decarbonization, finds CATF report
Clean Air Task Force analyzed the plausibility of clean hydrogen use in the power sector and found that dedicated clean hydrogen production and use, in many cases, is a costly and inefficient decarbonization strategy. Meanwhile, using electrolytic hydrogen as a storage fuel to balance excess surplus clean electricity could have…

Decarbonizing Aviation: Enabling Technologies for a Net-Zero Future
Executive Summary Combustion of jet fuel is one of the most important mechanisms by which aviation contributes to climate change, accounting for an estimated 2%–3% of global carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions before considering additional warming effects from contrails. Those emissions could triple by 2050, potentially accounting for 25% of CO2…
