The Green Hydrogen Catapult (GHC), a coalition of major players in the green hydrogen sector, has published a letter supporting the climate-aligned implementation of the 45V clean hydrogen production tax credit (PTC). The letter, addressed to key figures in the US government, highlights the crucial role the US plays in shaping international clean hydrogen standards. The GHC suggests that harmonizing US definitions with the European Commission is a strategic move that would stimulate growth in the global green hydrogen market and facilitate deep decarbonization efforts both in the United States and internationally. It also suggests immediate requirements for green hydrogen production to be associated with new power production, aligning with the EU’s Clean Hydrogen Standard, and monthly matching between renewable power production and grid-connected hydrogen production until 2030. The letter emphasizes the need for flexibility in the short term to enable early project scale-up and cost decline.
