New Analysis Finds Annual Matching Requirement for Hydrogen Production Will Not Raise Emissions and Will Avoid Cost Barriers

Wednesday, April 19, 2023

WASHINGTON, April 19, 2023 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- As the U.S. Treasury Department designs the guidance that will determine which projects qualify for the 45V clean hydrogen Production Tax Credit (PTC) included in the Inflation Reduction Act (IRA), a new analysis from the American Council on Renewable Energy (ACORE) and Energy and Environmental Economics, Inc. (E3) compares the carbon emissions and production costs associated with the two primary accounting approaches: an "hourly match" requirement versus an "annual match" requirement.

Key Points: 
  • The report, Analysis of Hourly & Annual GHG Emissions: Accounting for Hydrogen Production , finds that the annual matching approach leads to lower carbon emissions than hourly matching in 25 out of the 40 scenarios studied.
  • Additionally, in all scenarios – across electricity markets, renewable combinations, and study periods – hydrogen production costs are significantly higher under an hourly matching requirement compared to an annual matching requirement with similar net CO₂ emissions.
  • A market breakdown shows:
    In PJM, hydrogen produced under the hourly matching requirement could cost up to 61% more than hydrogen produced under the annual matching requirement.
  • The report draws the following key conclusions:
    An hourly matching requirement does not ensure lower greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions relative to an annual matching requirement, and in many cases is less effective at eliminating carbon emissions than annual matching.
