Understanding the 45V Clean Hydrogen Production Tax Credit: Requirements, Exceptions, and Project Impacts

March 3, 2025

The U.S. Treasury Department released final guidance on the 45V Clean Hydrogen Production Tax Credit in January 2025. While the guidance did contain the vital “three pillars” of incrementality, temporal matching, and deliverability, which are essential for ensuring hydrogen production does not lead to a massive increase in grid emissions, it also contains several concessions…

Potential Dangers of Blending Hydrogen and Natural Gas in Pipelines 

February 24, 2025

Could blending hydrogen with natural gas help decarbonize the natural gas supply chain?  This 4-page fact sheet outlines the potential dangers of blending hydrogen and natural gas in pipelines. These dangers include hydrogen’s corrosive effects on pipeline materials, its tendency to leak, and its highly explosive nature.  Hydrogen blending is also inefficient and costly: a…

Optimizing Energy Resilience to Support Medically Vulnerable Residents in Multifamily Affordable Housing

February 21, 2025

Power outages can quickly turn into a health crisis for the millions of Americans that rely on electricity for home medical devices, including life-support equipment (such as dialysis machines and ventilators) and technologies for independent living (such as electric wheelchairs, refrigeration for medicine, and internet for telehealth appointments). Many electricity-dependent residents live in multifamily affordable…
