On February 22, 2023, RMI facilitated a dialogue between stakeholders in the hydrogen space to discuss the implications of potential implementation pathways for the clean hydrogen production tax credit (45V).

Over 40 organizations were included in the conversation which took place after the conclusion of the Open Hydrogen Initiative (OHI) and Stanford Hydrogen Initiative Future of Hydrogen Markets Workshop held on Stanford’s campus.

The focus of the conversation was the emissions accounting rules for grid-connected electrolyzers and how decisions made by the US Department of the Treasury would impact hydrogen production, emissions, and industry investment decisions.

Concepts of “new power”, “deliverability”, and “temporal matching” as key pillars for 45V implementation were introduced and then discussed in small groups to capture opinions, concerns, and questions. Chatham House rules were followed and no information in the summary report is attributed to any single organization.
