DOE backs blue H2 flexibility for uncertain tax credit The US DOE has revised its hydrogen lifecycle emissions model, enabling blue hydrogen producers to use supply chain-specific methane data, a key shift that could improve their access to federal tax credits that are currently under threat. The DOE’s Hydrogen and Fuel Cell Office said changes to the modelling will allow a “more flexible method” for calculating methane loss, “allowing a wider range of deserving companies to access resources supporting hydrogen production.” The update will allow users to input company-specific methane loss data. New market intelligence has warned that North America’s global market share in low-carbon hydrogen could drop almost 20% by 2030 due to shifts under the Trump administration.
