Fossil fuels, primarily gas, are a fixture in millions of American homes and businesses, but the building sector’s climate impact hasn’t received the same scrutiny as coal and gas in the power sector or oil in the transportation sector. Fortunately, that’s changing. One in four U.S.

At the same time, Brussels signaled that it will also encourage the development of "blue" hydrogen produced from fossil fuels paired with carbon capture, at least for the time being. Europe's gas sector strikes upbeat tone.

But by using the carbon to produce more fossil fuels, critics argue that this can’t reasonably be considered CCS. However, producing hydrogen from methane has a substantial advantage over capturing the carbon emitted from coal combustion. That’s another substantial advantage of attempting CCS with natural gas instead of coal.

Hydrogen gas is reactive, and thus there do not exist deposits of hydrogen that can be exploited. The vast majority of the world’s commercial hydrogen — over 95% by most estimates — is produced using the steam methane reforming process (SMR). Grey hydrogen denotes hydrogen produced from fossil fuels, such as via the SMR process.

Today, Hydrogen is mainly produced from fossil fuels (Thermochemical) or through the electrolysis of water (Electrochemical). Mature Thermochemical technologies include steam methane reforming (SMR) which relies on natural gas as an input and coal gasification which relies on coal. How Hydrogen is produced.

While the fuel is barely on the radar in the United States, around the world a green hydrogen rush is underway, and many companies, investors, governments and environmentalists believe it is an energy source that could help end the reign of fossil fuels and slow the world’s warming trajectory. “Green hydrogen can do that.”

The falling costs of wind and solar power are pushing utilities to find ways to incorporate them into their long-range plans, even as they struggle to define what resources can be relied on to provide the dispatchable power they need. Its 2020 integrated resource plan (IRP) sets a goal of nearly 16 gigawatts of solar, 5.1

Out in Utah, a coal-fired power plant supplying electricity to Los Angeles is being outfitted with natural-gas-fired turbines that will eventually be able to run on hydrogen, created via electrolysis with wind and solar power and stored in massive underground caverns for use when that clean energy isn’t available for the grid.

Department of Energy has finalized a rule banning fossil fuels from new and renovated federal buildings. The Clean Energy for New Federal Buildings and Major Renovations of Federal Buildings Rule, mandated by the Energy Independence and Security Act (EISA) of 2007, mandates a phased reduction in fossil fuel usage in these buildings.

This is the practice where natural gas is separated into hydrogen and CO2, where the hydrogen is used for the petrochemical industry and CO2 is simply released into the atmosphere. Why focus on creating sustainable marine fuels? We however are not interested in replacing all fuels. No surprise there.

Dominion’s own emissions-reduction plan pledges to eliminate emissions of carbon dioxide and methane on a net basis by 2050. That’s greater than its previous commitment to reduce net carbon emissions from its power sector by 80 percent by 2050 and methane emissions from its natural-gas operations by 65% by 2030 and 80% by 2040.
