Rice University's baker institute for Public policy indicates that clean energy could be the state's future the same energy and geology that has
made texas a powerhouse and oil and natural gas could prove to place the state in a leadership position as a hydrogen fuel market says
a new report from Rice University's baker Institute for Public policy. This could help the state with a more natural decarbonization transition and enhance its
economy. A conversion of texas existing infrastructure and industrial hydrogen fuel usage to low carbon production technologies would likely be the fastest
road to establishing wider use of H two indicated the report texas is in a very advantageous position to play a leading role in driving
hydrogen market growth. But the evolution of policy and market structure will dictate whether or not this comes to pass
wrote baker Institute Center for Energy Studies, senior director ken Medlock and the center's research manager
See you Elise Hung. The co authors of the report diversity is among the greatest strengths H two has to offer
pointed out Medlock and Hung. It can be produced in a number of different ways
including steam, methane reforming, electrolysis and pyre Alexis so it can leverage a variety of comparative advantages across regions
Read the report. H two is also being used in fuel cells for electricity generation and can be used for power and heat
says the U. S. Department of Energy's description of the fuel, the existing infrastructure in texas would make it easier to bypass many hydrogen fuel
transition hurdles texas has an advantage of its existing geology and infrastructure that would allow it to minimize any transition
challenges, thereby keeping H two more affordable. The state already has substantial natural gas production
transportation storage and end use infrastructure and networks. In addition to its existing strong industrial sector
including the production of chemicals, petroleum products and plastics could prove beneficial in decarbonization and achieving climate goals
This, combined with the state's position as the largest pork capacity in the country
all come together for substantial advantages in logistics and supply chain management
Texas is also the producer of a about two thirds of the hydrogen fuel in the country and is home to about the same amount
of U. S. H. To transport infrastructure. Combined with the coastal geology of the state
which is well suited to both H two and carbon storage. Setting the state up as a leader in hydrogen fuel seems a nearly natural
fit. Jake martin here, come join our community, leave us a comment and grab the newest e book
