ATA Insights Webinars for RENMAD H2 US

[ May 23rd at 8h PT / 11h ET | 1h]

The United States has implemented aggressive policies to become a world leader in clean hydrogen production and decarbonize its economy. Hydrogen made from biomethane could contribute to these goals.

The US is rich in waste resources needed for biomethane production, with an estimated annual potential of 3.2 billion diesel gallon equivalents of biomethane. This can be converted into low-carbon H2, also known as biohydrogen, through steam methane reforming (SMR), a mature and cost-effective process.

Crucially, proponents of biohydrogen claim that it could even be carbon negative.

However, critics are not convinced by these claims, arguing that they stem from deceptive carbon accounting. This is relevant because the U.S. Treasury Department is now deciding which types of hydrogen, including H2 from biomethane, are eligible for tax credits under 45V.

Join this RENMAD by ATA Insights webinar to understand the ins and outs of this argument and find out whether biohydrogen is well placed to contribute to America’s decarbonization goals.

This session offers numerous advantages:

  • Get to grips with the math behind biomethane and biohydrogen emissions, and whether biohydrogen can ever be carbon negative
  • Learn more about the status of the 45V tax-credit program, and whether biohydrogen is likely to be granted a tax credit under this law
  • Learn more about the costs of producing H2 from biomethane, and how it compares to those of other low carbon hydrogen production methods
  • Understand how much biohydrogen can be produced in the US given feedstock availability for biomethane production and alternative uses

Places are limited, so make sure to reserve your spot here today:
