Hydrogen, Green Metrics (Chapter 2)
SEP’s Green Metrics Report examines three key hydrogen issues: (1) its role as an indirect greenhouse gas, (2) the decarbonization potential for hard-to-abate sectors, and (3) production, transport and use environmental footprint. SEP explores various sensitivities to anthropogenic and natural hydrogen emissions and atmospheric concentration such as hydrogen market demand, production leak rates, natural hydrogen sinks, and estimates of hydrogen’s global warming potential. SEP also analyzes water electrolysis and steam methane reforming using the GREET model to estimate CO2e intensity and conducts a literature review on the benefits of hydrogen for transportation and industrial applications. Additionally, SEP provides context on the development of a hydrogen economy relative to decarbonizing certain industries as well as water and land use, NOx emissions, policy, low-carbon power, and carbon capture.
