The Biden administration has announced a goal to produce 50 million metric tons of clean hydrogen fuel by 2050 – an ambitious roadmap that, if successful, would cut around 10% of the country’s planet-warming pollution by the same date.
For the US to transition to clean energy, it will take technologies beyond wind and solar to fuel airplanes, generate electricity and power industry. And the Biden administration is increasingly looking towards hydrogen to meet the demand – a source of energy that burns without pollution and that can be derived from water. But it also could be generated by the fossil fuels it seeks to replace.
Airplanes, for instance, require so much energy that any battery used to store electricity from solar or wind would likely be too large and heavy. Hydrogen, on the other hand, can come in liquid form and is far lighter. Hydrogen also has the potential to help decarbonize heavy industry, which can be tough to power with wind and solar.
