The Biden administration is contemplating potential changes to its power plant pollution rules, with a focus on the use of hydrogen alongside natural gas in new natural gas plants. The administration may opt for a slower phase-in of certain aspects of the rules, which are expected to be finalized soon.
The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is considering eliminating the proposal for new natural gas plants to use hydrogen, shifting the focus to carbon capture and storage for reducing climate pollution. While hydrogen is viewed as a future clean fuel, its widespread adoption in power plants remains limited.
