Improving Green Hydrogen Production in the U.S. by 2050

Abstract

This paper explores how the United States can improve its green hydrogen production by 2050 to help fight climate change and meet global temperature goals. Green hydrogen is a clean energy source and is made using renewable energy. By prioritizing green hydrogen over traditional fossil fuels, it can help reduce pollution, especially in tough areas where fossil fuels is heavily used like in the industry and long-distance transportation sectors. Currently, the U.S. is facing challenges like high costs and insufficient infrastructure to support large-scale green hydrogen production. In comparison to the U.S., other countries like Germany and Japan have been able to successfully implement better solutions to combat the 1.5°C Scenario. Our research paper displays how the U.S. is lacking in fundamental ways to overcome environmental challenges like carbon dioxide emissions, rising sea levels, and climate change. We can tackle these challenges through using more renewable energy sources, improving upon green technology, and creating supportive policies for environmental impact. These recommendations aim to help the U.S. increase its green hydrogen production and contribute to a cleaner energy future.
