GTI - Assessing the life cycle carbon intensity of hydrogen production - November 15, 2022
TUESDAY, NOVEMBER 15 AT 10:00AM CENTRAL. Join moderator Kristine Wiley with GTI Energy expert Derek Wissmiller, PhD. Hydrogen has the potential to play a significant role in decarbonizing our energy systems. The carbon intensity of hydrogen production can vary considerably due to variations in performance and/or emissions associated with processes upstream of the hydrogen production facility.
GTI Energy has developed the Hydrogen Production Emissions Calculator (HyPEC), a user-friendly, online life cycle assessment (LCA) tool that empowers users to evaluate the carbon emissions intensity of various hydrogen production methods under varying assumptions and inputs. HyPEC provides quick access to credible LCA results by leveraging the GREET model, a widely recognized and established tool developed by the U.S. Department of Energy’s (DOE) Argonne National Laboratory. With this, HyPEC provides insights relative to the Inflation Reduction Act (IRA), as the GREET model is referenced in the IRA hydrogen production tax credit.
Join us to learn how this publicly available and easy-to-use tool will facilitate productive, pragmatic conversations regarding the role of hydrogen in energy transitions.
