Green hydrogen, the most promising alternative for carbon-free fuel or use in an electric fuel cell, is also the most expensive and difficult to produce. Recent legislation passed by the US Congress and signed into law, has offered tax incentives to industry in order to make it a reality. AES Corp a power generator and Air Products and Chemicals Inc, a hydrogen producer have recently announced a joint venture to produce green hydrogen on the site of a recently shuttered coal-fired power plant - in North Texas. How ironic.
