Colorado’s Hydrogen Act

Colorado Legislature passed HB23-1281 (2023 | CO), The Advance The Use Of Clean Hydrogen Act. that intends to protect against increases in climate-harming pollution from hydrogen production, and targets the usage of hydrogen at hard-to-decarbonize sectors where electrification may not be feasible. This is hand and hand with the state’s bid for federal Hydrogen Funds as part of Western Interstate Hydrogen Hub (WISHH)  Opposition includes the industry group, Fuel Cell and Hydrogen Association, that says “the bill’s narrow definitions and strict standards will limit the production of hydrogen in Colorado.”
