米国45V税額控除の適格性評価に用いられる45VH2-GREETモデルを拡張し、ブルー水素のライフサイクルGHG排出量の不確実性を4つの水素ハブ地域で分析。電力グリッド構成が排出量に最も影響し、メタン漏洩や水素漏洩が適格性を左右することを示した。地域差が税制優遇の不均等な適用につながる可能性を指摘。

English

This study extends the 45VH2-GREET model to assess uncertainty in lifecycle GHG emissions of blue hydrogen across four U.S. Hydrogen Hub regions. It finds electricity grid mix has the largest impact on emissions, fugitive methane is critical for tax credit eligibility, and hydrogen leakage could add ~10% emissions. Regional differences may lead to uneven eligibility, emphasizing the need for transparent, region-specific data.

日本のGX文脈において

日本では水素基本戦略が改定され、クリーン水素の認定基準や支援制度が整備されつつある。本論文のライフサイクル排出の不確実性分析は、日本の水素供給チェーンにおける排出算定の透明性向上や、地域特性を考慮した制度設計に示唆を与える。

In the global GX context

This paper provides a rigorous, engineering-based analysis of lifecycle emissions uncertainty for blue hydrogen, directly relevant to global clean hydrogen certification schemes and tax credit implementation. It underscores the importance of transparent, region-specific data in policy design, offering lessons for the EU's delegated acts on renewable hydrogen and other jurisdictions developing hydrogen support mechanisms.

📄 Abstract（原文）

Hydrogen is viewed as a potential low-carbon energy carrier, but its climate benefits depend on the production methods. In the United States, the Inflation Reduction Act’s 45V production tax credit provides incentives for hydrogen with low lifecycle greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. Eligibility for the credit requires transparent emissions accounting across the supply chain. The 45VH2-GREET model has been proposed as the basis for these calculations, but several key parameters, such as upstream methane emissions, electricity carbon intensity, hydrogen leakage, and carbon capture performance, are uncertain and vary regionally. In this study, we develop an engineering-based extension of 45VH2-GREET to evaluate how variation in these parameters affects the lifecycle GHG intensity of blue hydrogen (produced from natural gas with carbon capture) across four U.S. Hydrogen Hub regions: Indiana, West Virginia, North Dakota, and eastern Texas. We find that: (1) electricity grid mix has the largest influence on total emissions, with GHG reductions of ~5-15%, depending on the grid composition; (2) fugitive methane emissions are a critical determinant of 45V tax credit eligibility, and could shift total emissions by -2% to 46%, depending on supply chain characteristics; and (3) hydrogen leakage, which is not currently included in 45V accounting, could increase total GHG emissions by ~10% if not managed. These results suggest that regional differences in upstream gas supply and electricity systems could lead to uneven eligibility outcomes and highlight the importance of transparent, region-specific data in tax credit implementation.
