Green hydrogen may decarbonize sectors which are difficult to electrify, and the recent Inflation Reduction Act (IRA …) provides tax credits to encourage hydrogen production. We analyze a model in which hydrogen produced using electricity replaces … absence of Pigouvian taxation, optimal hydrogen subsidies are positive if the unpriced externality from avoided natural gas is …
