In Case You Missed It – A Controversial Idea For Coal
- As the “Build Back Better” plan looks less likely in the US we would expect compromises that provide greater opportunities for “clean” US fossil fuel.
- While the need for more LNG is glaringly apparent, we provide a compelling case for using abundant, low-cost US coal to produce cheap blue hydrogen.
- Hydrogen is likely to be supply-constrained, and clean blue hydrogen from coal is possible relatively quickly and does not rely on unproven new technology.
- The investor and litigation backlash from throwing support towards coal would likely be significant, and any lifeline would need stringent emission regulation.
