Midwest Hydrogen Center Of Excellence Detailed Comments In Response To Irs Proposed Guidance For 45v Tax Credit For Clean Hydrogen Production, Mark Henning
All Maxine Goodman Levin School of Urban Affairs Publications
The Midwest Hydrogen Center of Excellence submitted detailed comments on implementing tax credits for clean hydrogen production under section 45V of the U.S. tax code as established by the Inflation Reduction Act. Clean hydrogen has the potential to play an important role in decarbonizing the U.S. economy by reducing emissions in some of the most difficult-to-decarbonize sectors. The adoption of clean hydrogen will depend on driving down not just the cost of production, but also on lowering the cost to deliver and dispense hydrogen so that the total cost per kilogram reaches an amount that end users are willing to …
Midwest Hydrogen Center Of Excellence Comments To The Proposed Ira Rulemaking For Irs Rule 45v, Andrew R. Thomas
Midwest Hydrogen Center Of Excellence Comments To The Proposed Ira Rulemaking For Irs Rule 45v, Andrew R. Thomas
All Maxine Goodman Levin School of Urban Affairs Publications
The Midwest Hydrogen Center of Excellence submitted comments in support of efforts to draft language defining what forms of clean hydrogen production will be eligible for tax credits under IRS Section 45V. The need to transition our energy economy to clean hydrogen is urgent. If we rely primarily upon electrolysis and other renewable sources for hydrogen, it will take too long to develop. Accordingly, the 45V tax credit rules should be written to encourage clean hydrogen generation from steam methane reformation. Tax credits for generation of clean hydrogen from renewable natural gas, in particular, should phase in Scope 3 emission …
Update Of Techno-Economic Feasibility Analysis Of A Microgrid In Downtown Cleveland, Ohio, Ali H. Ahmed, Andrew R. Thomas, Mark Henning, Shelbie Seeberg
Update Of Techno-Economic Feasibility Analysis Of A Microgrid In Downtown Cleveland, Ohio, Ali H. Ahmed, Andrew R. Thomas, Mark Henning, Shelbie Seeberg
All Maxine Goodman Levin School of Urban Affairs Publications
This report is an update to a techno-economic feasibility study undertaken in 2018 to examine the efficacy of building and operating a microgrid in Downtown Cleveland, Ohio. Many factors have changed since 2018, including the 2022 passage of the Inflation Reduction Act, pursuant to which significant tax credits will make microgrids and grid edge technology adoption more attractive. Such a microgrid could offer enhanced resiliency and uptime to customers at prices that are competitive with existing rates for commercial power within the local investor owned utility’s service area. The return to investors for a Downtown Cleveland microgrid under a competitive …

Strategies For Financing Efficiency In District Energy Systems, Andrew R. Thomas, Jack Kunath, Mark Henning
All Maxine Goodman Levin School of Urban Affairs Publications
Efforts to educate district energy users about energy efficiency have lagged those for electricity users. CSU surveyed district energy users in Cleveland, Ohio to ascertain their knowledge of and interest in energy efficiency programs. Most end users have a general knowledge about the sorts of technologies that are available, however do not understand their value, nor how to go about getting efficiency financed. The survey identified levels of interest that exist for adoption for various energy efficiency strategies as well as the preferred strategies for financing. It also identified where the most education is needed to create interest in adopting …

Developing A Hydrogen Economy In Ohio: Challenges And Opportunities, Mark Henning, Andrew R. Thomas, Peter Psarras, Michael Triozzi
All Maxine Goodman Levin School of Urban Affairs Publications
Ohio is positioned to be a leader in the developing hydrogen economy in the coming years. Ohio is already a national leader in industrial and transportation hydrogen markets, and power generation markets for hydrogen are developing. Ohio projects to need between 2-3 million metric tons of hydrogen per year by 2050. To meet this demand, low cost natural gas from nearby Appalachian shale fields will likely be the principal source of hydrogen generation for the next 30 years. This would be true even if Ohio were to repurpose half of its carbon-free power generation to making hydrogen -- which it …

Update Of Investigation Into Changes In Fuel Economy And Vehicle Range Related To Change In Ambient Temperature For Battery And Fuel Cell Electric Buses, Mark Henning, Andrew R. Thomas, Alison Smyth, David Higgs
All Maxine Goodman Levin School of Urban Affairs Publications
This report is an update to a 2019 evaluation of the effects of changes in ambient temperature on the fuel efficiency and range of zero emission buses (ZEBs). (The 2019 evaluation is available at https://engagedscholarship.csuohio.edu/urban_facpub/1630/). The report relies on data that was made available from transit agencies that have deployed hydrogen fuel cell electric, battery electric, compressed natural gas (CNG), and diesel buses. Additional control variables were included in this update to isolate the fuel efficiency effects associated with temperature variation. This analysis reinforces findings from the 2019 report showing that fuel economy and range for electric drive buses vary …
Procurement Strategies For Reducing Capital Costs Of Zero-Emission Buses, Alison Smyth, Justin Brightharp, Andrew R. Thomas, Mark Henning
Procurement Strategies For Reducing Capital Costs Of Zero-Emission Buses, Alison Smyth, Justin Brightharp, Andrew R. Thomas, Mark Henning
All Maxine Goodman Levin School of Urban Affairs Publications
One of the challenges to deployment and commercialization of zero-emission buses is the high capital cost of the vehicles relative to vehicles powered using conventional technologies. A strategy for reducing these costs is to increase sales volume, which has been successfully driven through funding opportunities like the Federal Transit Administration’s Low or No Emission Vehicle Program. Another strategy for increasing sales volume is to combine vehicle purchases from multiple transit agencies through a joint procurement. There have been extensive exercises in Europe to decrease the cost of fuel cell electric buses using a joint procurement strategy, with some level of …

An Analysis Of The Association Between Changes In Ambient Temperature, Fuel Economy, And Vehicle Range For Battery Electric And Fuel Cell Electric Buses, Mark Henning, Andrew R. Thomas, Alison Smyth
An Analysis Of The Association Between Changes In Ambient Temperature, Fuel Economy, And Vehicle Range For Battery Electric And Fuel Cell Electric Buses, Mark Henning, Andrew R. Thomas, Alison Smyth
All Maxine Goodman Levin School of Urban Affairs Publications
This report evaluates the effects of changes in ambient temperature on the fuel efficiency and range of zero emission buses. The report relies on data that was made available from transit agencies that have deployed hydrogen fuel cell and battery electric zero-emission buses. This analysis shows that the fuel economy and range of electric drive buses may vary significantly with changes in outdoor temperature. In planning zero emission fleet development strategy, it is important for transit agencies to understand how their zero-emission bus’s performance may change with temperature. The effects of temperature change on range may be particularly important in …
Energy Storage Roadmap For Northeast Ohio 2019: Executive Summary, Mark Henning, Andrew R. Thomas
Energy Storage Roadmap For Northeast Ohio 2019: Executive Summary, Mark Henning, Andrew R. Thomas
All Maxine Goodman Levin School of Urban Affairs Publications
A great deal has changed in the energy storage industry since 2011. The way in which people interact with energy in living our lives has continued to undergo fundamental shifts that have become ever more conspicuous. The changing dynamics of not only how the energy we use is generated, but also of how and when it must be deployed to meet our increasing—and increasingly complex—demand for electric power are accelerating the need for more advanced, economical forms of energy storage.
This 2019 Energy Storage Roadmap examines the trends that are driving growth in energy storage for the electric power grid, …
