Integrated Digital Twins & AI for Plant Optimization
The use of digital twin technology and AI for real-time monitoring, predictive maintenance, and operational optimization of pyrolysis units will enhance reliability, efficiency, and safety.
Impactful Policy Frameworks
Inflation Reduction Act (IRA) of 2022
The Inflation Reduction Act (IRA) of 2022 includes significant tax credits and incentives for clean hydrogen production (45V Clean Hydrogen Production Tax Credit) and carbon capture utilization and storage (45Q Tax Credit for Carbon Oxide Sequestration).
The IRA directly reduces the cost of clean hydrogen production for Modern Hydrogen and makes their solid carbon sequestration more economically viable for customers.
Department of Energy's (DOE) Clean Hydrogen Hubs (H2Hubs) Initiative (2022-2023)
The DOE's H2Hubs Initiative, supported by the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law, allocates $7 billion to establish regional clean hydrogen production and consumption hubs across the United States.
This initiative creates large-scale market opportunities and potential partnership avenues for Modern Hydrogen's distributed hydrogen production technology within designated hubs.
Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) Proposed Emissions Standards for New and Existing Power Plants (2023)
The EPA proposed new carbon emissions standards for new gas-fired power plants and existing coal and gas-fired plants, encouraging carbon capture technologies and low-emission hydrogen.
These proposed standards increase the demand for clean hydrogen as a decarbonization solution for power generation, a key target market for Modern Hydrogen.
