The Open Hydrogen Initiative (OHI) is celebrating a year defined by collaboration, shared vision, and unwavering dedication. Through the collective efforts of the cohort, OHI has reached key milestones that advance its mission to foster transparency and trust in the hydrogen economy. This year we: 🌐Launched and refined the OHI toolkit, now the most comprehensive open-source tool for quantifying hydrogen carbon intensity. 🌐Kicked off Phase II of the initiative’s work, including expanded work to address ammonia production and hydrogen transport. 🌐Advanced market standards, assurance programs, and policy discussions. 🌐Engaged with global energy leaders by attending 15+ events across North America, Latin America, Eastern Europe, and the Middle East. We look forward to continuing this momentum in 2025 and thank the entire OHI cohort and its supporters for their commitment, trust, and partnership in advancing this vital work.

As 2024 comes to a close, we are reflecting on an incredible year filled with purpose, collaboration, and progress in energy systems. Together with our partners, we have made strides in energy innovation that benefits people everywhere, from scaling carbon capture technology and accelerating sustainable fuels to delivering tools for emissions accountability and fostering innovation in low-carbon hydrogen hubs.   We are ready to accelerate progress in 2025.  Check out some highlights from our year:

By leveraging existing infrastructure, underground hydrogen storage (UHS) can reduce costs and risks while supporting long-duration energy storage needs.  At the American Geophysical Union's #AGU24, GTI Energy’s Shadi Salahshoor, Ph.D. and Shaik Afzal highlighted the potential of UHS as a scalable solution for renewable energy storage and the importance of field-scale demonstrations to address real-world challenges, optimize storage capacity, and refine facility designs.   Our #SUSTAINH2 initiative is advancing this work by bridging research and deployment, fostering collaboration to ensure safe, effective, and practical hydrogen storage solutions.  Learn more: https://lnkd.in/gEd9FTb7

As the energy sector focuses on the urgent need for methane reductions, GTI Energy’s Veritas initiative stands at the forefront of creating transparent and actionable solutions. Methane emissions are over 80 times more potent than CO₂ in the short term, making it critical for the energy sector to address them effectively and accurately. Veritas is dedicated to developing standardized methodologies that empower companies to measure, report and reduce methane emissions with precision. By aligning with initiatives like the UN Environment Programme’s OGMP 2.0, Veritas provides the tools to turn methane reduction goals into measurable outcomes—paving the way for meaningful change and industry accountability.

The more we explore #hydrogen’s role in decarbonization, the clearer it becomes: understanding and mitigating its indirect climate impacts is essential. 🌍🔍    At HEX@TEX, GTI Energy’s HyRes initiative brought experts together to tackle key questions around #hydrogenemissions. Topics ranged from life-cycle assessment to challenges in continuous monitoring, including cost, cross-sensitivity, and data access.    Clean hydrogen requires significant investment to produce, transport, store, and use. Minimizing emissions and waste is essential to transforming hydrogen’s growing potential into a practical pillar of the future energy landscape.    As we move into 2025, we’re excited to see progress in:   ✅ Hydrogen sensing collaborations  ✅ Field testing and sampling  ✅ Emissions quantification and protocols    The questions we’re asking about hydrogen today are similar to those we’ve asked about #methane—and answering them will be just as critical for achieving a low-carbon future.    Learn more about HyRes: https://lnkd.in/gjwXKABf 

Our Veritas initiative is setting a new standard in methane emissions transparency and accountability. By focusing on accurate and verifiable emissions measurement, Veritas empowers companies to confidently report, manage and reduce methane emissions. Veritas’ commitment to reliable, science-based data can catalyze meaningful change in emissions management by: ✅ Establishing uniform methodologies for emissions measurement, providing a solid foundation for transparency. ✅ Supporting companies in their journey toward tangible methane reductions. ✅ Fostering collaboration across the energy ecosystem, building a unified approach to emissions accountability.

Secure and reliable energy access is critical for the U.S. military to operate effectively in today’s complex world. Thank you to Michael C. Bradford, Ph.D. for representing our Hydrogen Energy Research Operation (HERO) framework at the DoD Energy and Environmental Innovation Symposium.   HERO’s first phase will guide the engineering design of a pilot facility, focusing on scalable hydrogen technologies for heat, power, and mobility applications. Looking ahead, future phases aim to expand these solutions across DoD facilities, advancing energy resilience and supporting decarbonization goals.

We’re excited to announce we’ve been awarded CarbonSAFE Phase II funding by U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) to support research on CO2 capture and storage complex feasibility.   Our selected project, the Grays Harbor CO2 Capture and Storage Hub, is set to explore the feasibility of storing 50 million metric tons of CO2 within a 30-year time frame and will provide critical insights for safely and responsibly advancing a low-carbon energy future.   Learn more about the project and award here: https://lnkd.in/gA3UA28W #carbonstorage #ccus

Hydrogen holds promise as a clean energy solution, but its future hinges on one critical factor: accurate emissions accounting. The 45V hydrogen tax credit could either accelerate decarbonization—or reward high-emission projects—depending on how emissions are measured. Why it matters: 👉 Hydrogen production methods vary widely, and current draft rules rely on a national average emissions dataset. This could misallocate credits to high-emission projects, undermining the intent to reward low-carbon innovation. 👉 A facility-specific accounting system is essential to ensure taxpayer dollars incentivize technologies that truly reduce emissions. What’s needed: ✅ Harmonized methodologies to assess carbon intensity at the facility level. ✅ Inclusive dialogue among policymakers, industry leaders, and environmental advocates to shape durable and impactful policies.
