Comment:
Dear AB32 team, After reading about leakage in regards to the AB32 Global Warming Solutions Act, I noticed that Hydrogen Production is in the Medium leakage category. I would recommend placing Hydrogen Production in the High leakage category, due to the fact that a plant making Hydrogen or an industrial user consuming it could import it from out of state. Also, there is likely to be additional Hydrogen transportation infrastructure in the future as Hydrogen fuel becomes more prevalent. In order to prevent CO2 emission reductions in California from being completely offset by emission increases outside California due to leakage, shouldn't Hydrogen production be placed in the High leakage category? Thanks for the opportunity to comment.
