Comments on the CEC Modeling for SB 100 Joint Agency Report
On August 20, the CHBC submitted comments to the California Energy Commission SB 100 Joint Agency Report Docket No. 19-SB-100, urging inclusion of a zero-carbon scenario and green electrolytic hydrogen as a long-duration storage and electricity generation resource. Green electrolytic hydrogen holds great promise to provide dispatchable, decarbonized firm power that can be stored in vast quantities until needed, such as during seasonal and peak demand periods. It also presents many economic opportunities for California, due to its high potential for a rapid downward cost trajectory and for creating and retaining good, green jobs in the state.
