Geographic deliverability regulations require hydrogen producers to source their clean energy from nearby areas

Geographic deliverability regulations require hydrogen to be produced in the same region of the country as the facility's clean energy source.1 This ensures that the clean energy hydrogen producers claim to use represents energy that is delivered to the local grid. This prevents hydrogen producers from claiming they are sourcing their electricity from a far-off energy source separated from the hydrogen production facility, while relying on nearby fossil fuels.2
