Clean Fuels in the Industrial Sector

The industrial sector has unique energy demands, often requiring high temperatures for manufacturing processes. Clean fuels like renewable hydrogen, geothermal energy, and renewable methanol are emerging as viable solutions. However, market-based accounting methodologies are still developing, making it challenging to track and trade these fuels effectively. This background report, the second sector-specific background report released by CRS’s Clean Energy Accounting Project (CEAP) as part of its inaugural Clean Fuels Week, is part of an initiative developing market-based accounting guidelines for clean fuels.
