	Hydrogen is widely used in industry already, mostly produced from methane. There has been much progress on the production via electrolysis and on its use in fuel cells. Because renewable hydrogen costs are falling it continues to gain attention. See the main article for more information on hydrogen production, storage, safety, uses and byproducts.

 Many environmental groups as of December 2021 have expressed opposition to the draft bills because of their favorable treatment of the fossil-fuel industry. In order to accommodate some form of the bills, some possible improvements could include performance criteria and prudence clauses i.e. limit implementation initially to a pilot plant scale. This will allow the bill to proceed and give the fossil-fuel industry a chance to demonstrate their proposals as a viable solution.
-The acts would set the stage for whatever permits, incentives etc. needed to build it, test it, prove if it works on not, all before scaling up and investing large sums of money, and risking stranded assets. This is actually good project development practice. Included in the pilot study could be such things as a demonstration of electrolysis of candidate industrial water streams, demonstration of artificial carbon capture and sequestration, demonstration of successful injection well performance and verification the carbon is dutifully locked away forever.

 With public funds used for subsidies and tax credits to help finance projects, the results of the work should be closely and independently examined to provide recommendations to the appropriate state agencies for approval for scaling up licenses if it all meets certain performance criteria (tighter than in the draft), is consistent with the ETA standards, etc. One criterion might focus on how the hydrogen generated, the cogenerated oxygen and other possible byproducts (e.g. chlorine) would be integrated into the existing markets. Subsidies and tax credits should not be directed at already developed technology of Steam Methane Reforming (SMR) to produce hydrogen.
