> Okay, but why is the government subsidizing this? Because the goal is to reduce carbon emissions. This plant produces Hydrogen out of hydrocarbons, and manages to sequester 40% of the CO2 output. The Hydrogen produced maybe be used to generate electricity, for example. The obtained MWh of electricity will have less CO2 emissions than if you simply burn the hydrocarbon to begin with. Moreover, you can store the Hydrogen for load balancing. It's not 100% carbon neutral, but it's an improvement over what's available now; the perfect is the enemy of the good.
