Greenhouse gas offsets distort the effect of clean energy tax credits in the United States by Emily Grubert, Wilson Ricks, Danny Cullenward

“…Prominent clean energy tax credits in the United States (U.S.) could drive large expenditures that materially increase greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions if their implementing regulations assign negative values to avoided GHG emissions and allow projects to offset other supply chain emissions on this basis. Most notably, we find that assigning negative GHG intensities to biogenic- and fossil-origin methane feedstocks and allowing such feedstocks to be blended with natural gas could support about 35 million metric tonnes of gray hydrogen production per year under the Section 45V tax credit. …”
