- Federal grantAgriculture · Currently, More Than 9 Million Metric Tons Of Hydrogen Is Produced Annually In The Usa, Typically For Use In Oil Refining, Chemical Production And Metals Manufacturing. Most Hydrogen Is Produced Using Steam Methane Reforming Which Is Referred To As Grey Hydrogen Because The Process Is Energy Intensive And Releases Significant Greenhouse Gas Into The Environment. In Fact, The Production Of Fossil Fuel-derived Hydrogen Is Responsible For 830 Million Tonnes Of CO2 Emissions Per Year, Equivalent To $175K
