 3 § 1885. Establishment of a renewable hydrogen incentive program. 1.
 4 The legislature hereby finds and declares that:
 5 (a) the climate leadership and community protection act (CLCPA)
 6 requires significant reductions in greenhouse gas emissions, including a
 7 forty percent reduction in statewide greenhouse gas emissions by two
 8 thousand thirty and an eighty-five percent reduction in statewide green-
 9 house gas emissions by two thousand fifty;
 10 (b) in order to meet these aggressive targets, it is necessary to
 11 further develop renewable energy sources, including renewable hydrogen;
 12 (c) renewable hydrogen has significant potential to contribute to
 13 responsible decarbonization in the future, and there are efforts under-
 14 way in New York, at the federal level and globally to determine the
 15 potential of this technology;
 16 (d) renewable hydrogen has the ability to decarbonize sectors that are
 17 difficult to electrify, including the transportation and industrial
 18 sectors, as well as the gas pipeline system;
 19 (e) decarbonization of these sectors will provide substantial benefits
 20 to disadvantaged communities;
 21 (f) supporting the further development of the renewable hydrogen
 22 industry will offer new opportunities for developing and employing New

 7 provide benefits to disadvantaged communities, create jobs, and provide
 8 new clean technology to decarbonize challenging sectors.

 13 consistent with the CLCPA;
 14 (b) "renewable hydrogen" means hydrogen produced using renewable ener-
 15 gy sources and/or produced with a carbon intensity equal to or less than
 16 two kilograms of carbon dioxide equivalent produced at the site of
