Problem Statement
Primary legislation for hydrogen production does not mention the role of Licensed Suppliers. Consequently, the LCCC does not have the power needed to compel Licensed Suppliers to disclose the information needed by the LCCC to carry out its duties with regards the Hydrogen Production Business Model (HPBM) and Low Carbon Hydrogen Agreement (LCHA) to prove that the electricity is compliant with the Low Carbon Hydrogen Standard (LCHS) .
Proposed solution summary
