RESOURCESfor the FUTUREIntegrating VariableRenewable Energy andStorage for Green HydrogenProductionJhih-Shyang Shih,Dallas Burtraw,and Karen PalmerWorking Paper 25-04February 2025About the AuthorsJhih-Shyang Shih is a fellow at Resources for the Future (RFF).He has extensiveexperience in energy and environmental modeling.His research focuses on integratedsystem analysis of environmental and resource policy and decisionmaking.His workhas been published in leading journals,including PNAS,Environmental ScienceTechnology,the Review of Economics and Statistics,and the European Journal ofOperational Research.Dallas Burtraw is a Darius Gaskins Senior Fellow at RFF.Burtraw has worked topromote efficient control of air pollution and written extensively on electricity industryregulation and environmental outcomes.Burtraw's current research includes analysisof the distributional and regional consequences of climate policy,the evolution ofelectricity markets including renewable integration,and the interaction of climatepolicy with electricity markets.He has provided technical support in the design ofcarbon dioxide emissions trading programs in the Northeast states,California,and theEuropean Union.He also has studied regulation of nitrogen oxides and sulfur dioxideunder the Clean Air Act and conducted integrated assessment of costs,and modeledhealth and ecosystem effects and valuation,including ecosystem improvement in theAdirondack Park and the southem Appalachian region.Karen Palmer is a senior fellow at RFF and an expert on the economics ofenvironmental,climate and public utility regulation of the electric power sector.Herwork seeks to improve the design of environmental and technology regulations in thesector and the development of new institutions to help guide the ongoing transitionof the electricity sector.To these ends,she explores climate policy design,analyzesefficient ways to promote use of renewable and other clean sources of electricity,andinvestigates new market designs,new approaches to electricity pricing and regulatoryreforms to pave the way for long-term decarbonization of electricity supply andelectrification of the energy economy.AcknowledgementsWe thank Aaron Bergman,Alan Krupnick,Billy Pizer,and RFF's Electric Power Programseminar participants for their comments,and Resources for the Future for financialsupportResources for the Futurei
