Analysis from the University of California, Irvine, concluded that green hydrogen could provide about 20% of the emissions reductions needed for Los Angeles to comply with federal smog standards …. In a four-month period modeled by UC Irvine, the improved air quality would result in 27 fewer deaths, 960 fewer hospitalizations and 7,500 fewer lost work days, said Michael MacKinnon, a senior scientist in the advanced power and energy program at UC Irvine. … Developing a green hydrogen industry could also support more than 28,000 full-time jobs in the LA area, compared to the 22,000 jobs currently supported by the natural gas and refining industries, according to Jeffrey Reed, chief scientist for renewable fuels and energy storage at UC Irvine.
