Item 2 Posting Language ..Title Authorize negotiation and execution of two contracts for tree growth regulator services with Edko LLC and T&S Growth Solutions, LLC, each for up to three years for total contract amounts not to exceed $5,000,000, divided between the contractors. [Note: This solicitation was reviewed for subcontracting opportunities in accordance with City Code Chapter 2-9C (Minority Owned and Women Owned Business Enterprise Procurement Program). For the services required for this solicitation, there were no subcontracting opportunities, therefore, no subcontracting goals were established]. ..Body Lead Department Financial Services Department. Client Department(s) Austin Energy. Fiscal Note Funding in the amount of $1,388,889 is available in the Fiscal Year 2023-2024 Operating Budget of Austin Energy. Funding for the remaining contract term is contingent upon available funding in future budgets. Purchasing Language: The Financial Services Department issued a Request for Proposal (RFP) 1100 DCM3019 for these services. The solicitation was issued on May 22, 2023, and closed on June 13, 2023. Of the four offers received, the recommended contractors submitted the best evaluated responsive offers. A complete solicitation package, including a log of offers received, is available for viewing on the City’s Financial Services website, Austin Finance Online. Link: Solicitation Documents. For More Information: Direct questions regarding this Recommendation for Council Action to the Financial Services Department – Central Procurement at: FSDCentralProcurementRCAs@austintexas.gov or 512-974-2500. Respondents to the solicitation and their Agents should direct all questions to the Authorized Contact Person identified in the solicitation. Council Committee, Boards and Commission Action: November 13, 2023– To be reviewed by the Electric Utility Commission. Additional Backup Information: The contracts will provide Austin Energy with tree growth regulator services around utility lines and within electrical system easements, rights-of-way, substation facilities, and generating plants. Managing vegetation around energized utility lines is critical to ensuring the public’s safety. Tree growth regulators are increasingly being integrated into programs across the United States to change the way trees are cared for under power lines, around the power lines, and along right-of-ways. Tree growth regulators can also extend prune cycles on given circuits which can promote safety, which results in fewer opportunities for an incident to occur on circuits as well keeping trees out of power lines. The contractors will apply herbicides to manage and suppress vegetation growth in accordance with public safety, environmental, aesthetic and animal care requirements. The contractors will also notify and discuss with property owners any …

Green Hydrogen: Costs, Availability, and Risks 1 January 22, 2024 www.cleanegroup.org Item 5 Abbe Ramanan Affordable, reliable, clean energy for all. 2 www.cleanegroup.org Hydrogen Information & Public Education Raising awareness of the health and environmental impacts of hydrogen production and use. 3 www.cleanegroup.org/initiatives/hydrogen © Clean Energy Group Types of Hydrogen Generation – the “Rainbow” e v i s n e t n i n o b r a C e e r f n o b r a C Grey Hydrogen Hydrogen produced from natural gas via a process called steam methane reformation (SMR), without carbon capture. 95% of hydrogen produced today is grey hydrogen. Blue Hydrogen Hydrogen produced from natural gas via SMR, but with carbon capture deployed during the process to capture production-related carbon emissions. Turquoise Hydrogen Hydrogen produced by splitting natural gas into methane, hydrogen, and solid carbon black. Gold or Orange Hydrogen Produced by pumping a mix of CO2 and microbes into depleted oil wells, paired with carbon capture. Green Hydrogen Hydrogen produced via a process called electrolysis, in which an electric current is run through water to separate the hydrogen and oxygen molecules. If that electricity comes from renewable energy, the hydrogen is considered green. There are no carbon emissions associated with this process . 4 Pink Hydrogen Hydrogen produced via electrolysis, but the electrolyzer is powered by nuclear energy. White Hydrogen Naturally occurring hydrogen found in underground deposits. Why Defining Green Hydrogen is Important • Green hydrogen, blue hydrogen, and more recently, gold/orange hydrogen, are often conflated under the umbrella term “clean hydrogen.” • However, only green hydrogen produced via renewable-powered electrolysis is truly carbon-free. • This definition is even more important now because of recently released draft guidance by the Treasury for the 45V Clean Hydrogen Production Tax Credit. • 45V is a tiered incentive based on CO2-equivalent emissions. Carbon-free hydrogen is eligible for a $3.00/kgH2 credit. • To be eligible for the highest tier of the 45V credit, hydrogen projects must demonstrate: – Temporal matching: every hour of electrolytic production is matched by an hour of 5 renewable energy production using Energy Attribute Certificates (EACs). – Additionality: hydrogen production must be powered by new renewable energy resources, built within three years of the hydrogen facility, not existing ones. – Localized production: renewable energy resources must be located within the same region as the hydrogen production facility. Availability of Green Hydrogen • Without …
