A contentious—but important—opportunity that FERC should evaluate is the ability of natural gas pipelines to transport hydrogen, a gas that releases no carbon dioxide emissions when burned but which, like natural gas, is dispatchable.228 The federal government has already allocated sub- stantial funds toward developing a clean hydrogen network.	cache/cjel-12370.pdf	txt/cjel-12370.txt
