Introducing wind and solar renewable energy sources in place of natural gas to produce electricity and hydrogen leads to a reduction of air pollution emissions. Implementation of wind- and solar-based electricity for AP emissions mitigation is less costly than the introduction of wind- and solar-based hydrogen. With present costs of wind and solar electricity, it is shown that, when electricity from renewable sources replaces electricity from natural gas, the cost of air pollution emission abatement is more than ten times less than the cost if hydrogen from renewable sources replaces hydrogen produced from natural gas. The introduction of ‘‘renewable’’ hydrogen as a fuel for fuel cell vehicles instead of gasoline can lead to economically effective reductions of AP emissions only if the efficiency of a fuel cell vehicle is about two times higher than that of an internal combustion one. The results provide a useful economic evaluation of air pollution emissions mitigation by the introduction of renewable wind and solar energy sources.
