; 119 Stat. 600) is amended by inserting after the item relating to section 969D the following: Sec. 969E. Hydrogen Technologies for Heavy Industry Demonstration Program. . 3. Study (a) In general Not later than 270 days after the date of enactment of this Act, the Secretary of Energy, the Secretary of Commerce, and the Secretary of Transportation shall jointly conduct and submit to Congress a report describing the results of a study— (1) to examine the potential for emissions reductions at industrial facilities through hydrogen applications, including— (A) the potential use of levelized cost of carbon abatement, or a similar metric, in analyzing industrial uses of hydrogen; and (B) the feasibility and impact of incorporating levelized cost of carbon abatement to compare the costs of technology options to reduce emissions across a range of industrial applications; (2) to fully address existing challenges with respect to ensuring the safe use and handling of hydrogen and hydrogen-based fuels and blends in industrial systems, including health and environmental impacts associated with the leakage of hydrogen and hydrogen carriers; (3) to identify and evaluate the feasibility, safety, and best practices of the use of hydrogen and ammonia as industrial fuel and feedstock, including ways that current procedures, training, and handoffs with supply chain partners should be augmented to ensure safety for workers and neighboring communities; (4) to examine the feasibility of blending increasing levels of hydrogen with natural gas to supplement process heat requirements; (5) to examine the environmental impacts of hydrogen combustion in hydrogen-fueled gas turbines as pure hydrogen or at different ratios if used in blended fuel
