Kansas hydrogen field tax hope is deflated in senate hearing
Kansas Geological Survey official told the Senate Assessment and Taxation Committee that commercial hydrogen development near Junction City is unlikely. He warned a severance tax on hydrogen would chase away investors and noted few other commercial hydrogen productions exist. The bill would add hydrogen to the state severance tax list, while oil and gas, coal and salt already taxed. Three major oil firms are studying test wells in the field.
