The Pacific Northwest Hydrogen Association (PNWH2) has appointed Chris Green as its first president to drive the development of a clean hydrogen ecosystem across Washington, Oregon, and Montana. Green's role involves executing PNWH2's vision to establish a robust network of clean hydrogen suppliers and end-users in the region, in collaboration with labor, Tribal Nations, and public and private sectors. With his background in legislative and economic development, Green is well-equipped to lead PNWH2 in its mission to create a commercially viable clean hydrogen ecosystem. PNWH2's Phase 1 focuses on detailed project planning to ensure the technological, financial, and legal viability of proposed projects. Supported by federal grants and investments, the organization aims to position the Pacific Northwest as a national benchmark for successful low-carbon intensity hydrogen production. The initiative is part of the U.S. Department of Energy's Regional Clean Hydrogen Hubs Program, funded through the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law. The selection of PNWH2 as one of the entities for the Hydrogen Hubs program highlights the region's potential to accelerate hydrogen infrastructure deployment and attract investments. The organization's commitment to social equity and environmental justice aligns with its goal of creating quality jobs and promoting clean energy solutions. Through collaborations with various stakeholders, PNWH2 aims to facilitate the transition to a sustainable, low-carbon economy in the Pacific Northwest.
