The Pacific Northwest Hydrogen Hub (PNWH2) is leading the charge to transition hard-to-abate industries away from fossil fuels to hydrogen in Washington, Oregon, and Montana. The hub, part of the U.S. DOE's Regional Clean Hydrogen Hubs Program, plans to use electrolytic hydrogen, despite cost challenges compared to fossil fuel-based hydrogen. PNWH2 aims to create supply and demand simultaneously, a unique approach requiring significant investments and efforts. With a focus on sectors like public transit and power, the hub received $27.5 million federal funding and aims to produce over 3 million metric tons of hydrogen annually. Concerns around water usage and renewable energy availability were addressed during stakeholder discussions, highlighting the need for sustainable practices and resource recycling. PNWH2's commitment to electrolysis and renewable energy sources underscores the region's push towards decarbonization. By judiciously utilizing resources and focusing on hard-to-decarbonize sectors, the hub aims to drive a significant shift towards sustainable energy practices in the Pacific Northwest.
