The US Department of Energy’s Office of Clean Energy Demonstrations has announced funding awards for five regional hydrogen hubs to accelerate the adoption of clean hydrogen. These hubs will establish networks connecting hydrogen producers, consumers, and local infrastructure to promote hydrogen as a clean energy carrier. The majority of the hubs will focus on developing infrastructure for increased hydrogen use in the transportation sector, including refueling stations, hydrogen-powered vehicles, and maintenance facilities. Hydrogen's versatility and applicability in various industries, particularly transportation, rely on the expansion of hydrogen refueling infrastructure. The selected hubs plan to support multiple uses of hydrogen, with a specific emphasis on its application in transportation. Examples include the Appalachian Hydrogen Hub working on projects in West Virginia, Pennsylvania, and Ohio, the California Hydrogen Hub with plans for hydrogen production and fueling stations, the Gulf Coast Hydrogen Hub focusing on hydrogen liquefaction, the Midwest Hydrogen Hub developing refueling stations, and the Pacific Northwest Hydrogen Hub facilitating hydrogen use along key highway systems. Furthermore, the Mid-Atlantic and Heartland Hubs are also part of the initiative to expand hydrogen applications in transportation across several states. These initial funding awards will enable the hubs to begin Phase 1 work, which includes planning, site selection, technology deployment, and stakeholder engagement. The projects will showcase hydrogen production facilities, pipelines, storage facilities, fueling stations, and maintenance depots to support the transition to hydrogen-powered trucks, equipment, and vehicles. By investing in clean hydrogen infrastructure, the DOE aims to drive the commercial-scale deployment of low-cost hydrogen and establish a robust hydrogen network for various industries, contributing to the shift towards sustainable energy sources.
