US DOE Awards $2.2bn for Regional Clean Hydrogen Hubs
Key Ideas
  • The US DOE has allocated $2.2bn for two Regional Clean Hydrogen Hubs to boost green hydrogen deployment.
  • The Gulf Coast Hydrogen Hub and Midwest Hydrogen Hub will receive $1.2bn and $1bn federal cost share respectively.
  • These initiatives are part of a larger plan to establish seven H2Hubs across the US, targeting a significant reduction in CO2 emissions by 2030.
  • The overall goal is to accelerate the commercial-scale production of low-cost green hydrogen in the country.
The US Department of Energy (DOE) has taken a significant step towards promoting clean energy by awarding up to $2.2bn for the development of two Regional Clean Hydrogen Hubs (H2Hubs) in the United States. These hubs, the Gulf Coast Hydrogen Hub and the Midwest Hydrogen Hub, aim to facilitate the widespread implementation of low-cost green hydrogen. The federal cost share for these projects amounts to $1.2bn and $1bn respectively. This funding follows the establishment of three previous H2Hubs in the Appalachian region, California, and the Pacific Northwest. The US administration's broader initiative includes a $7bn scheme to establish a total of seven H2Hubs, with a collective clean hydrogen production capacity of 3 Mt/year. This capacity is poised to cover around one-third of the country's 2030 production target, contributing significantly to reducing CO2 emissions from challenging industrial sectors. The overall objective of these endeavors is to expedite the commercial-scale deployment of affordable green hydrogen, marking a crucial advancement towards a cleaner and more sustainable energy landscape in the US.
