Biden Administration Awards $62M for Clean Hydrogen Projects Across 15 States
Key Ideas
  • The Biden administration is providing $62 million to support 20 clean hydrogen projects in 15 states to advance the nascent industry.
  • The projects will focus on developing hydrogen technologies, building a 'hydrogen fueling station of the future' for trucks, and supporting fueling stations for medium and heavy-duty vehicles.
  • The funding will also aid in the development of fuel-cell-powered port equipment, enhancing community engagement, and addressing siting and installation challenges.
  • Energy Secretary Jennifer Granholm highlighted that the U.S. is at the forefront of clean hydrogen development, crucial for reducing emissions in energy-intensive sectors.
The Biden administration has unveiled a plan to allocate $62 million to support 'clean' hydrogen projects in 15 states as part of its efforts to bolster the emerging industry. These funds, awarded by the Department of Energy, will back 20 projects aimed at developing and showcasing various hydrogen technologies. Notably, a significant portion of the funding, amounting to $40 million, is designated for constructing a 'hydrogen fueling station of the future' tailored to power trucks. This investment will be distributed among four projects spearheaded by companies in Arizona, California, Connecticut, and New York. Additionally, the initiatives will include establishing hydrogen fueling stations for medium-sized and heavy-duty vehicles, creating fuel-cell-powered port equipment, enhancing community involvement in the hydrogen sector, and assisting the DOE in identifying and overcoming challenges related to site selection and installation. Energy Secretary Jennifer Granholm emphasized the pivotal role of clean hydrogen as a versatile fuel essential for curbing emissions in the most polluting segments of the economy, positioning the U.S. as a global leader in clean hydrogen innovation.
