Connecticut's Draft Clean Hydrogen Roadmap for Energy and Environmental Development
Key Ideas
  • The Connecticut DEEP has released a Draft 2024 Clean Hydrogen Roadmap to promote hydrogen production and infrastructure development.
  • The roadmap aims to integrate clean hydrogen into the state's energy landscape for decarbonisation, economic growth, and environmental justice.
  • Strategic development of clean hydrogen production and infrastructure will be prioritized to scale Connecticut's hydrogen economy over time.
  • Key stakeholders, including DEEP Commissioner Katie Dykes and Congressman John Larson, are actively involved in supporting hydrogen development in the state.
The Connecticut Department of Energy and Environmental Protection (DEEP) has unveiled its Draft 2024 Connecticut Clean Hydrogen Roadmap to boost the production and infrastructure of hydrogen in the state. The roadmap outlines Connecticut's vision for incorporating clean hydrogen into its energy sector to drive decarbonisation, economic prosperity, and environmental fairness. By promoting the use of hydrogen derived from renewable sources, the state aims to advance the adoption of clean hydrogen technologies. The DEEP is focused on identifying target technologies, volumes, and strategic approaches to expand Connecticut's hydrogen economy effectively. The Draft Clean Hydrogen Roadmap not only evaluates the benefits and risks associated with hydrogen but also proposes policies, programs, and pilot projects to align hydrogen development with state objectives. DEEP Commissioner Katie Dykes emphasized the importance of the roadmap in providing policymakers with comprehensive insights to incentivize clean hydrogen development for the well-being of Connecticut residents. The involvement of state leaders like Congressman John Larson highlights the commitment to advancing hydrogen initiatives. Furthermore, in a significant development, FuelCell Energy recently inaugurated a 14MW fuel cell park in Derby, Connecticut, which stands as one of the largest in North America. This move underscores the state's progress towards embracing fuel cell technology and indicates a positive trajectory for hydrogen utilization in Connecticut's energy landscape.
