The US Department of Energy (DoE) has unveiled plans to allocate up to $1.2 billion for the HyVelocity Gulf Coast Hydrogen Hub in Texas and the Gulf Coast, as well as up to $1 billion for the Midwest Alliance for Clean Hydrogen Hub (MachH2) in Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, and Michigan. These investments aim to drive private sector involvement in clean hydrogen, supporting national decarbonization goals. Additionally, the DoE and Los Alamos National Laboratory are seeking commercial partners to accelerate the market adoption of hydrogen fuel cell technologies. Further, Air Liquide has committed €50 million to establish a new hydrogen packaging and delivery supply chain in Normandy, France, using renewable hydrogen from its Normand’Hy electrolyzer. In the UK, Centrica and FTI Consulting warn of the risks associated with a lack of a hydrogen market in the energy system, emphasizing the potential benefits of large-scale hydrogen storage in reducing costs for consumers.
