The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) has launched two RFIs to collect feedback from stakeholders to inform the implementation and design of the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law’s Regional Hydrogen Hub and the Electrolysis and Clean Hydrogen Manufacturing and Recycling Programs.
This request will help accelerate progress, reduce technology cost, and ramp up the use of hydrogen as a clean energy carrier.
Clean hydrogen is crucial to DOE’s strategy for achieving President Biden’s goal of a 100 percent clean electrical grid by 2035 and net-zero carbon emissions by 2050.
“Clean hydrogen is key to cleaning up American manufacturing and slashing emissions from carbon-intensive materials like steel and cement while creating good-paying jobs for American workers,” said Jennifer Granholm, U.S. Secretary of Energy. “We’re seeking feedback from the American public on how to make scaling up this clean, affordable energy source a reality for the United States.”
