The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) recently awarded up to $2.2 billion for two regional clean hydrogen hubs to help accelerate the commercial-scale deployment of low-cost, clean hydrogen in the United States.
The two awardees — Gulf Coast H2Hub and Midwest H2Hub — are critical pillars of DOE's H2Hubs program, which was created by the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law to kickstart a national network of clean hydrogen producers, consumers and connective infrastructure while supporting the production, storage, delivery and end-use of clean hydrogen.
As part of the H2Hubs program, DOE is committing up to $1.2 billion of federal cost share for the Gulf Coast Hydrogen Hub, led by HyVelocity (HyV), and up to $1 billion of federal cost share for the Midwest Hydrogen Hub, led by the Midwest Alliance for Clean Hydrogen (MachH2). These awards follow three previously awarded H2Hubs.
Clean hydrogen is a flexible energy carrier that can be produced from a diverse mixture of
