Description (excerpt):
The Regional Clean Hydrogen Hubs (H2Hubs) Program, managed by the U.S. Department of Energy’s (DOE) Office of Clean Energy Demonstrations (OCED), aims to create networks of hydrogen producers, consumers, and local connective infrastructure to accelerate the use of hydrogen as a clean energy carrier that can deliver or store tremendous amounts of energy.
Funded through the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law, OCED selected seven H2Hubs to begin award negotiations for up to $7 billion, the largest investment in clean manufacturing and jobs in American history. Following negotiations, in July 2024, OCED awarded the Pacific Northwest Hydrogen Hub—led by the Pacific Northwest Hydrogen Association (PNWH2)—with $27.5 million for the first tranche of funding out of the total project federal cost share of $1 billion to begin Phase 1 of the project plan. PNWH2 is proposing project locations throughout Washington, Oregon, and Montana.
