Description (excerpt):
The Return on Investment of U.S. Clean Hydrogen Policy (June 2025) quantifies the economic return of U.S. clean hydrogen hubs (H2Hubs) and policy incentives by comparing low-carbon hydrogen program costs with their potential economic benefits.
In 2021, Congress passed the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law (BIL), providing $8 billion in funding for new energy infrastructure nationwide. States, local governments, and the private sector have strongly supported H2 Hubs, with at least 469 companies committing up to $50 billion for hub projects.
As momentum for clean energy investment continued, Congress passed the Inflation Reduction Act (IRA) in 2022, creating an incentive for producing low-carbon hydrogen projects. These policies have supported plans for more than 200 low-carbon hydrogen projects across 35 states, with roughly 130 of the projects announced since the IRA was passed.
