The US Department of Energy (DOE) has awarded up to US$2.2bn for two Regional Clean Hydrogen Hubs (H2Hubs) that will help accelerate the commercial-scale deployment of low-cost green hydrogen in the United States. As part of the H2Hubs program, the DOE is committing up to US$1.2bn of federal cost share for the Gulf Coast Hydrogen Hub, led by HyVelocity (HyV), and up to US$1bn 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, namely the Appalachian Hydrogen Hub, the California Hydrogen Hub and the Pacific Northwest Hydrogen Hub. In October 2023, the US administration announced a US$7bn scheme to launch seven Regional Clean Hydrogen Hubs (H2Hubs) across the United States, in order to accelerate the development of hydrogen. The seven projects are expected to have a cumulated clean hydrogen production capacity of 3 Mt/year, covering nearly 1/3 of the country's 2030 production target and reducing CO2 emissions from hard-to-abate industrial sectors.
