The U.S. Energy Dept. plans to formally request more information in coming weeks as it inches closer to decisions about where to concentrate resources to develop hydrogen energy projects in "hubs” across the country, its top hydrogen program official told Congress.
At a Senate Energy and Natural Resources Committee hearing on Feb. 10, Sunita Satyapal, also director of DOE’s office of energy efficiency and renewable energy, said clean hydrogen funding provisions in the recently enacted infrastructure law, as well as sustained annual appropriations, will provide a “tremendous opportunity … to accelerate manufacturing and rollout of hydrogen technologies and enable a competitive, sustainable market.”
