The U.S. Dept. of Energy selected 33 public-private teams—out of 79 total contenders—to move forward as the strongest candidates in the competition for up to $7 billion in federal funding to support development of large regional clean energy hydrogen hubs.
Funded through the 2021 infrastructure law, the hubs are a network of clean hydrogen producers and the infrastructure that connects them. They are part of a larger $8-billion program established by the law to back efforts to shave costs of producing hydrogen with renewable power electrolysis.
