<DIV STYLE="text-align:Left;"><DIV><DIV><P><SPAN>The Regional Clean Hydrogen Hubs (H2Hubs) will kickstart a national network of clean hydrogen producers, consumers, and connective infrastructure while supporting the production, storage, delivery, and end-use of clean hydrogen. Funded by the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law (BIL), the H2Hubs will accelerate the commercial-scale deployment of clean hydrogen helping to generate clean, dispatchable power, create a new form of energy storage, and decarbonize heavy industry and transportation. Together, they will also reduce 25 million metric tons of carbon dioxide emissions from end-uses each year—an amount roughly equivalent to combined annual emissions of 5.5 million gasoline-powered cars—and create tens of thousands of good-paying jobs across the country while supporting healthier communities. Learn more about this announcement and attend a briefing.Key areas DOE evaluated when selecting H2Hubs included: Technical Merit and Impact, including but not limited to the ability of the proposed hub to deploy infrastructure and produce at least 50-100 metric tons of clean hydrogen per day and reduce greenhouse gas emissions. Financial and Market Viability, including growth potential and market competitiveness of the proposed hub. Workplan, including the speed at which the hub could begin operations and overall project management details. Management Team and Project Partners, including the team’s ability to execute the plan with a high level of success. Community Benefits Plan, including an assessment of community and labor engagement, quality job creation and workforce development, diversity equity inclusion and accessibility, and the Justice40 Initiative.</SPAN></P></DIV></DIV></DIV> |
