Hydrogen

Hydrogen as Fossil Fuel Replacement

Hydrogen is essential to extend clean energy solutions to polluters that are otherwise hard to decarbonize, like maritime shipping, steelmaking, trucks, and long-haul transportation.  Clean hydrogen production uses either renewable energy or fossil fuels with the resulting CO2 captured. 

Regional Clean Hydrogen Hubs

The US Department of Energy’s Regional Clean Hydrogen Hubs are groups of hydrogen producers and users who will demonstrate, over a five-year period, the production, delivery, storage, and use of clean hydrogen made in various ways. The federal government is distributing $7 billion to build 7 regional hydrogen hubs around the country.  One of these, called MACH2, is a regional group of companies in Southeast Pennsylvania, Southern New Jersey, and Delaware. It has been funded at $750 million.
