Green hydrogen winners and fossil energy losers emerge from Energy Department's $7 billion Regional Clean Hydrogen Hub Program.
As promised, the Biden administration is moving full steam ahead with its plan to establish a network of hydrogen hubs in the US, with the Energy Department carving up a $7 billion pot of funding for the effort through a provision of the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law. As the plans took shape last year, it seemed that green hydrogen would grab the lion’s share of funding. However, the law also requires a seat at the table for fossil energy stakeholders, so let’s see how that panned out.
“The California Hydrogen Hub will leverage the Golden State’s leadership in clean energy technology to produce hydrogen exclusively from renewable energy and biomass. It will provide a blueprint for decarbonizing public transportation, heavy duty trucking, and port operations — key emissions drivers in the state and sources of air pollution that are among the hardest to decarbonize,” the Energy Department enthused.
“It’s anticipated widescale use of electrolyzers will play a key role in driving down electrolyzer costs, making the technology more accessible to other producers, and reducing the cost of hydrogen production,” the Energy Department explained, so look for green hydrogen stakeholders in other states to benefit from the PNW H2 model.The other winning hubs are a mixed bag.
The region’s natural gas resources are in the mix, but the plan also leans heavily on green hydrogen from renewable resources.for water electrolysis. The same Energy Department program behind the Nine Mile project in New York is also supporting a similar water electrolysis demonstration system at the Davis-Besse Nuclear Power Station in Ohio.Overall, the Hydrogen Hubs program aims to take advantage of regional resources to help boost local economic development.
On October 4, House Republicans kicked Representative Kevin McCarthy of California out of the all-important position of Speaker. As of this writing no replacement is in sight, and nothing can get done until somebody occupies that chair.
