How Can the U.S. Sustain and Accelerate Hydrogen Growth?

Synopsis

Following the historic $7 billion investment in regional clean hydrogen hubs and broader clean energy initiatives, the DOE’s Office of Clean Energy Demonstrations is playing a pivotal role in reshaping America’s energy landscape. This session provides critical insights into the DOE’s strategic vision, implementation plans, and support mechanisms for advancing clean hydrogen deployment across the United States.

• What mechanisms and resources will the DOE provide to ensure successful deployment of the hydrogen hub projects beyond initial funding?
• How will the DOE’s hydrogen strategy help create sustainable commercial markets and drive private sector investment?
• What role will the Office play in coordinating technology validation and standardization across different hydrogen applications?
• How will the hydrogen hubs program catalyze regional economic development and workforce transformation?
• What cross-agency collaborations are being developed to streamline permitting, infrastructure development, and market access?
• What additional support mechanisms and funding opportunities are being considered to accelerate clean hydrogen deployment?
