Hydrogen Fuel Cell Bus Council’s Post

https://lnkd.in/dxSgSzxJ The United Sates Department of Energy (DOE) has unveiled a groundbreaking $2.2bn investment in two Regional Clean Hydrogen Hubs. These hydrogen hubs—the Gulf Coast H2Hub in Texas and the Midwest H2Hub spanning Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, and Michigan—aim to accelerate the deployment of clean hydrogen at a commercial scale, fostering significant economic and environmental benefits.

The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) has announced an additional $2.2 billion in award commitments for two Regional Clean Hydrogen Hubs: the Gulf Coast Hydrogen Hub (HyVelocity Hub) and the Midwest Alliance for Clean Hydrogen Hub (MachH2). These hubs, part of President Biden's Investing in America agenda and funded through the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law, aim to accelerate clean hydrogen production and infrastructure. The Gulf Coast Hub will leverage Texas's renewable energy and natural gas, creating 45,000 jobs, while the Midwest Hub will drive industrial decarbonization in Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, and Michigan, creating 12,000 jobs. These two hubs moving forward will drive the U.S. closer to its 2030 hydrogen production goals, significantly cutting emissions while generating tens of thousands of jobs across the nation.

Major News for the Midwest Alliance for Clean Hydrogen! 🚨🚨 There are major steps being taken throughout the country for the different Hydrogen hubs in partnership with the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) Its exciting to see how all of this will come together and ultimately how the country will unite in this power industry to build the bridges and build the future! #Hydrogen #Energy #AlternativePower

Permit Roadblock Threatens to President Biden’s Clean Hydrogen Pipeline Plan According to a Department of Energy roadmap, hydrogen infrastructure, including pipelines, requires "rapid scaling up," with annual investments rising from $2 billion to $3 billion between 2023 and 2030. By 2050, these needs could balloon to $15-20 billion annually.

Taking the Brakes off Hydrogen and Power-to-X https://bit.ly/4fvb8jw In a guest article, Steve Horrax, head of department for energy transition UK & Ireland at Ramboll, argues that to make the most of hydrogen in the short-, medium- and long-term, investment will be needed in skills development and infrastructure, whilst ensuring the right support mechanisms are in place. >> https://bit.ly/4fvb8jw * Full article, no subscription needed #WorldEnergyOpinion #energypolicy #hydrogen #greenhydrogen #cleanhydrogen #hydrogeninfrastructure #energyinfrastructure #powertox #ptx #p2x #netzero #energytransition

Interview with Sandrine Meunier, head of French gas TSO, GRTgaz She says France is set to miss its electrolyser capacity target by five years, likely installing 6.5 GW by 2035 instead of 2030 “It’s going to take a little longer to achieve competitive hydrogen production, it’s a new industry so it necessarily takes time to scale up,” although industrial consumers are committed to switching to hydrogen Despite the weak signals, GRTgaz is developing hydrogen infrastructure projects in industrial hubs in France, but is not yet working on large-scale pan-European projects, which are “much more long term“ The TSO head argues hydrogen production costs should be identical across France, Germany and Spain to ensure French industrials remain in the country, factoring in transportation costs Full story: https://lnkd.in/ews_xj-v -

Three of the UK's biggest energy firms have come together in Parliament to launch plans for a low carbon hydrogen hub. The project, named H2H Easington, includes proposals to develop a multi-stage green and blue hydrogen production facility, which will grow over time as the #hydrogen economy does. The partnership will also explore the possibility of a dedicated pipeline linking H2H Easington to Equinor's proposed H2H Saltend hydrogen production facility, as well as Equinor and SSE Thermal's proposed hydrogen storage facility in East Yorkshire, as concerns remain about the infrastructure required to transport hydrogen economically.

🌍 A milestone for hydrogen integration in the U.S. energy landscape: The HyVelocity Hub has secured up to $1.2 billion in federal funding to advance low-carbon hydrogen production and infrastructure in Texas and the Gulf Coast. ⚡ Potential impact: The initiative aims to reduce CO₂ emissions by 7 million metric tons annually and create up to 45,000 jobs. It is a step for energy security and economic growth in the region. 🧪 Leveraging existing assets: The Gulf Coast's hydrogen production infrastructure positions the hub as a catalyst for scaling clean hydrogen use across sectors, including transportation, industry, and marine fuels. 🔍 Balanced perspective: The initiative's success depends on equitable community engagement, transparency in environmental impacts, and realistic timelines for scaling up. 💡 Broader implications: Projects like this highlight the growing global emphasis on hydrogen’s role in decarbonization but also underline the need for a critical examination of cost, efficiency, and lifecycle impacts. #Hydrogen #CleanEnergy #Decarbonization #ClimateAction #EnergyTransition

Exciting news for the UK hydrogen sector! The government's commitment to a £7 billion annual opportunity, as highlighted by Industry Minister Sarah Jones, underscores the immense potential of this burgeoning market and the critical need for energy storage solutions like MESH.    At EnergyPathways plc we're pleased to see this level of support for building a cleaner, more secure energy future. The focus on international collaboration, particularly with Germany, and the development of crucial pipeline infrastructure are key to unlocking the full potential of hydrogen. We're eager to contribute to the UK's leadership in this vital sector and look forward to the upcoming funding decisions and the Spring spending review.   https://lnkd.in/e6xxaZUD #hydrogen #energy #UK #innovation #EnergyPathways #storage
