WASHINGTON — The U.S. Department of Energy opened applications Thursday for $7 billion in funding for regional hydrogen hubs.
The Bipartisan Infrastructure Law passed last year directed DOE to fund at least four hydrogen hubs in different areas of the United States, but DOE said Thursday it aims to fund 6 to 10 hubs. The hubs will demonstrate hydrogen production, processing, delivery, storage and use.
"It'll build networks of hydrogen producers, potential consumers and local connected infrastructure to accelerate the use of hydrogen," said Mitch Landrieu, White House infrastructure coordinator. "This is going to be a game changer for communities in the country."
