The U.S. Department of Energy allocated $30 million to kickstart the planning and design phase of the California Hydrogen Hub, part of a $1.2 billion project aimed at promoting hydrogen as an energy source and combating climate change.
President Biden's initiative includes establishing hydrogen hubs in seven regions across 16 states to accelerate the transition from fossil fuels to hydrogen, creating jobs and attracting private investments worth over $40 billion.
California, Washington, Minnesota, Texas, Pennsylvania, West Virginia, and Illinois will host these hubs. The president emphasizes clean hydrogen as vital for achieving net-zero greenhouse gas emissions in the U.S. by 2050.
The announcement marks a significant milestone in the Energy Department's efforts to fund the hubs and build sustainable infrastructure, bringing to fruition diverse projects tailored to each region's needs.
