US backs seven regional hubs with $7b funding offer
DOE selects projects spanning broad range of production technologies and end-uses in its biggest hydrogen funding commitment to date
The US Department of Energy (DOE) has allocated $7b to support the launch of seven regional clean hydrogen hubs across the country, with the combined potential to meet 30% of the government’s 2030 production target.
