The U.S. is committing billions of dollars to set up hydrogen hubs across the country to produce cleaner forms of the elemental fuel for industry and transportation.The U.S. intends to turbocharge hydrogen as a tool to curb climate-warming emissions from industry and transportation — and create new jobs — by designating seven “hubs” across the country that will receive tens of billions of dollars of public and private funds to scale up production and use of the carbon-free fuel.
President Joe Biden and Energy Secretary Jennifer Granholm are to share additional details about the hubs at the Tioga Marine Terminal at the Port of Philadelphia on Friday. Eastern Pennsylvania is included in the Mid-Atlantic hydrogen hub, along with New Jersey and Delaware, while the western portion of the state is in the Appalachian hub that also covers West Virginia and eastern Ohio.
Hubs in California, which already has hydrogen cars and trucks on the road, and Texas, which uses vast amounts of hydrogen at oil refineries, will each receive $1.2 billion, the biggest awards. Along with the Appalachian and Mid-Atlantic hubs, others are in the “Heartland” region spanning Minnesota and North and South Dakota; a Midwestern hub in Illinois, Indiana and Michigan; and a Pacific Northwest hub that includes Washington, Oregon and western Montana.
The combination of the regional hubs and a new tax credit for clean hydrogen expected by December will dramatically impact the industry, Amy Davis, president of Accelera, the cleantech unit of engine maker Cummins, toldAccelera is ramping up production of electrolyzers that should be in greater demand owing to the federal program and hydrogen fuel cells designed for heavy-duty applications, including big trucks and stationary power generation.
