Arches H2

THE H2HUBS WILL FORM THE FOUNDATION OF A NATIONAL CLEAN HYDROGEN NETWORK THAT SUBSTANTIALLY REDUCES THE NATION’S ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT ACROSS SEVERAL SECTORS OF THE ECONOMY AND SUPPORT THE DEVELOPMENT OF H2HUBS THAT DEMONSTRATE THE PRODUCTION, PROCESSING, DELIVERY, STORAGE, AND END-USE OF CLEAN HYDROGEN, TO ACHIEVE A CARBON-FREE ELECTRIC GRID BY 2035 AND A NET ZERO EMISSIONS ECONOMY BY 2050. MATCHING THE SCALE UP OF CLEAN HYDROGEN PRODUCTION TO A GROWING REGIONAL DEMAND IS A KEY PATHWAY TO ACHIEVING LARGE-SCALE, COMMERCIALLY VIABLE HYDROGEN ECOSYSTEMS. H2HUBS WILL ENABLE THIS PATHWAY BY DEMONSTRATING LOW-CARBON INTENSITY AND ECONOMICALLY VIABLE HYDROGEN-BASED ENERGY ECOSYSTEMS THAT CAN REPLACE EXISTING CARBON-INTENSIVE PROCESSES. THIS WILL ACCELERATE THE DEPLOYMENT OF THESE TECHNOLOGIES, ATTRACT GREATER INVESTMENTS FROM THE PRIVATE SECTOR, AND PROMOTE SUBSTANTIAL U.S. MANUFACTURING OF ALL TYPES OF HYDROGEN RELATED TECHNOLOGIES.
