The US hydrogen fuel industry today and future

Abstract

In December 2021, the US Department of Energy (DoE) unveiled the Office of Clean Energy Demonstrations with $21.5bn in federal funding to deploy the advanced green technologies. The most significant portion of the budget, $9.5bn, has been dedicated to renewable hydrogen to commercialize innovative technologies and establish four regional hubs and a recycling and manufacturing program. Green hydrogen is already the focus of the DoE's energy initiatives, which aims to mitigate the cost of renewable hydrogen production by 80% over the next decade.
