Biden Administration Invests $7 Billion in Clean Hydrogen Hubs to Aid Transition to Renewable Energy

The Biden administration is investing $7 billion in 7 hydrogen production hubs across the US, part of transitioning to clean energy.

Most hydrogen today is made from fossil fuels, emitting greenhouse gases. The hubs will use some fossil fuels but aim to capture carbon emissions.

The hubs will use a mix of renewable energy, nuclear, and fossil fuels with carbon capture to produce low-emission hydrogen.

Producing clean hydrogen is currently far more expensive than using fossil fuels. The goal is to cut costs by 80% to $1/kg.

The hubs are expected to create thousands of jobs and deliver environmental benefits to disadvantaged communities.
