Biden to Fund 7 Hydrogen Hubs to Manufacture Cleaner Fuel and Create Jobs

President Biden will announce 7 regional hydrogen hubs to manufacture cleaner fuel from renewable energy, nuclear power, or methane gas.

The hubs will be funded by $7 billion from the bipartisan infrastructure law. Locations include the Mid-Atlantic, Appalachia, California, Houston, the Upper Midwest, the Midwest, and Pacific Northwest.

The goal is to catalyze $50 billion in investments and create many new jobs, while producing 3 million tons of hydrogen per year by 2030.

Hydrogen will help decarbonize hard-to-abate sectors like trucking and industry that rely heavily on fossil fuels.

The hubs are estimated to reduce carbon emissions by 25 million metric tons per year, equivalent to taking 5.5 million gas cars off the road.
