Our vision is to create a hydrogen ecosystem across the Pacific Northwest that promotes job growth and improves lives throughout the region.

The Pacific Northwest Hydrogen Association (PNWH2) is dedicated to establishing the Pacific Northwest as a leader in global energy innovation.

MISSION + VISION

Our vision is to create a hydrogen ecosystem across the Pacific Northwest that promotes job growth and improves the lives of people throughout the region.

The Pacific Northwest Hydrogen Association (PNWH2) is a multi-state nonprofit organization made up of public and private partners dedicated to establishing the Pacific Northwest as a leader in global energy innovation. We’re focused on revitalizing domestic manufacturing jobs and reducing reliance on foreign energy and goods through successful low-carbon intensity and economically viable hydrogen production.

The PNWH2 Hub expects to consist of eight project locations across Washington, Oregon and Montana. In partnership with labor, Tribal Nations, and public and private sector partners, the Hub will accelerate the deployment of hydrogen infrastructure to attract greater foreign and private investment and promote high-quality jobs throughout the region.

PROJECTS

Demonstrating the use of hydrogen at-scale across industries.

The PNWH2 Hub’s proposed projects, or “nodes,” across Washington, Oregon, and Montana will demonstrate the use of hydrogen at scale as a safe and reliable energy storage and transfer medium, allowing intermittent electricity generation for peak energy delivery. The hydrogen will be converted to provide more suitable fuel for heavy-duty transportation and transformed into a vital industrial chemical feedstock to support domestic manufacturing.
