Opportunities at PNWH2
Call for Concept Papers – PNWH2 Projects
The Pacific Northwest Hydrogen Association (PNWH2), as part of the United States Department of Energy (DOE) Regional Clean Hydrogen Hub program, intends to release a request for proposals (RFP) in the coming months. We are seeking projects to add to our current portfolio that demonstrate excellence in hydrogen production, processing, delivery, storage, and/or end-use. To begin this process, PNWH2 is seeking Concept Papers for potential regional clean hydrogen projects. This is a great opportunity for new and existing partners to showcase transformative projects aligned with the Department of Energy’s goals for a clean hydrogen economy. A request for proposals (RFP) will follow the call for concept papers for interested applicants that have been positively reviewed and encouraged to continue in our process.
Interested applicants must submit concept papers in PDF format via email to [email protected]. Proposals received through any other means will not be considered. No printed copies are required. To be eligible to submit a response to the future RFP, applicants must submit a Concept Paper by 11:59 PM PST Dec 4, 2024. Interested applicants are not required to submit an acknowledgement of receipt to submit a concept paper; however, this is strongly encouraged. If there are any questions pertaining to the RFP, please contact: [email protected].
