Regardless of the political fighting in Washington, D.C., hydrogen remains a viable product for energy dominance and represents a market worth hundreds of billions of dollars that generates millions of jobs.
While we are disappointed in the Department of Energy’s decision to cut funding for the Pacific Northwest Hydrogen Hub, there is still immense opportunity for our region to finish what we started—establishing a national benchmark for hydrogen production that brings economic opportunities to communities across the region. PNWH2 will continue to support our project and industry partners that have laid the foundation for a thriving hydrogen ecosystem throughout the Pacific Northwest.
The future of hydrogen is still being written by states, communities, and industries across the country. With or without federal support, this industry will continue to drive the innovation and infrastructure needed to fortify America’s energy economy.
