Hydrogen  | United States

Texas governor Greg Abbott visited London this week to sign a free trade agreement with the UK – one encompassing CCS and Hydrogen:

This has been followed a highly relevant announcement from D.C where, as part of President Biden’s Investing in America agenda, the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) announced $750 million for 52 projects across 24 states to dramatically reduce the cost of by clean hydrogen and reinforce America’s global leadership in the growing clean hydrogen industry.

These projects—funded by the President’s Bipartisan Infrastructure Law—will help advance electrolysis technologies and improve manufacturing and recycling capabilities for clean hydrogen systems and components, directly supporting more than 1,500 new jobs.

Things have moved on since an invitation to the United States inaugural Hydrogen Summit – one shared with the community – as far back as 2021:

Today’s news moves the dial and reinforces the Biden-Harris Administration’s whole-of-government approach to accelerating the deployment of clean hydrogen—as laid out in the US Hydrogen Strategy and Roadmap and coordinated by the Hydrogen Interagency Task Force. The ambition extends well beyond US borders;

The US projects are expected to enable domestic manufacturing capacity to produce 14 gigawatts of fuel cells per year, enough to power 15% of medium- and heavy-duty trucks sold each year, and 10 gigawatts of electrolyzers per year, enough to produce an additional 1.3 million tons of clean hydrogen per year.

Advancing zero or near-zero emissions clean hydrogen is a key component of President Biden’s plan to tackle the climate crisis, create good-paying jobs across the nation, and strengthen America’s manufacturing and industrial competitiveness.

Texan potential is made most tangible in the infographic below and careful consideration of it helps explain why Governor Abbott this week was with our #DIT and, in London, the heart of global finance.
