More Than $16 Million Now Available to Advance Innovation in Clean Hydrogen – NYSERDA

Governor Hochul announced more than $16 million is now available to advance innovation in clean hydrogen through the Hydrogen and Clean Fuel Program. 

Governor Hochul today announced more than $16 million is now available to advance innovation in clean hydrogen through the Hydrogen and Clean Fuel Program. This funding will support research, development, and demonstration projects and also help leverage federal hydrogen funding opportunities, promoting the use of clean hydrogen in industrial processes, clean transportation, energy storage and for grid support. Today’s announcement supports the State’s nation-leading Climate Leadership and Community Protection Act goal to transition to 100 percent zero-emission electricity by 2040.

“New York is taking the lead to build a clean hydrogen ecosystem and growing the nascent industry,” Governor Hochul said. “As we continue to foster the green economy, advancing alternative fuels is an important way to reduce emissions economy-wide and create new clean energy job opportunities.”

Administered by the New York State Energy Research and Development Authority (NYSERDA), this funding is now available through two competitive opportunities under the Hydrogen and Clean Fuel Program an $11 million RD&D solicitation and a $5 million rolling solicitation that can provide cost share support for entities successfully applying for federal hydrogen funding for New York-based projects. Environmental justice and disadvantaged community stakeholder perspectives have been instrumental in shaping the areas of focus for the solicitations.
