U.S. National Clean Hydrogen Strategy and Roadmap Interagency Collaboration
Clean hydrogen is a key part of a comprehensive portfolio of energy technologies that can support the Nation’s transition to net-zero while leveraging abundant regional resources, enabling energy security and resiliency, creating value across applications and sectors, and fostering equitable and sustainable growth. The U.S. National Clean Hydrogen Strategy and Roadmap, 1 required by Congress in the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law (BIL), articulates a goal of 10 million metric tonnes (MMT) per year of clean hydrogen by 2030, 20 MMT per year by 2040, and 50 MMT per year by 2050.
These scenarios are based on achieving cost competitiveness to enable demand in specific sectors and align with the Administration’s climate strategy. To help execute on the National Hydrogen Strategy, the Biden-Harris Administration is announcing the launch of the Hydrogen Interagency Task Force (HIT) to further advance a whole-of-government approach to clean hydrogen. The United States government can serve a key role in supporting the development of a robust market for clean hydrogen supported by domestic supply chains and sustainable jobs by: Effective policies as well as research, development, demonstration, and deployment (RDD&D) from supply through end use will enable the United States to achieve its national goals and ensure the benefits of clean hydrogen in the economy.
