Pathways to commercial Lift Off, Clean Hydrogen   | D o E

Key messages of the Clean Hydrogen Liftoff report:

PTC reduces production costs to kick-start the transition from high carbon
intensity (CI) to low CI hydrogen for existing uses

In addition to industrial/chemicals use cases, transportation use cases will be
critical for market lift-off

DOE H2Hubs and open access infrastructure will bolster the project
economics for more nascent use cases

Without sustained long-term offtake or merchant markets, domestic
market acceleration could slow

Foregrounding energy and environmental justice mitigates project risk, improves
health and safety in surrounding communities, and generates social acceptance

Providing quality jobs and investing in worker development is
essential to recruit and retain a sufficient, appropriately skilled hydrogen workforce
