The Pacific Northwest Hydrogen Association (PNWH2) received $27.5 million from a potential future $1 billion in federal funding from the U.S. Department of Energy, making our Pacific Northwest Hydrogen Hub one of the first U.S. Regional Clean Hydrogen Hubs to officially launch.
As part of its U.S. Hydrogen Hub designation, PNWH2 will receive an initial amount of up to $27.5 million from a potential future $1 billion in federal funding, as outlined in the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law.
Together with partners, PNWH2 is establishing the Pacific Northwest as a national benchmark for successful low-carbon intensity and economically viable green hydrogen production. Phase 1 will encompass initial planning, permitting, and analysis activities to ensure that the overall Hub concept is technologically and financially viable, with input from relevant local stakeholders.
Key PNWH2 Hub Facts
The PNWH2 Hub expects to consist of eight project locations, also known as nodes, across Washington, Oregon, and Montana.
PNWH2 will leverage the region’s innovative technology and abundant renewable energy to address the hardest and abate end-users, such as public transit, agriculture products, medium- and heavy-duty transport, and electric power industry. To learn more about their projects and partners, click here.
Community engagement is an essential part of the PNWH2 Hub. Washington State University (WSU), with support from its Consortium for Hydrogen and Renewably Generated E-Fuels (CHARGE), will oversee the Community Benefits Plan in alignment with the Biden-Harris Administration’s Justice40 initiative.
