As way of celebrating the progress seen in the US, H2 View wanted to take the opportunity to revisit some of the biggest stories over the past 12 months that have been laying the foundations the nation’s hydrogen economy.
Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act
November 2021 saw President Joe Biden dedicate $9.5bn for the hydrogen industry in the $1.2 trillion Infrastructure, Investment and Jobs Act, solidifying that a hydrogen-fuelling future for the US and directing the federal government to develop the country’s first national roadmap and strategy.
The act set out to make $8bn for large-scale regional clean hydrogen hubs, $1bn for hydrogen electrolysis research and development, and $500m for clean hydrogen manufacturing and recycling, available to the industry.
Welcoming the bill, Frank Wolak, President and CEO of the Fuel Cell and Hydrogen Energy Association (FCHEA), said, “I am thrilled by the passage of this bill, which represents the strong bipartisan support for the hydrogen and fuel cell industry and the hard world of our membership. This bill demonstrates the incredible potential for creating the nation’s hydrogen economy.”
