US DOE set to cancel all remaining hydrogen hub grants: reports

The US Department of Energy (DOE) is planning to cancel grants for all five of the remaining federally backed hydrogen hubs, according to various reports.

Politico reports a list circulating among Capitol Hill staff marks over 600 clean energy grants for more than $20bn as “terminate,” adding to the more than 321 awards cancelled earlier this month.

These would include the remaining five clean regional hydrogen hubs funded by the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law, originally intended to bolster hydrogen production and use across the US.

The $7.5bn funding cut announced on 1 October saw the two West Coast hubs – California’s Alliance for Renewable Clean Hydrogen Energy Systems (ARCHES), and the Pacific North West Hydrogen Hub (PNWH2) – have their $2.2bn of funds removed.
