The Biden administration seeks to put the United States in a leading role to develop the climate-friendly super fuel.
Pressure gauges on a hydrogen storage facility at the National Renewable Energy Laboratory on Sept. 16, 2022, in Golden, Colo. Plans to develop a climate-friendly super fuel capable of powering heavy trucks, ships and energy-intensive factories will get a big boost from President Biden on Friday, as he unveils plans for funding a network of seven clean hydrogen “hubs” across the nation.
Amid the hype around hydrogen are also deep-rooted challenges, as environmentalists warn that if the administration does not impose tough regulations, this fledgling sector could actually make the climate problem worse. Biden will announce the awards at a shipping terminal in Philadelphia that is at the center of one of the projects. The hubs are collaborations of companies, government agencies and universities angling to build the massive new infrastructure required to manufacture the fuel and get it to users, such as the big trucks and ocean cargo ships that move through the Philadelphia terminal.
Industry officials and unions argue that it is essential to jump-start the technology affordably, giving companies some flexibility in how they power production of the fuel. They say companies share the goal of getting emissions out of hydrogen production entirely, and those that don’t move in that direction quickly will struggle to sell their product.The projects selected by the Biden administration represent every region of the country.
