Seven regional clean hydrogen hubs across the U.S. were announced Friday, including in California.
Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass speaks at a press conference to announce announce a federal award of $1.2 billion for California to become a national “hydrogen hub.” in San Pedro on Friday, October 13, 2023. A significant portion of this funding will go to both the Ports of Los Angeles and Long Beach. The ports of Los Angeles and Long Beach stand to reap millions of dollars from a federal Clean Energy Grant announced Friday, Oct. 13, which will bring $1.2 billion to California.
A project labor agreement is part of California’s deal for the funding, which the federal government said “will expand opportunities for disadvantaged communities and create an expected 220,000 direct jobs” in construction, with some 90,000 permanent jobs anticipated. U.S. Rep. Robert Garcia, D-Long Beach, issued a written statement calling the announcement “a home run for both our climate and economy.”
The $1.2 billion for California comes from a larger $7 billion federal grant announcement by Biden early Friday to build out the regional hydrogen hubs across the country. The grant, Seroka also said, sends a message to the private sector and those within the production chain that commercially testing and ramping up the ready availability of those cleaner vehicles is viable.
