In order to construct up to 10 clean hydrogen hubs across the nation, the Office of Clean Energy Demonstrations is investing $7 billion.

One of them, which will also encompass Montana, Minnesota, and Wisconsin, will be in North Dakota.

But for this to succeed, our state’s commercial and public sectors need to work together more closely.

Department of Energy offers the private sector and other industry partners a useful, engagement-driven resource on how and when particular technologies can be fully deployed.

Advanced nuclear, clean hydrogen and long-term energy storage will be the first steps in this process.

With the help of these reports, the federal government is collaborating with the business sector to ensure that our states are prepared to launch the hydrogen hub project.

Energy supply and demand mismatches are nothing new, but they become even more pronounced when discussing a novel energy resource, such as hydrogen, according to David Crane, director of the Office of Clean Energy Demonstrations.

The hydrogen value chain must also put a strong emphasis on worker and environmental safety. The hydrogen must be transported and stored by the hubs as well. That will necessitate the daily use of our highways and railroads. On April 7th, bids for the development of hydrogen hubs will be accepted.
